This podcast is for my parents, Almos and Maria Kovacs.
The Hungarian Revolution took place 50 years ago, starting on 23 October 1956. On 4 November the Soviet army moved in to suppress it brutally. My parents left their native country, amongst more than 200,000 refugees. Read the history in the excellent Wikipedia entry. All the music is by Hungarian artists:
Ethnosonic - White Dressed Tears
Eszter Bartok - Felhomalybol
Virag Keszthelyi - The Call (Zoohacker mix) - also visit lushlife project, click on downloads then dj sets
East - 56 - I can't find a website for East, but thanks to Peter from tomtom records for permission to play this song, around which the podcast is built.
Ethnosonic - Traveller
Soundbed music by the excellently named Gabor 13 (or try his myspace page)who is from the beautiful city of Pecs in Hungary and by Vayder X (as an update on what I had previously said in this post, although American,Vayder X have strong Hungarian connections. I'll post an extract from an e-mail on the comments board.)
The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.
