Locomotiv GT (album)
''Locomotiv GT'' is the debut album of Hungarian rock group Locomotiv GT, released in December 1971. Compared to other Hungarian music albums of the time, the sound of ''Locomotiv GT'' was heavier (most reminiscent of '' Éjszakai országút'', released by Omega in 1970), and with the exception of "Ezüst nyár", the album lacked so-called hits. That was the result of a conscious decision made by the group; they intended to play high-quality rock music reminiscent of contemporary English and American groups. Unlike albums released by LGT in the second half of the 1970s, the instrumentation of ''Locomotiv GT'' is somewhat simple, the saxophone being the only "exotic" instrument. The music is built around the virtuoso guitar playing of Barta, and the masterful organ playing of Presser; in addition, Frenreisz plays his bass more powerfully than most of his Hungarian peers, and the drumming of Laux is also worth to mention. The style of the songs does not really fit in with the typical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
