Marcus 5 by Matrix Music Arhiv
Matrix Music Arhiv proudly presents a newly remastered release of original archival recordings from Slovenia’s cult funk/new romantic supergroup!
Unearthed recordings and rare demos from the early ’80s — the first-ever official release, available on limited edition orange vinyl.
Marcus 5 — a band perhaps unfamiliar to many, but well-known among experts of the Slovenian alternative music scene as the country’s first recognized funk group — began playing in 1982.
Their sound combined alternative funk with a strong rhythmic foundation. The band quickly caught the attention of both the music press and the general public, thanks especially to their tight, high-energy live performances. They were even dubbed the best live band in Ljubljana at the time.
Though their time together was brief, the band left a lasting impression.
