BOOTLEG SYMPHONY

Hungary's foremost progressive rock band was probably always one of the prime candidates for working with a modern orchestra, given that they already use brass instruments within the band. This concert was recorded at the Liszt Fernc Academy Of Music on 2nd October 2000, where they were joined by an orchestra and performed songs that they had especially re- arranged for this format.

Again, they have shown their love of King Crimson, with the one cover being an excerpt of 'The Great Deceiver'. They have pushed progressive rock music right over the boundaries with this release, as this is much more a classical piece of music than rock. The result is that if you enjoy dynamic classical music, then you will like this as much as the fans at the sell-out gig.

After Crying have shown that they can move their music into a more classical area and achieve success.
