After Crying |
(Panem et Circenses) - Fun fair land open |
After Crying 6 |
1997 |
Periferic Records |
|
"6" is After Crying's latest studio release. It is a bit more upbeat
than their prior album. Another great release. Their live performances
are captivating. If you the opportunity to see them within 2,000 miles
of where you live, you should go see them.

Omega |
The Lost Prophet |
8: Csillagok Utján |
1978 |
Hungaroton-Gong |
|
On this album, Omega plays an accessible prog/pop. These guys are very
prolific, having released at least 2 dozen albums. At first, I did not
care for the vocals, but, now I like the uniqueness of the vocals
very much. Go figure.

Korai Orom is kind of a psychedelic space thing, often compared
to Ozric Tentacles. This is my favorite of their 3 studio releases.
The music is spiced up with lots of interesting percussive sounds.

M Efekt |
Vysoka Stolicka, Dlhy Popol |
Svitanie |
1977 |
Bonton Music / Opus |
|
M(odry) Efekt, from Czechoslovakia, play a (primarily) instrumental
prog/fusion comparable to Focus, Finnforest and Finch.
This album appears to be considered their best. There is an earlier
incarnation of the band called Blue Efekt. The leader and guitarist,
Radim Hladik, was also on the Hammel,Varga collaboration Zelena Posta.

1990 |
Hungaroton-Gong |
|
More instrumental symphonic. 1990 is a double album (CD). There
was a single CD issue of the album which should be avoided, as you
lose an entire side of the double album. This album is every bit as
good as their first, Martian Chronicles, so if you like MC, this
one is a sure bet.
