Solaris is a progressive rock band from Hungary.
Established in 1980, the band went through several formations. Their
music has a strong melodic content, often laced with Eastern European
themes, and is highlighted by the use of dynamics and extended thematic
development. There is a great deal of interplay among the lead
instruments of flute, guitar and keyboard which is used regularly to
develop their themes. The emphasis is not on providing solo spots for
the various instruments, but rather in employing those instruments
within the context of the development of the individual piece.
The band's name is a reference to the Stanislaw Lem sci-fi novel,
Solaris. The first album's title is a reference to The Martian
Chronicles. The members have said that they were influenced by these -
and other - sci-fi books.
The majority of Solaris' songs are instrumentals. The first track on
their first LP, Marsbeli Kronikak, is an exception, with a few lines
spoken over the music. The pitch-shifting, distortion, and album's theme
have led many listeners to assume that the voiceover is in a putative
Martian language, but it's actually in Hungarian: "Megrepedt tukrok
(Cracked mirrors) / Kormos acelfalak (Sooty steel walls) / Halott
szemethegyek (Dead piles of garbage) / Es szennyes tavak (And polluted
lakes) / Azt mondod, itt elt valaha az ember? (Do you say mankind used
to live here?)". "Egeszseges Optimizmus" (Healthy Optimism) from the
SOLARIS 1990 LP also has an introductory voiceover in Hungarian, and
chanting in Latin appears in several tracks on the album Nostradamus:
Profeciak konyve.
Note: "Unborn Visions" is only printed on the cover, not on the spine,
so not added to the album title. Side A kept uncut, as it is one
composition continuing on B1. This also meant omitting the years from
the titles, and for consistency's sake these were left out from all
tracks.
