PETőFI FELHő PROJEKT

These Yesterdays tunes were written for a Hungarian songwriting competition, on the 200th anniversary of Petőfi Sándor, who was a famous poet.

The good news is that 3 of the 4 Petőfi songs won a big prize for the band, and there's a bonus track, a previously unreleased song which was composed in the memory of the band's keyboard player Enyedi Zsolt.

Szeretném itthagyni is like a Tears for Fears tune with Chris Squire on bass. So much going on in 3 minutes... 12/8 time signature, half tempo maddness, a fantastic guitar solo and amazing production... And it is worth mentioning: all the instruments were played by Ákos Bogáti-Bokor. Very impressive. The lead vocals of Vanessza Koch is also very beautiful.

Az éj could have been written by Lennon or by Pink Floyd. Such a beautiful ballad with dreamy vocals and a Gilmour- esque slide guitar solo.

Félálomban is a more serious song with great production... A big crescendo. The last chorus is a real ear-worm. Probably my favorite composition on this EP.

Szeptember végén is an early King Crimson inspired tune and there's a vocal intermezzo in it which the vocals are very Yes-like.

The bonus track is A Hold túloldalán. A gentle, calm ending.

I would recommend this EP to any adventurous prog fan who are not afraid of not too stereotipical, shorter songs with amazing vocals and a great production. Hats off mr. Ákos Bogáti-Bokor. Four strong stars.
