Aka Omega XIV and the first real studio album since Babylon in 1987. A kind of progressive pop that resembles most of all British band Camel. While being very melodic and well played, all songs are pretty same, medium tempo keyboard/guitar loaded epics sung in Hungarian language. While nothing is really bad, the album just drags on in the CD-age over length. Only for those deeply into this genre of stand-still-prog.
The most successful Hungarian rock band in history, Omega is one of the rare bands to have been known outside in his country. The legend has it that as albums were released in other countries it became necessary to brake the language barrier. Their music is a combination of Eastern European prog with a bit of symphonic and a bit of psyche prog. The result is a dark orchestrated sound combined with extended improvisation…

The late '60s and, most especially, the 70s have inspirited the music and the rock from all over the place, so that it evolved all the way up to contributing to the appearance of the most prestigious and prodigious ensembles. Locomotiv GT is a band that's legendary in the Hungarian Rock scene, but also in the Occident, lighting up an irresistible and torrential rock, in a way that made them classic. For the culture of rock, Locomotiv GT marks moreover an independent and styled breath than something typical and inspiring - nevertheless, it goes as a defining reference.
Locomotiv GT processed, during the classic period, all the fantasy and the asperities of hard and blues rock. Yet, in almost the same general way, their music consistently caught a much more artistic brightness (and all sorts of jazz, pop, melodic, lyrical and experimental accents)…

Bluebeard's Castle is a difficult opera to cast. Bluebeard himself must either be a bass who can get up to a high F or a baritone who can get down to low G. In the former category, to which Samuel Ramey belongs the usual risks are that he will sound unsuitably fatherly or will be uncomfortably tense in the upper register. Ramey avoids both hazards with ease: he combines gravity with believable youth, and has no problems with the upper reaches of the part. His is a slightly cool reserved, soft-grained Bluebeard, there is no swell of homage in the last scene when he hails his former wives as ''immortal, unforgotten'', but you may well prefer his sobriety to Fischer-Dieskau's meticulous but at times melodramatic expressive shading of every syllable.

The band Karthago received the Péter Máté award last year in recognition of its work, and after receiving it, band leader Ferenc Szigeti came up with the idea to pay tribute to Péter Máté's exceptional life work and his huge musical legacy by covering an entire album of songs. In addition, the fact that in 1979 Karthago worked together on two LPs recorded by Péter Máté, they took part in the recordings of various music TV shows together, and a few years later they asked him to arrange their song Requiem in a big orchestra gave an additional "boost" to the actual implementation. - with which they won the 1983 International Dance Song Festival in Villach - so not only a working but also a friendly relationship developed between them over the years, thus making the current movement much more personal.

Founded and directed by the Franco-Hungarian conductor Bruno Kele-Baujard, the Ensemble Zene has made a specialty of daring and off-the-beaten path programs. Its evocative name - "zene" is the Hungarian word for "music" - inclines it towards the Magyar-speaking repertoire, and it is therefore quite natural that it devotes its second recording to the a cappella works of Bartók, Kodály and Ligeti, whose centenary is being celebrated in 2023.

Only one year and a half after their first meeting in Budapest in early 1905, Bartók and Kodály were eager to jointly publish their first settings of Hungarian folk songs. In their foreword to the volume Magyar népdalok (Hungarian Folk Songs), they declare their goal thus: “…to get the general public to know and appreciate folk songs.”

This publication contains the recording of Omega's concert held in the Kisstadion on August 19, 1977. A wonderful and extremely important document from the period when Omega was at the height of its career. In 1976-77, The Time Robber played all over Europe. Their concert program also focused on the material from the Időrabló album, only looking back to a few songs from their previous album, Nem tijum a nevedig. The mood of the performance was elevated throughout, Omega's playing was perfectly mature and dynamic - from the Overture to the encore. János Karácsony, guitarist of LGT, drummer Csaba Debreczeni, and the singing trio Cini and Tinik participated in the concert. This recording was not edited by Magyar Rádió in its program at the time, fans were only able to hear it in 1991. The cut version of the concert was available on CD in a limited edition boxed edition, but the classical material can be heard in its entirety for the first time on this edition.

4th Omega album, containing new, for that time, songs recorded live.
The first Hungarian hard rock album, "Élő Omega", is 50 years old! On this occasion, a special gift box was released to the delight of Omega fans. 4 CDs, a picture book and the insert of the original sound record were included in the exclusive-looking, metallic-covered box.
The first disc is the same as the regular release, containing the remastered original album and 4 songs from the two singles associated with the disc.
The second CD contains the raw mix of the album from 1972. In addition to not containing audience noise, this audio differs from the original mix…

1982, hard times for prog and, like many other bands then, Omega changed their sound. Not only because of fashion - Omega musicians were seriously keen on computer technologies. As a result the album has obvious new wave sound, almost nothing reminds here of Omega's space-rock from the 70's.

Omega's 10th album "Az Arc" (The Face) is a departure form their 70's Symphonic-progressive Rock. The music is harder with grungy guitars,stomping drums,heavy bass and keyboards.( I found the keyboard sound the weakest element of this album due to it's "modern rock/new wave" influenced experimental sound. It comes accross skimpy at times, like playing a little toy keyboard.) Other wise, it is a very good album, mature and focused with somewhat political and philosophical lyrics about the fear of growing old, politics of everyday life and the lack of personal and artistic freedom.
