Spektar

about

SPEKTAR was formed in early 1974 Zagreb, Croatia (former Yugoslavia) by keyboardist and composer Enco Lesić who had just left Indexi leaving behind his song "Sve ove godine" which earned them a smash hit in 1972. The band was named after the success of Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" LP. The members included: Davor Rocco on bass, Dragan Brčić on drums, Neven Franges on piano and Lesić on assorted keyboards. Franges soon dropped due to his academic and jazz career but continued to collaborate with the band on stage. After only a few live gigs in Zagreb the band were given opportunity to record a debut album in Ljubljana studios while the newly formed Suzy label from Zagreb was ready to invest in the release. Virtually unknown outside of Zagreb scene, SPEKTAR disbanded following the lack of success of the LP. In this period percussionist Berislav Puhlovski joined as a short-term member of the band. Upon the demise of the group Franges, Rocco and Brčić joined singer/songwriter Drago Mlinarec and contributed as session players on his acclaimed albums "Rođenje", "Negdje postoji netko" and "Sve je u redu". SPEKTAR played progressive rock with elements of jazz, funk and classical music. Due to guitar-less sound and heavy use of keyboards, they might be compared to Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Atomic Rooster, Traffic, Soft Machine or Opus (Belgrade).
