Overview
Taking the Wheel represents a fascinating chapter in the evolution of EAST, one of Hungary's most internationally respected progressive rock outfits. Released in 1992, this album sees the band pivoting toward a high-production, English-language sound that blends their symphonic roots with early 90s AOR and sophisticated rock sensibilities. With lyrics by Duncan Shiels, the album was a clear bid for international reach. This specific copy is an exceptional find for collectors, as the cover bears the authentic autographs of the legendary lineup, including bass player/art director Péter Móczán and vocalist Tamás Takáts.
Hungarian Translation – Áttekintés
A Taking the Wheel az EAST, Magyarország egyik nemzetközileg is legelismertebb progresszív rockzenekarának izgalmas állomása. Az 1992-ben megjelent album a zenekar stílusváltását tükrözi: a szimfonikus gyökereket a 90-es évek elejére jellemző, magas színvonalon hangszerelt AOR és igényes rock hangzással ötvözték. Az angol nyelvű dalok és Duncan Shiels szövegei a nemzetközi piacot célozták meg. Ez a példány igazi gyűjtői csemege, hiszen a borítón a legendás felállás tagjainak – többek között Móczán Péter és Takáts Tamás – eredeti aláírásai láthatóak.
