REVIEW:
Overground Music is a very special piece of art indeed, is has been one of the closest music I have heard that reminds me of a metaphor used by painters to describe when this sort of invaluable art are brought to this world. This album certainly has been done like if their creators “grabbed the pencil in the middle” to me (the metaphor means that the balance between the subconscious feeling and the technique will reveal its true meaning on expression).
After Crying just did an incredible unbelievable virtuous album but at the same time with the passion that it needed to be colored.
This record opened unconsciously the path for me through arts, and somehow awakened a part of me that gave me the chance to understand and discover the art of playing the piano from inside-out.
Confess Your Beauty instrumental section is a masterpiece that has transcended the idea of a solo section in a song for me... behind the inspiration for that section is were relies the mysterious ingenious and intellect of men...some fantastic achievements like this one gives a certain meaning to our existence.
Listening to this album when I was a kid was when the journey really began. It might work as well for others and I hope it does. Many records have awakened the “ears of my ears”, and the “eyes of my eyes”; but this was the first one that helped that to happen. I really believe that albums like this one teaches us the most valuable things in life.

After Crying - Megalazottak Es Megszomoritottak
Otra gran obra de arte del rock sinfónico moderno en manos de After Crying; el título hungaro traducido significa "The insulted and the injured" que hace referencia a la novela de Fyodor Dostoevsky(publicada en 1861).
Fue mi segunda conexión al mundo de la música en su sentido mas puro; he compartido "Overground Music" en el blog de esta banda, que fue el disco que abrió mi tercer ojo a los sonidos; y este fue el segundo destino en los principios de mi viaje en el mundo del a música.
Su primer disco fue lanzado en 1990 fue enteramente en idioma Ingles; despues de dos años decidieron grabar Megalazottak en Hungaro, que realmente le dio un toque de originalidad aunque infelizmente hizo el disco fuera menos accesible, me hubiese gustado entender las letras ya que parecen entregar buen cantidad de misterio al disco.
El disco arranca con la épica obra maestra de 22 minutos de duración "A Gadarai Megszállott", que es una de las interpretaciones mas interesantes de la fusión del jazz de la época de Miles Davis con King Crimson/Zappa y el Rock Sinfónico Italiano con el resplandor clásico de la música Europea con la unión de Bartók junto a Ravel entregada por estos músicos Hungaros. En esta canción siento que una vez mas After Crying logró entrar en la cuarta dimensión de los sonidos.
El disco tiene algunas cuantas sorpresas, las líneas de cello y violin son muy memorables y al principio las partes más extrañas del disco parecieran no encajar, pero al escuchar el disco algunas veces más uno se encuentra que encajan perfectamente asi que aunque considero el disco una obra maestra tambien lo encuentro desafiante para el que lo escucha.
Espero que el disco logre abrir puertas a los que lo escuchen y encuentren lo oculto detrás de los instrumentos y el ingenio de los músicos que se alimentaron de los sonidos para crear discos como este.

ANECDOTE:
Overground Music got in my hands accidentally 6 years ago when I was looking for an album from ELP (Emerson Lake And Palmer) called “Brain Salad Surgery” I paid ELP's album in advance and never saw the cover so when I went to the store to get the album the guy wasn’t there and his brother that was replacing him had no idea who ELP was, he grabbed an album that had a “A la Keith Emerson” postick and he gave it to me thinking it was Brain Salad. I argued with the guy that the CD wasn’t from ELP since they were obviously not from Hungary and at the time I didn’t even know that Hungarians made progressive music (I was 17 years old). Since my disc wasn’t there I asked if he could play some of the music from this “A la keith emerson” Hungarian album…the music hypnotized me, I then decided to buy this album. I got home and inserted the disc on the music system and was amazed when I heard “Confess your beauty” solo, the vocals sounded weird at the beginning though, and it’s the only thing that took some time for me to get into.
