After Crying - De Profundis (1996)

The fourth album from this band from Hungary.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, cello, synths, keyboards, flute, trumpet, spoken words and vocals.

Numerous guests added woodwinds, strings, poem recitation and Gregorian chants.

There are some albums who straddle the eclectic prog, symphonic prog and neo-classical music genres. This album is one of those albums. Not surprisingly, it comes from this band from Hungary. 

Their first three albums gave us some really leftfield eclectic albums. It is being topped in eclectic excesses by this album, De Profundis.

This album is seventy-five minutes long. Not much of this album is rock and progressive rock orientated. Most of it is eclectic classical singing and neo-classical music. There are indeed also some avant-garde new age music here too.

It is really hard to penetrate this album and to really get something meaningful from it. Some of the music here is decent and some is good.

This album is for those who really revel in eclectic music and who want something different from the European and Anglo-American music. This album is also one for those who want a challenge. Due to it being so eclectic, I would regard this album as a cult album too. Check it out.
