"It may sound like it contains obscure folk songs or pieces from a musical or rock opera, but don't be deceived: all of its tunes were composed in 2003." "NOX was the name of an ancient goddess who was believed to be the queen of the night. On the first album of Nox, the infinitely rich tunes and lyrics of Hungarian folk music are blended with the electronic music of the third millennium. This is how we build a bridge between the ancient Hungarian pentatonic scale with the world of contemporary music. The front man of the band is the acclaimed Nagy Tamás who is considered to be one of the greatest talents in Hungarian folk dancing. The lady by his side, Péter Szabó Szilvia, has an exceptionally beautiful voice; she was discovered by the producer. Now she has a great chance to prove her talent as a singer in the band. The creative team behind the band has paid special attention to giving Nox a unique image that stands out in the world of Hungarian pop music. Nox is now well-known around the country. In the autumn of 2003, their second album 'Magic Spell' came out in Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia at the same time. It was a real step forward without compromising the band's sound, and it featured the band's own songs rather than cover versions. It may sound like it contains obscure folk songs or pieces from a musical or rock opera, but don't be deceived: all of its tunes were composed in 2003. The musical style did not change, essentially, but it has become more complex. Traditional and contemporary instruments are superbly blended and while,
the lyrics leave behind the simple world of folk songs, they retained
their poetic touch |

The Singer The lady opposite goes by the name of Peter, and from the picture
it looks a bit like she's losing some of her hair up top (very much
like my father, her namesake). But don't fret, she won't need to go
down the route of rugby player Austin Healy. Peter is a cracking lass,
who wears her skintight leather shorts with startling confidence. Growing
up in a small village, she has something of the barn about her. |

The Past After a brief dalliance with Eurovision
in the 1990's, 2005 hails a welcome return for Hungary. Ginger curled
Charlie put a lot of people off wanting them back after 1998, but time
is a great healer, and with many cheap airlines flying into Budapest for
fun, we can cheer on Hungary and still have change for a plate of perch
in a paprika stew. |

The Song Gestures - 40 Foot
slapping largely dominates here, and although with occasional jumping
and hand clapping, there is relatively little movement from our lovely
ice maiden who prefers to jut out her groin in tight back pants. All sorts
of traditional dancers in this video (including the usual Hasidic Jews,
a group of professional dancers who are always a tremendous boost for
a song's chances). Bronze medal for gestures. |
