      (2022) Omega - 200 Years After the Last War & The Hall of Floaters in the Sky  





Review:

The most successful Hungarian rock band in history, Omega was formed in 1962 in Budapest by a group of friends. They have released more than 20 albums both in Hungarian and English. After several early personnel changes, their classic lineup came together in 1971 and was intact for more than forty years. 200 Years After the Last War (1974) only shares the title track, a metaphoric piece about birth control in a totalitarian system, with the original legendary banned Hungarian version „200 évvel az utolsó háború után“. The almost 20-minute “suite” on side A, originally released on OMEGA 5 in 1973, combines various influences from which the Hungarians developed their own style at the time: Blues, early Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. The Hall of Floaters in the Sky (1975) displays a similarly bizarre cover as 200 Years After the Last War, one reason why it counts among one of the exceptional releases of the group. Having produced the last three records at the Dierks Studios, this time they turned to the Chipping Norton Studios in England, and came back with an acoustic hybrid of Focus, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Sparks and Cockney Rebel. The sound was drier than before, the guitars were crisper, the keyboards more dominant. The orchestral arrangements gave the entire album a touch of space rock. — mig-music.de
