Foreword: ...If you really wish to hear some of my best moments with a musical instrument in my hands, check the recently released album "rakBIT" at
C64Audio.com - but still
There were no usual pressing issues while I was working on that. I could capture moments, not just record songs in a haste as it always goes.
So, my tenpack:
Depression pt1. (sid) 1989
Even my first-ever tune put me neck deep in the underground. Redneck zombie dirty sound. That's what I wanted to do and this defined my first decade as a musician. The track is digitalised from an old 2-track audio archive tape (note the warmth) from 1990 or so. This is the sound of my old Beast.
Geister (sid) 1994
Game "Geister" was full of blood and everything that is cool to shoot with or shoot at. Included linear storyline, character development, IRQ loader, level editor, whatsoever. Two test levels had been ready when all the data was destroyed in the developer's housefire. That fire ended my old SID days as well. I consider that period of time to be the peak of my musical creativity and SID torturing skills, many riffs were used in later band projects.
RKH - Kezelheto 1994
The first full-length rock song of mine. This song was written on C64 (check HVSC for curable.sid if you like). RKH was the first band I joined, somewhere around 1993. After releasing two demos and an EP, 2 members left the band so it fell into coma in 1996. Despite the short active 3 years on the road, the attitude of the band influenced many younger musicians around to create some bloody awesome stuff afterwards. In 2006 RKH was re-formed with 2 of them plus the original drummer and me.
Wackor - Lobotomy 2001
Wackor is my active band from 1996. Due to college studies it was in standby mode in its first years. Despite that, the band played lots of gigs between 1996 and 2000 and released a couple of demos. By 2002 we became a working and touring band. It was time to release something stronger. This song opened the sixpack EP that opened a lot of opportunities afterwards. Note my almost lethal accent
NecroPolo - Wright Bros Sandwich 2002
After a couple of years in broadcast production and playing onstage, always doing tight and disciplined stuff, I just had to burn the fuse. I tried to clear my mind from everything I had already known and approach the guitar the other way around that ended to be an under-underground experimental album, called 'PocketGods'.
Wackor - Jinxted Obscene Evolver 2003
By 2003 Wackor was ready to release the first full album: Methanolid. Right in the middle of vocal recording my voice got damaged rather badly so all the work had to be postponed, for 6 months or so. Finally, it was released in 2004 at Holosonic Music. JOE (Jinxted Obscene Evolver - named after a friend) is about evolution. This song quickly became a crowd pealser in concerts. Years after the release, the instrumental version of this song was featured in racing games
Project: Torque and
4x4JAM and became the title tune of Hungarian car TV show called TotalCar. Them guys even invited us to play live in the show where East Block guys torn apart a Mercedes-Benz van in minutes and built in a fully functional kitchen of it in a couple of hours or so, then the ghost of Rudolf Caracciola baked us an apple pie. That was a cool event.
NecroPolo - Alpenmilch 2005
This theme rested in the box for long. My old delay pedal started to die so I bought a DD6 and started experimenting with that (so all you can hear in my rendition of Parallax started there). I hit REC on the fly, tortured the unit and my guitar for approx. 40 minutes.
Wackor - Somebody's Nobody 2006
The second Wackor album called 'Uncommon Ground' delayed for over 2 years. We wanted it out in 2006 but balancing between 50 concerts per year vs private life vs job vs education vs whatever ate us alive. We lost direction, got exhausted. Arthrosis that hit me hard in 2006 and 2007 did not help my creativity, either. But after all the difficulties it was finished and released at Edge Records in December of 2008. "Somebody" is one of the most popular tracks from the album - my fav, too.
RKH - Madach 2009
Lyrics and riffs are from 1996, all were put together in 2009 for the returning album. The man Madach wrote a literature masterpiece in Hungarian, called Tragedy of Mankind, based on the Bible story of creation, but from a very special point of view. This song is our tribute to him, also will be included in the 2010 RKH album, hopefully released somewhere in February.
Cadmium preview (sid) 2010
In the summer of 2009 I started to create SIDs again. This is one of the new ones, the nastiest of the bunch. Belongs to a certain stuff that hasn't been released yet. Can't tell more
Although band recordings are copyrighted material, don't worry: these actual tracks are free to download by default.
