Search - Anima Sound System :: Revolution

Taken from the triumphant album We Strike, the single "Revolution" is once again carrying invocations for individual freedom and the problems of the underprivileged victims of our so called free-market economy into the world. In 1956, a secret speech at the KPdSU party congress from Chruschtschow caused serious political crisis in many countries. This day put a stop to the cult of Stalin - the exemplary character of communism. It was a small step towards reforms but for the Hungarian students and artists point of view this was not progressive enough and led to massive protests in the streets. The Hungarian national uprising ended up in a bloody invasion by Soviet forces in Budapest in November 1956. The 50th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and its spirit is the basis of the single "Revolution" in 2006. Within 12 years in the music business, six studio albums, numerous awards, collaborations with the likes of Asian Dub Foundation, De Phazz, and Transglobal Underground and a heaping of international performances, Anima Sound System have never been average, have never conformed, and have never been considered upper class. Their attitude hasn't changed one bit either. Without any exaggeration, Anima Sound System is the hottest and most exciting collective Hungary's pulsating electronic music scene has to offer.
