The debut album from this artist from Norway.
Eddy Zoltan Kiss played the organ, piano and mellotron.
He got help from some guests who provided drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
Eddy Zoltan was a Hungarian artist who had fled the oppressive regime in then the Sovietunion occupied Hungary and settled in Norway. One of pretty many Hungarian refugees who made Norway into their homeland. That to the benefit of Norway and the Norwegian society as a lot of these regugees was both smart and artistic.
Eddy Zoltan released two albums and I got both of them for reviews. The second one will follow in some days time.
This album was pretty heavy promoted but still did not sell well. It has just been re-released through the NAK series with the hope that it will sell some more copies and get the attention it deserves.
The music is a mix of Norwegian folk music, 1970s rock, musicals like pop and progressive rock. Procol Harum and Traffic is a good reference.
The vocals are in Norwegian and pretty good. Ditto for the organs and the mellotrons.
I had no expectations whatsoever to this album and became pretty positive surprised. The quality is actually decent and there are some good instrumental parts here.
This is a very obscure band but well worth checking out.
