Foam On A Wave (FOAW002)

1x Vinyl LP Album Limited Edition Reissue Remastered Stereo

Release date: Jan 1, 2022, UK

Foam On A Wave is proud to present the first international issue of this chameleonic, shapeshifting record, from one of Hungary’s most prolific musician and film composers, János Másik. At times it calls to mind 23 Skidoo, Talking Heads and The Pop Group, at others it sits in its own corner of the room.

1989 was a revolutionary year. For many in the West the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the Autumn of Nations; the End of History and the triumph of progress. In Hungary, the year saw the Round Table Talks establish a new multi-party democracy and the effective end of communist rule after 40 years – Rendszerváltás; ‘regime change’.

It’s hard to ignore these cataclysms while listening to Trance Balance. After all, its initial release was on Hungaropop, ‘one of the first privately owned, independent labels launched after the liberalization of the market in Warsaw Pact-era Hungary’ (we highly recommend delving further into their remarkable catalogue). Is music always an expression of the shifting political landscape? Or does it exist beyond it?
