Review by Seyo
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

Given the odd origin of this live album - issued independently by the band themselves instead of the intended but allegedly censored studio album "200 �vvel az utols� h�bor� ut�n" - it is a very good one. In this period OMEGA lost two band members (who went to form LOKOMOTIV GT) and were struggling with the state-owned record company.

Unless you are more demanding for a higher quality of sound and production, these drawbacks are not so evident on "Elo". OMEGA sounds very powerful and strong on stage. It's still mainly a trendy hard rock sound with several nice ballads, and again one redundant blues improvisation... But, just listen to "Egy neh�z �v ut�n","H�tlen bar�tok" or "Var�zslatos, feh�r k�" and you'll experience excellent performing with fiery prog rock energy! Several guitar solos are developing the themes that would be perfectuated on their smash hit "Nem tudom a neved" on "Omega 6" album. For fans of early 70s heavy rock with prog leanings and beautiful psychedelic ballads (such as URIAH HEEP), this is a fine and enjoyable addition.

PERSONAL RATING: 3,5/5

P.A. RATING: 4/5
