SZÉTTÖRT ÁLMOK

In 1974, the band leader Zsolt Baronits had to reform the band again. First, the sax phenomena Mihaly Raduly went into New York, in the Berkeley Music School . Miklos Orszaczky stepped out in end of 1973 and settled down in Australia in the next year. Laszlo Pataki, who was the musical brain of the Syrius, emmigrated in Austria, Wien. Just the drummer remained. New pianist , new vocalist, bassist and a complete reed section (sax, trumpet, trombone) joined to the band. In 1975 Tibor Tatrai guitarist came in, who was until brief time in the band in 72- 73. This album is achievement of the strong compromises. They had to give up the progressive ambitions, in exchange this album could release. This album contains american type brass rock, in vein of Chicago, BS & T. The quality of the songs very mixed. We can find four average funky injected pop jazz numbers (track 1,2,5,7), two cheesy, bland ballad : "Mint aprilis" and "Szep arcu idegen". Three outstanding tracks : "A Laz", "Kinyujtom Kezem" and "Igen, Szep Volt" have same structure : colourful arrangements with relative long jazzy fender rhodes and bluesish guitar solos. The trumpet solos by Rudolf Tomsits are gorgeus. These songs are reminiscent of the classic Syrius, but only vaguely. The Syrius disbanded, after two years agonizing, in 1978.
