Their fifth album, *MARATHON*, originally released in 1978 on the Supraphon label, is being reissued in a remastered edition in 2026!\nThis is the LP vinyl edition.\n\nReleased four years after their previous album, *OLYMPIC 4*—which served as a transitional work in terms of both lineup and sound—this album features the addition of bassist Milan Broum (b), whose melodic playing continues to be a cornerstone of the band’s sound even today (as of 2026). While centered on mellow, mostly mid-tempo tracks, the album features a spacey atmosphere created by Miroslav Berka’s (key) synthesizer throughout, In terms of the fusion of the hard-rock band sound driven by Milan and the symphonic synth arrangements, it shares similarities with contemporaries like OMEGA.\nIncluding the title track—which features a technical instrumental section that stands out on the album and builds tension—this is a superb work that served as the prototype for the dynamic symphonic rock style heard in their 1980s releases, starting with their next album, *PRAZDNINYNAZEMI...?*!\nThe master uses the 2026 remastered audio by Oldrich Zamostny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Jako Kluci Zacli Jsme Hrat\u003cbr\u003e2.Mraz\u003cbr\u003e3.Cerna Kronika\u003cbr\u003e4.Tak Teto, Tady Je To\u003cbr\u003e1.Marathn\u003cbr\u003e2.Taky Jsem Se Narodil Bos\u003cbr\u003e3.Nech To Byt\u003cbr\u003e4.Tak Jedem Dal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425736122657,"sku":"99925699314","price":7890.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/99925699314.jpg?v=1788344755","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/99925699314","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
