Omega are the most popular and long-lived Magyar bands. My favourite phase of their career took place in the second half of the Seventies, when they became a staple of European prog and space rock.
This album in particular is probably their best. It contains two space rock gems such as the title track and "Huszadik századi városlakó", but also shorter hard rock anthems and epic ballads.
It is sealed by a sensational sci-fi artwork, which perfectly represents a band at its creative peak, followed by an international cult (they had many fans in Germany and Poland too).
The line-up has been the same since 1971: János Kóbor (vocals), Tamás Mihály (bass guitar), György Molnár (guitars), Ferenc Debreczeni (drums), László Benkő (keyboards). Sadly, both Mihály and Benkő died in November 2020.
