Nostalgia is a solo album by Czech musician Ivan Kral, former member of Patti Smith Group. It was released in 1995 by BMG Ariola label and it was produced by Kral himself. It features guest appearances by Patti Smith and John Cale from the Velvet Underground.
In 1995 Kral won a Czech Academy of Popular Music award for this album as Best Producer[2] and it was also awarded for Best Album Cover.[3]
Kral admires the black/white photography of Czech photographer František Drtikol (1883 – 1961). The Drtikol estate curator, Anna Fárová, provided use of Drtikol photos to Kral for visuals in the CD. Kral’s video for the single, “Winner Takes All”,[4] is a re-creation of an imagined Drtikol photo session and includes restored footage.
