Entirely unique blend of traditional Hungarian Nepzene music steeped in and reimagined through crisp electronic production with Márta Sebestyén and Szörényi Levente Szerelmeslemez LP. This one follows the Jeles Napok LP that came a year earlier and they're easily mixed up as both carry this incredible nativity style cover, although this one pulls off the marriage of old and new much more successfully. The drum machines and synths are sparse, providing a perfect base for centuries-old folk singing of Sebestyen and dancing flute harmonies resulting in this singular electo-ethno-folk. Its equally familiar and unusual to the western-ear, rarely has a record ticked so many of my own boxes. Highly recommended, increasingly hard to find :(. (Vinyl & Sleeve NM).
