Solaris –
Marsbéli krónikák
(Hungary , 1984, progressive rock / symphonic prog)
Who’s that kid laughing at the beginning? One of the telepathic Martians trying to keep the Earthling away? Gloating about its superiority? This album is a synthetic symphonic exploration of
The Martian Chronicles. There are many humorous moments in the book, and I think that levity is captured conceptually in the playful synths and flutes. Overall, there is a stronger sense of adventure in the music than actually exists in the novel.
