1 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.
 
2 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.
 
3 Korai Orom Part 2 Korai Orom 1996 1996 Szerzoi Kiadas (?)
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.
 
4 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.
 
5 Solaris Eden 1990 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.
