Nostalgia is a solo album by Czech musician
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.
