Search tips: Use just a single word. This is a small database, and you will rarely return too many listings. If you search for "songs of Spain" you will get every listing with the word songs or spain. This is a fairly primitive search tool, so don't use punctuation like quotes or commas... they don't help. Finally, only very basic ASCII charaters are readable (like I said, it's primitive), so substitute any letters with diacritical or accent marks with a simpler letter, ie: search Boden instead of Bodén

Ferenc Kiss - Outlaws of the City -Nagyvárosi bujdosók - $16.99
The Outlaws of the City is a thematic or as it is nowadays called a concept album. In the songs, lyrics and performance I used a lot from what I have learnt in the past 25 years about folk cultures, and the way we can use them today. The prosaic supplements, which I call texts that accompany the songs, cannot be sung, but they all relate, at some places closely, at others loosely, to the imagery of the songs. They make each other complete. They are about me, and my loved ones, and about those who can never be loved. Memories about my generation and the hiding. My childhood, and school, fears, the recognition and the fire, music and water, the respect of traditions and rebellion, landscapes and people, tales and travels, the myth and bureaucracy, duty and love, self-destruction and attachments, home and the native land, the rustling of skirts, our fate, the child's eyes, the smell of books, the wings of freedom and of course happiness, joy, wine and dance, and the language of the Bible and the streets – these all loom in them. Naturally, Lucifer is also there all the time. Those outlaws who I can thank the most are mentioned by their name. They have always provided me with a secure shelter, and they still do. They all guided me through the wonderland of arts and visions towards the point of irradiation (clairvoyance). Among them some were hiding in poetry, music or in the desert, others amidst celluloid tapes or perhaps along barbed wire. Or they were fleeing from something into the oily scent of colours, into folk poetry, dance and play. They were all urban residents. I truly belive that in its insane roam, they, and those similar to them, are the ones who keep directing this depraved mankind in the right direction.
