Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1990, Hungary


Debuut album van deze Hongaarse Prog formatie.
Vrij complexe muziek met vele invloeden zoals klassiek, folk ,jazz ; gitaar en drums ontbreken.



Very important band from the rich Hungarian prog scene which makes a very complex and moody music. There is a huge variety in their music among their discography. Some albums are very dark, yet beautiful, with a calm atmosphere provided by cellos and violins among moody keyboards and guitars. Other albums hold a more consistent sound where you"ll find ELP influences (mainly on the Hammond passages).

Really original ! "De Profundis" always offers a refined blend of classical and folk, but the singing and some light pop accents (use of drums) evoke FLAIRCK. This is classical chamber rock, delicate and peaceful. Definitely a must in any prog rock collection. 


AFTER CRYING is a band of classically educated musicians that play an excellent quality symphonic progressive rock and IMO do it with a good sense of humor. Overground Music, their debut and perhaps the best album is notable by the absence of traditional rock instruments such as guitars and drums. The voice (male) sometimes sounds in a dissonance with what musicians play and it amuses much. It feels like a vagrant singer met the chamber orchestra and said: OK guys you"re gonna play your things and I gonna sing, well..., something. And it works! Shining is the most beautiful and reminds HACKETT"s Shadow of the Hierophant. Highly recommended, especially for prog purists!
