Genre: Prog Rock (Art Rock/AOR/Neo Prog)  /  Hungary

English Version of the Album "Játékok"

Nice album of this Hungarian Band. A fine Progressive style with keiboards and very nice guitar arrangements. Lot's of spacey parts that made a very good instrumental context. A good band of East Europe when we can find a litle of Pink Floyd and a litle of Camel. The drummer is in a classic neo-prog vein, with a nice intricate part's. The vocal parts are very nice but is in Hungarian and we do not understand the message of lyrics but they are very harmonic in this prog style. I think that this album and specialy, the 3 first albuns of this band, are a very good adiction of a Progressive collector, specialy a East Europe band in Iron Courtain time, because rock is prohibited. Very good musicians in a hostile environment, that6 create a very nice album that we must to hear with care, valuing the context in which it was create. I like this album and this band and I give 4 stars because the arrangements and the high quality of the musicians, they are worthy. A good album for the East Europe Prog Fans.
