"This Hungarian band's CD is one of the most unique I have encountered. Except for the "screaming chorus" on one track, the album is entirely instrumental. The guitars give a sound that edges towards bad metal, but stays far enough away to avoid unpleasantness, and mostly add a somewhat nervous tone to the music. The rhythmic structure is minimalist, but varied enough to keep interest.The name translates from Hungarian to "one and a half." Another similar Hungarian band is Korai Orom, who tend to be more abstract."
