Largely and notably influenced by bands such as Yes, Genesis, Steve Hackett, Jethro Tull & Gentle Giant but also showing textures that brings us to Solaris or other Hungarian prog outfits, Holdfenykert is an album where the band is capable of showing that they not only master the ability to transpose all those references to their music, but they do it in a most personal way, adding value to the result.
This is an album that touch all the right buttons for the vintage prog lovers, as the band explores the symphonic meadows with confidence, showing an interesting interplay, a very good use of the flute (though only occasional), a very jazzy rhythmic section, an enjoyable duet of voices that, though not something special, are competent. The guitars, both electric and acoustic, are always well placed as the other instruments, showing a good understanding of the band in combining the various elements to construct a solid piece of music, filled in little details and surprises. The symphonic styling is sometimes similar to that of early Steve Hackett, but Yes references are also to be found aplenty. The more jazzy touch is majorly found from tracks 2 to 6, after which the album gets increasingly proggier in its essence.
