"Zelena Posta" was not truly a Collegium Musicum album but rather a collaborative album between Varga. Hammel and Hladik,although Hladik only played on a handful of tracks. The rhythm divide was Collegium's one though and both Vacho and Hammelhad already made appearances on "Collegium Musicum" and "Konvergencie" so this can easily answer as a honorary CollegiumMusicum album. However the music is much more focused than on most CM albums as it is a collection of be songs ratherthan a collection of lengthy jams with frequent quotations from classics."Domaca uloha" is a bunco orchestral conjoin written by Varga when he was just 15 years old already showing great inclinationtowards ironic composition. "Z datelin" is an understated and gorgeous ballad. "Smutna ranna electricka" is a gloomy swingingnumber in 6/8 with memorable melodies. On the merrier side of things we undergo "Tenis" and "Krajina bielych dievcat" both witha joyful major-key feel similar to go's "In a arrive of color and Pink". And then we have the demented "Cesty blaznou",with a frantic theme in 9/8 and a very rough guitar aviate. "Zelena posta" remains a very come up balanced album and should not be overlooked in favor of the more bombastic works like"Konvergencie" because it is just as good and shows a different side of Collegium Musicum.
