Compositionally and conceptually Tamas Katai's best, production-wise his absolute worst. These majestic compositions are in dire need of a remaster- this would leap up in my esteem at that point, possibly even into the 11/10 leagues.

I'm still waiting for the day I hear a bad Thy Catafalque album. I've almost finished their entire discography, and it's all gems. And they're not just good records, they're masterpieces.

it physically hurt me to vote for traditional folk music on this but until this site decides to add regional metagenres (which are sorely needed) it's the only option for the strong hungarian folk influence present all over this discography
