Depeche Mode-First concert in Hungary, Budapest 23.07.1985. (rare bootleg)

I'm not a big Depeche Mode fan, but i don't want to lie, their early LPs are very good new wave stuffs!

English synthpop band came to Hungary first in summer 1985. It was the Some Great Reward world tour. They didn't want to came to Budapest, they want to go to East-Berlin, but the eastgermans didn't allowed their concert in GDR.

At this time, their were no a big and fanatic Hungarian fans, therefore the bandmembers were a a very immediate with Hungarian youths.

Depeche Mode played in "Volán-pálya", they spent one day in Budapest, and they lived in Hotel Hyatt. After 1985, Depeche Mode came again to Budapest just in 1988.

This rare bootleg is good, the tones is good quality! Enjoy!

East-Berlin, GDR, 1982

KFT-Üzenet a Liftből/Fodrász LP 1983

Early KFT was a very good new wave band, their first 2 LPs are absolutely good new wave stuffs. KFT founded in 1981, and the band played on "TOP SONG FESTIVAL 1981" with the song : "BÁBU VAGY" called in English: "You are the puppet". This song became a very popular new wave song in Hungary in early 80s. In 1981-1982 the band used make up, therefore they looked like a crazy punkband.

Lot of Hungarian new wave band didn't released any recording during the 80s, but the KFT is yes! Their first LP called "Macska Az Úton" ( Cat on the street), became a very unusual Lp in early 80s Hungary. When lot of Hungarian rock bands singing about teenage life-feelings e.g. "I was your kid" or "I leave the town", the KFT have puritan, simple topics and lyrics like "Tea", "House plant", "Greetings from Budapest".

In 1983, the band released their second LP called "Üzenet a Liftből/Fodrász" (Message from the lift/ The barber).

Maybe this LP became better than the first! More new wave synthpop stuffs, and more post-punk tones! Songs like "Fodrász" similar to Neue Deutsche Welle style with cool synth effects.

Song "Üzenet a liftből" like a cool The Police influenced "white reggae" with a good guitar solo. Song "Valami mocorog " also similar to one of Police song from Regatta De Blanc.

But You can listen some post-punk songs too like : "Milyen kegyetlen a szerelem" and "Állatkert".

This record stay fresh todays too, if you listen this LP, you don't feel old 80s feelings.

Enjoy!

Tracklist:

01.Milyen Kegyetlen Egy Szerelem (How the cruel the love) 02.Állatkert (Zoo) 03.Aki Bújt, Aki Nem ( 04.Üzenet A Liftből (Message from the lift) 05.Valami Mocorog (Something stirring) 06.A Fodrász (The barber) 07.A Pénztárcámat (My purse) 08.A Lány, Aki Nincs (The girl who was not) 09.A Tükör (The mirror) 10.Indul A Hinta (The swing is starting) Link:http://www.mediafire.com/?nplg22u4golhgda

Első Emelet-1. 1984

They was very commercial and very mainstream, but their first LP was a cool commerical Hungarian new wave/pop stuff.

Első Emelet (meaning: First Floor) started in 1982 with another music and members. The band was a very popular Hungarian band between 1984-1990. In early period they played punk influenced music but after one year they changed and they started a pop/synth/new wave influenced music. In 1983 they released first 7" (called: "Noteszember/Amerika"-

Paperboy/America) with another singer. In 1983, they changed the singer and they released their first LP in 1984.

What my opinion about the LP?

This LP still cool and funny, there are 12 synthpop and Kajagoogoo and Duran Duran influenced songs with funny and idiot lyrics. The image of the band was totally gay, like the Kajagoogoo...

After the first LP they became a more popular and more commercial, and their lyrics became more idiot... I don't like their late period, but this LP is cool!
The lot of songs speak about a typical teenage things or desires, and some songs just funnies.

E.g. lyrics of song "Amerika":

"This is the place

Where everything sale

This is the country

Where you can get everything

This is the place where you can buy the happiness for dollars!

Chorus: The commercial is shout me:

"YOU CAN GET IT!"

The commercial is shout me,

and i go to the shop,

it doesn't matter how much is it,

let mine be only!...."

Tracklist:

01.Önarckép (Self-Portrait)

02.Dadogós break (Stammering break)

03.Sivatag (Desert)

04.Nézelődünk (We looking)

05.Rémálom (Nightmare)

06.Vannak dolgok (Some things)

07.A dolgok közepében (In the middle of the things)

08.Óvatosan lépkedj (Walk carefully)

09.Tilalomfák (Prohibition things)

10.Középkori házibuli (Middle-aged Party)

11.Benő

12.Amerika (America)
