E.c. Ball

“Midnight Ball (Éjféli Bál)” was the second official CD of the band, released in 2011. On the 10th anniversary of the CD release, the band decided to re-arrange and re-record the album, this time with English lyrics. This CD edition contains the new versions of the original nine songs, and two new ones for which there is no previous Hungarian version, also released on the LP version. Another Midnight Ball is based on the novel Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Legacy of a Pharaoh was inspired by Boleslaw Prus’ novel, Pharaoh. I’ll Be One of the Gods was inspired by the Book of the Dead. Matthew 26:47 is an excerpt from the Gospel of Matthew.

But the McCoys had grander musical ambitions than their patrons at Bang were willing to nurture, and in 1968 they signed with Mercury Records, where they were given complete creative freedom as they cut their final two albums, Infinite McCoys and Human Ball. The McCoys' musical approach took a 180-degree turn with these two albums, which blended psychedelic meanderings with jazz piano pieces, country melodies, sunny pop, extended blues workouts, and a few pieces that defy conventional explanation…

Sea Level was an American jazz fusion band from Macon, Georgia that mixed jazz, blues and rock and existed between 1976 and 1981. Initially it was an offshoot of The Allman Brothers Band, but as tensions grew between the loss of two of its founding members and personal grievances between Gregg Allman and other bandmates and associates, Sea Level took on a life of its own as an independent band…
