Short description: | First album by a Hungarian progressive rock band, who also play titles by Yes, Enya and Frank Zappa. They have a female vocalist who sings in both English and Hungarian. The album shows clear marks of the influence of Yes, classical music, modern poetry and ancient metaphysics | |
Titles: | ||
1. Clear, Real Life
(English, 5:47) |
A clear, rich melody about the beauty of magical normality which is disappearing from our world. Sophisticated vocals and synthesizers. | |
2. Fall (Hungarian, 5:46) |
Strange harmonies, asymmetric rhythms, a slightly psychedelic sound; a song asking “Why are we so insensitive”. | |
3. Wedding Day (English, 7:32) |
A traditional Irish folk ballad about an eerie love, accompanied by strange synthesizer sounds; followed by a duo of electric guitar and synthesized strings, with a touch of classical music. | |
4. Release Me (Hungarian, 5:58) |
A soft song with beautiful, philosophical Hungarian lyrics on how to be released from old memories of love and pain. | |
5. Nemo (Instrumental, 1:59) | Short interlude; rhythmic rock based on a hard riff. | |
6. Novel (Instrumental, 5:48) |
Part One is an infinitely delicate and intricate melody played on guitars; Part Two expands the theme into something resembling late 20th century Baroque music. | |
7. Child of a Guiding Eye
(English, 9:45) |
This is pure progressive music, continuing the tradition of the ‘70s, the golden age of progressive rock. The 5 movements are: | |
– Starlight | Words and music “wide and flowing like ageless gold” | |
– Arise | Lively instrumental part with synthesizer solos | |
– The Poison Garden | A prophecy condemning humanity’s blindness and the destruction of Earth | |
– Starlight (returning) | A reprise of the first part | |
– The Unborn | A voice solo: We need to be once again like children, whose eyes shine freedom like angels of fire. |
