Release 1994
For me by far the musically best band from hungary in the 60s and 70s.
In the late 60s and early 70s they played kind of progressive jazz rock with influences
from bands like SOFT MACHINE and BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS.
Founded by sax player Baronits Zsolt already in the early 60s, after some line up changes
they became progressive in the late 60s.
They moved to Australia in the early 70s, where they recorded this their first album - released
Down Under in 1971 and one year later in Hungary.
For autralian TV they recorded: Strawberry Fields forever (Beatles) released on GTK Tapes Vol2.
Orszaczky who was a member since 1968 left them in 1973 to stay in Australia - recording
till today. The others went back to hungary where they recorded a 2nd album SZETTOERT ALMOK
(Broken Dreams) released 1976 as pepita SLPX17491.
By this recording only ZSOLT BARONITS and ANDRAS VESZELINOV from the original group
has remained and the sound was more funky now.
