(ALBUM) A szavakon túl (2009)

by Tabula Smaragdina

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Hungarian rock has a long and glorious tradition, reaching back to the last two decades of communism. It was very popular in the German Democratic Republic then, and some bands like "Omega", for instance, even found lots of fans in the Federal Republic of Germany. "Tabula Smaragdina" clearly draws on this valuable heritage with their complex polyphonic song creations, studded with splendid vintage keyboard arrangements. Favorite track: A szavakon innen.

about

YESTERDAYS RELATED ALBUM from 2009.

The CD is the original pressing/audio, the digital version is the audiophile dynamic remaster from 2016!

Progressive Rock from Hungary, following the roots (Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Pink Floyd). Vintage instruments, beautiful melodies, lyrics in hungarian.

Their music embraces the influences of the 70's with lush keyboards and complex passages, with a unique sound that combines the spirit of their country and a fascination for beautiful acoustic melodies, in other words, a new sound that respects the legacy of the Symphonic pioneers.

The story of TABULA SMARAGDINA goes back to 1998, when the Krivánsk Daniel (keyboards) and the guitar player Bogati-Bokor Akos met in the University campus, they soon became friends and started to share ideas about music, but it's not until 2002 when with the drummer Zsigo Lázlo and the bassist Turi Tamás they complete the rhythm section and the line-up of AMETHYST is completed.

2004 was an important year for the band, they win the Félsziget Fesztivál 2004 and start to write their own material. But something happened, Bogati-Bokor Akos takes a sabbatical from AMETHYST to work almost exclusively with the excellent band YESTERDAYS (Already in Prog Archives).while Zsigo Lázlo and Krivánsk Daniel form a band called MORTEM and TURI TAMAS works on several projects.

After a while they decide to give the next step but suffer the departure of TAMAS, who due to health reasons couldn't stay as an active member of the band even when still a great friend of the group with whom he started. So as a trio (with Akos playing the bass and their good friend Tamás playing one track) recorded their debut album A Szavakon Túl (Beyond Words), but the musicians decided to re-baptize the band as TABULA SMARAGDINA (The Emerald Tablet).

Insolubilia

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
