               HUNGARY - QUALITON - 17414

Final Collection keeper!

This 1970 ORIGINAL has always been hard to find, the LP is perhaps thee highlight in the long career of OMEGA.

The LP translating to Night Highway" is consistently good, fairly hard prog rock on the whole; Self composed cuts formed with inventive moves, including guitar & distortion unit effects mixing with churning organ .The use of some flute also added a nice progressive variant to their sound. The material on Éjszakai Országút is far darker than on their previous two LP's , containing more hard rock elements (and the lyrics were also darker.)

Overall, this is a sought (for good reason) "killer" rated LP of the sort with the bulk sounding so good: lean, distorted guitar, reverbed roomy drums, and tons of atmosphere. The raw primitive production on all the early Omega records add to the substratosphere; roomy, layered but sparse, and buzzing with analog saturated tube glow.

Even the gatefold cover artwork unveils a rather appealing if not stunning in its gold leaf colors via darkly intricate artwork, beautiful design by contemporary painter Endre Szasz.

This is the third Hungarian album by Omega who were soon after this Lp to join up the ranks of the "Krautrock" scene, issuing famous Pink Floyd styled heavenly mellotron/prog gems such as, "200 Years After The Last War", "Time Robber" etc.
