Omega - Time Robber

Review by Diego Lírio

Time Robber, the latest album from Hungarian rock band Omega, is a captivating and ambitious work that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. The album features a diverse range of styles and influences, from hard-hitting rock anthems to dreamy ballads and experimental electronic tracks.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Time Robber," a haunting and cinematic piece with a powerful vocal performance from singer János Kóbor. The song builds to a climactic crescendo, driven by the band's tight rhythm section and intricate guitar work.

Another highlight is "The Lost Prophet," which features a driving, propulsive rhythm and dynamic vocal harmonies. The song's lyrics are thought-provoking and introspective, exploring themes of identity and self-discovery.

Throughout the album, Omega demonstrates a keen sense of musicality and a willingness to take risks and experiment with different sounds and styles. From the soaring guitar solos on "The Lost Prophet" to the electronic textures of "Abyss," the band shows a willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territory.

Formed in Budapest, Hungary, in September 1962 by the winds player László Benkő on organ and János Kóbor as a singer and rhythm guitarist, they initially performed covers of British and American rock songs, frequently changing the lineup of members. In 1967 Tamás Mihály came on bass, Gábor Presser joined on keyboards and began writing original music for the band (in 1968 György Molnár became a lead guitarist), contributing to the release of three LPs before leaving the band with József Laux, a drummer from 1962, to form Locomotiv GT in spring 1971. These first albums were heavily influenced by the music of The Beatles and psychedelic rock, but they also looked forward to the band's future more hard rock, then progressive and space-rock styles. After Presser and Laux's departure, the band found a new drummer (Ferenc Debreceni (later as Debreczeni) came from group Neoton) and appointed Benkő as the main keyboardsman, in August 1971 creating the current lineup, which has remained the same for over 30 years: János Kóbor ("Mecky"), lead vocals György Molnár ("Elefánt"), guitars László Benkő ("Laci"), keyboards, vocals Tamás Mihály ("Misi"), bass, vocals Ferenc Debreceni ("Ciki"), drums László Benkő died on 18 November 2020, after a long illness. Tamás Mihály died three days later, on 21 November 2020. János Kóbor died on 6 December 2021. Two days later their management declared "that with the death of János Kóbor, the story of Omega came to an end. The band will no longer perform under the name Omega". This lineup of Omega released ten more albums from 1972 to 1987. Many of these were released both in Hungarian and in English, in the hopes of generating wider interest in their music. However, the contents of the English albums often differed from their Hungarian counterparts, sometimes assembling tracks from several different albums and nearly always changing the song order. Following a few years of inactivity, the band reunited in 1994, with former member Gábor Presser joining them at concerts and contributing several tracks to 1995's Trans And Dance. Omega has achieved great international success through releases in multiple languages, and tours in England and Germany in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Their 1969 song "Gyöngyhajú lány" became an international hit, and was later covered by Griva on their 1987 self-titled album, with the title "Devojka biserne kose

동양적인 사운드. 그래서 한국의 나도 좋아하는 밴드. 여전히 최고의 프로그레시브 걸작 중 하나. ㅡkorea

I love these English versions but listen to it in Hungarian has its own special magic, even if I don't understand a comma...
