Reviews
Hungarian band. This time a more typically "progressive" band, although on the later side of the scale. Not too bad, but not worth killing for. Several albums were released in Hungarian as well as English. Make sure you get the Hungarian version: their English is not fantastic. And besides, Hungarian is a wonderful language for singing.
In the Barclay James Harvest vein and active from 1967 until 1991. Go for Time Robber. After their first six albums, they ventured into space-rock.
Hungary's most popular band, starting with a psychedelic style on Red Star, then developing into a more progressive style derived from Pink Floyd, Eloy and the like. Nem Tudom A Neved is a pretty raw album. The title track is pretty good, other songs have the germ of an idea but come off as undeveloped. For a country's most popular band, they really could use some better production values. Hall Of Floaters is a good deal better, benefitting by being recorded in the west (England, in fact) and including some orchestrations. Most of the songs here were originally on Nem Tudom A Neved, the extended versions here are far more interesting. Unlike the other album, all vocals here are in English. -- Mike Ohman
