Hi Pertou, Timer and Trane, thanks for responding to my message.
Your English is very good Pertou, certainly better than my Hungarian!
I think many people fail to realise just how difficult it was living under the communist regime. We take so much for granted in the democratic countries, I can't imagine being denied access to the music of my choice.
You mention Rick Wakeman, I got the album he did a couple of years ago called Retro on which he used many early synthesisers, it's worth a listen.
Other favourite artists/bands are Jean Michel Jarre- I've seen him perform live on three occasions and was in heaven each time. I also love Mike Oldfield, the dvd of his Exposed concerts in 1977 is worth getting although it is showing it's age a bit!
Glad to hear there are some ladies who enjoy TD, I think a person's taste in music says an awful lot about them and I would put us TD fans at the top of the pile when it comes to sophisticaton and intelligence!

steelyman, just to be clear, it was me, trane, not pertou, from hungary
actually, living in the communist country mine used to be was in one hand quite depressing, but in the other hand it did really offer you true challenges, reflected partly in art. since the change of the system arts in hungary have constantly been declining... however, i know it's proven by e.g. psychologists than when there is some kind of stress/burden/whatever you call it on (talented) people the output in arts is always richer not only in quantity but in conent, too
