Dan Bárta, an eleven-time winner of the Anděl Award in the categories Singer of the Year and Singer of the Quarter Century, became widely known in the 1990s with the band Alice and his performance in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He also became an integral part of the cult J.A.R. His broad musical outlook was used from the danceable Sexy Dancers to popular songs from films (including Snowboarders, Rafťáci, Horem pádem) to jazz associated with, for example, the Robert Balzar trio. He left his mark on a number of other domestic musical projects and also performed with greats of the world music scene (e.g. with singer Bobby McFerrin or Sting's court guitarist Dominik Miller). In 2000, Dan Bárta surprised fans with his own group Illustratosphere, with which he has released five regular albums and one live double album. The first four albums have also been released in remastered reissues and for the first time on LP. An unmistakable voice with excellent singing technique, lyrics playing with the charm of the Czech language, and first-class musicians: all of this gives rise to songs that soar above the domestic standard of popular music, which have appealed to listeners across generations for 25 years.
