Gattch byla slovenska rockova skupina. Pusobila na ceskoslovenske hudebni scene v letech 1969-1974. Jeji hudba je pokusem o propojeni rockove hudby s jazzem a vaznou hudbou a je charakteristicka bohate strukturovanymi aranzma. Radi se do uzkeho okruhu ceskoslovenskych progressive rockovych skupin jako napriklad Collegium Musicum nebo Blue Effect.
História skupiny Gattch (1969) je pomerne krátka a výrazne ju poznačila politicko-spoločenská situácia na prelome 60. a 70. rokov. Zhodou okolností v tom čase čerstvo vytvorené vydavateľstvo Opus potrebovalo nových interpretov, keďže väčšina tých známejších bola ešte zmluvne viazaná u dovtedy monopolného Supraphonu. Tak sa stalo, že Gattch nahrali z dnešného pohľadu pozoruhodný album, v ktorom badať vplyvy art či jazz rocku a popri klasických rockových nástrojoch tu môžete počuť aj čembalo, husle či celestu. A keďže textárska schvaľovacia komisia vyniesla svoj zamietavý verdikt až po nahratí albumu, spevová linka bola v niektorých skladbách zámerne „znezrozumiteľnená“. Rok po vydaní albumu sa skupina Gattch z existenčných dôvodov rozpadla a jej členovia zamierili do sprievodných kapiel spevákov tolerovaného stredného prúdu.
The most progressive music of early 70's in Slovakia and probably even in Europe. Founded in 1969 in Nove Zamky by several students of Bratislava Conservatory. The band name is derived from the initials of the founding members nicknames. Unfortunately, after winding up in 1974 they were forgotten.
It was always difficult to discover some facts about this slovak progressive rock band. They have released only one LP called "Gattch" in 1971 a then they split up "because of different visions of their future". The band consisted of four young students playing the classic rock instruments - solo and bass guitars, piano and drums. Although this fact the sound of Gattch was very innovative thanks to the juicy experiments, unusual melodic sequences and rhytmic changes. I also have to say, that communists insisted on distorting the vocals, so that nobody could understand the provocatice lyrics. No wonder that Gattch is considered to be one of the most progressive slovak bands. This remastered reissue of their complete works consists of two CD's. The first disc includes the EP Gattch (tracks 1, 2), their eponymous LP (tracks 3-10) and some rare recordings (tracks 11-18). Disc 2 is a record of live concert in Ostrava in summer '72, it is full of jazzrock improvisations and saxophone solos.
