MIG Music Release Information

Taking the successful LP “Time Robber” as Omega’s new quality standard, “Gammapolis” could compete easily and became their most sold album in Hungary. The compositions of the group around the singer János Kóbor had become more melancholic, the bittersweet melodies mellifluous. This was especially true for the seven-minute opener “Dawn In The City” (“Hajnal a város felett”), the title song “Gammapolis”, and “Silver Rain” (“Ezüst eső”).

The live album “Live at Kisstadion” (1979) has been legendary. There may be concert documents from Omega that radiate more rock’n’roll, probably there are also a few recordings with better sound. But “Élő Kisstadion ’79” / “Live at the Kisstadion” is still at the top of the fan list today: The song selection is excellent, the performance gigantic, the atmosphere at Budapest’s Kisstadion on September 8 and 9, 1979 sensational – and Omega were at the absolute peak of their popularity in their homeland after the best seller “Gammapolis”.

Bacillus/Bellaphon did not want to miss this major event and released the magnificently designed double album titled “Live at the Kisstadion” in the same year to the German market.
