FÖLD ÉS ÉG

This was the first album I ever heard from this Hungarian group. After reading some good things about them I decided to give it a shot. I do not remember why it was this particular album that I decided to purchase but it was probably because of some good reviews. All I can say that my disappointment was huge when I heard this. It was nothing that I expected it to be. A group that is often described chamber prog sounded like an ELP copycat. And I don't like that particular group. There are moments that are enjoyable but on the whole they do not live up to their name in this album.

The absolute highlight of this album is the wonderful closer "Ketezer Ev". It is a 5/5 track for me. Unfortunately, the rest is mostly far behind and many times even poor.

After Crying is a good band if you enjoy the more classical and sombre side of prog but this is a wrong album to start with. I started with this album and ignored this group for years after that. It was a mistake.

Conclusion: Not a good album.
