Omega: Skyrover (LP)

(MIG Records) 9 tracks

After four studio albums and one compilation, the Hungarian top stars Omega were still only an insider tip in the West. However, an upward trend in sales figures was recognizable, even if the sales were far from going through the roof. In addition, the band had developed, had become more professional live and in their appearance. The people in charge at Bacillus/Bellaphon therefore wanted to keep Omega at all costs and in 1976 they extended the contract with the quintet
until 1980. And the band moved with Peter Hauke to the Europasound Studios in Offenbach and recorded “Time Robber” there. The LP was Omega's breakthrough in the West. To date, the album is said to have sold around two million copies. And this success was no coincidence, as the Hungarians delivered a complex, self-contained work for the first time. Big bets were placed on “Skyrover”. Once again, Omega moved to Offenbach and produced an exquisite successor to “Time Robber”
, which was in no way inferior to its immensely successful predecessor. Quite a few Omega fans even consider “Skyrover” to be the better record, as it elegantly blends the sometimes somewhat stiff juxtaposition of styles on “Time Robber”. “Russian Winter” became a live classic – titled “Lena” on the Hungarian LP version. The song stood out from the musical concept with its Eastern European folk influences and
probably became a fan favorite precisely because of that.

Omega

OMEGA aus Budapest waren in ihrer Heimat spätestens mit ihrem 1969er-Megahit Gyöngyhajú lány (Mädchen mit dem Perlenhaar), zur Nummer Eins des ungarischen Rock aufgestiegen. Bis heute hat der Titel zahlreiche Musiker zu Coverversionen inspiriert: von Frank Schöbels deutscher Version Schreib es mir in den Sand bis hin zu den Scorpions (White Dove) und Kanye West, der wegen der Verwendung von Samples aus dem Originalsong 2016 von Komponist und Keyboarder Gábor Presser verklagt wurde. Als Presser 1971 die Band verließ und mit Locomotiv GT seine eigene, überaus erfolgreiche Gruppe formierte, sahen viele das Ende von OMEGA gekommen, was sich schnell als Irrtum erwies…
