Cool website. They even have Laszlo Benko's solo albums and The Hobo Blues Band.

I went to CD Pince today. Thanks for the tip; I would never have been able to find it on my own, it being in the basement of some alley and all... ;) Unfortunately for me, they didn't have the Gazpacho album. I could order it but it would take two weeks. So I asked a friend from the Netherlands, who will come over in a few days, if he could bring me the album, since it will be faster that way ;)

Köszönöm szépen for the answers Clap

The use is obvious: Hungary has great rock culture (Omega, Locomotiv GT, After Crying, Solaris, Kormoran, Koral, Edda, Scorpio to name a few), if you understand the language it's a good bonus.

By the way, perhaps the best store in Budapest with Hungarian music is on Kiraly utca, 108: http://www.rockdiszkont.hu/. Lots of CDs and music DVDs, and they are cheaper than in most other stores.

Magyarul? Csak egy kicsit :) I am here for my Master thesis and I have been doing a simple language course in Hungarian, but it covered only the very basics. I would like to learn more though because the language is very interesting I think. On the other hand: I will return to the Netherlands in February, and let's be fair: what use will it have to be able to speak Hungarian over there? :)

Thanks for the tip regarding the DVD; I will surely check it out!!

I hope you manage to buy that awesome album. I've already ordered their new DVD which contains almost the entire Night.

By the way, do you understand or speak Hungarian?
yeah

Hi Diaby,

Thanks for the quick response and the detailed directions! I checked the website and "Night" is listed in their catalog, so I might be lucky Wink I will check it out tomorrow!

Hi Elroy,

I don't know about any store where you could by Night in Budapest, but if you're looking for a shop where you can find lots of good prog albums, choose CD Pince (http://cdpince.hu). It can easily be reached with tram lines 4 and 6 (address: 1073 Budapest, district VII.,  Erzsébet krt. 37.), you have to get off either at the station Wesselényi utca or Király utca. The shop is somewhere in the street between the to stations.

If you arrive from the South, it's on the right side, if from the North, on the left.

Good luck and have a great time in Budapest!Hug

Hi all,

I am currently living in Budapest for a couple of months, and I would like to know where I can find a decent record store. I am planning on buying Gazpacho's "Night" as a Christmas present for my friend. Does anybody know where I can pick it up?

Thanks in advance for your help! I greatly appreciate it Smile

Elroy

P.S.: I hope I'm not creating a duplicate topic here; I searched the site but found nothing about my question...
