Quote: Omega's second album to feature previously recorded songs
in the Hungarian language on the Bellaphon label.
A good introduction to the more progressive-rock sounding era
of their long career (42 years and counting!) featuring everything
from mellotrons, moog synthesisers and a 20 minute show piece which
features sevral sections beginning with a moody opening building up
to a bluesy center section with all kinds of drum and guitar fills a
nd back to a moody ending. Side two contains three very different
tracks which demonstrates different approaches this band took with
their early seventies music from the synthesiser dominated Help To find Me
to the heavier You Don't Know whose organ intro could easily be mistaken
for a Deep Purple riff. The title track is very folky and is
very reminicient of the earlier music they recorded in the late 60's.
The only drawback, as on just about every English-language Omega album,
is the sometimes very poor english text and hard to understand lyrics.
Otherwise an excellent example of early 1970's progressive rock.
