OMEGA REDSTAR/TROMBITÁS FRÉDI ÉS A RETTENETES EMBEREK LPX 17390 (-68) MONO HUNGARY


 Budapest band first existing 1962-87, then reformed 1994. By far the most successful Hungarian outfit. Not only popular in East Europe, but also embraced by lovers of psych and prog in many other countries. Eventually they would turn to space rock and electronic, but this debute (eng. "Freddie The Trumpeter And The Terrible People") is very much psych rock and prog with some folky elements. Very well conveyed by this excellent sounding mono press with flute, organ, trumpet, strings, keyboards and lots of fuzz guitars. I also get some rythmic gaming and odd vocals. So a quite complicated concept and lyrics in Hungarian doesn't make it easier to comprehend. Maybe not the most enjoyable first listen for the fainthearted who doesn't understand the language, but if you're into this kind of music and look for something out of the ordinary it's certainly worth a spin. Full album below. To my knowledge this was only legally issued in Hungary. 2022 CD on Grund Records (GO 03) came with three bonus tracks. First vinyl (also as stereo SLPX 17390) had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover.  (BÅC*)
