Zsager is a normal guy, but on stage he becomes fucking nuts!  <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>ALAN MCGEE (ENGLAND) Creaton/Poptones</em></font></p> <p> The virtousity of Balazs Zságer mesmerizes the audience the minute he starts playing and he is also a stunning producer of high quality compositions.  <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>EST MAGAZINE (UNGARN)</em></font></p> <p> Zagar's music is one of the most pleasent Hungarian listening experiences filled with film like atmosphears that fly you back to the 60s and to the 70s. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>UNDERGROUND PC DOME (UNGARN)</em></font></p> <p> At the moment they are the coolest band in Budapest - whatever that is supposed to mean. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>HVG ONLINE (UNGARN)</em></font></p> <p> Funk, hip-hop, bossa, detective-jazz, brit-pop, kraut or progrock - the source of inspiration is clear but the outcome is dissolved in the melting pot and can only be heard among the tracks of Zagar. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>MAGYAR NARANCS (UNGARN)</em></font></p> <p> Balázs Zságer himself would be an institution even if he would not live under the magical influence of Vintage analog synthesizers and Eastern European cartoons and Fashion magazines. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>WAN2 MAGAZINE (UNGARN)</em></font></p> <p> Hongaren een wankel evenwicht tussen dancebeats, seventiessoundtracks en dampende gitaarrock. Als vuige rocker valt hij uit de toon, als jazzgitarist geeft hij de sexy soundtrackmuziek een extra dimensie. Iets dat de in Hongaars zingende schone nog niet lukt. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>OOR MAGAZINE (HOLLAND)</em></font></p> <p> Album kombinuje (nu-)jazzové prvky s tou pokojnejaou  aseou elektroniky ako dub alebo downtempo a a~ na výnimky je skôr na pohovkové po úvanie ne~ do tanca. Niekedy si vaka silným hiphopovým spodkom spomeniete na Sofa Surfers <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>ZNMG (TSCHECHEI)</em></font></p> <p> Het is moeilijk om één stickertje op Zagar te plakken. Ze spelen hiphop tracks, B-film deuntjes en triphop maar ook vrij gewone popliedjes.

Interesujce kompozycje, niezBa produkcja i zmienne nastroje: od zadumy do taDca. To wszystko na jednym kr|ku prosto z Budapesztu. Gdy zobaczyBem ich w Londynie, w pierwszej chwili pomy[laBem, |e to kolejna wersja Oasis albo innego Blur, tym razem ze szczypt elektroniki. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>NOWARZEPA (POLEN)</em></font></p> <p> Bases hip-hop, folklore, ruiditos, cuerdas, samples, ßip ßip, maracas, guitarras, algo de rapeo, flautas, un poco de scratching, un buen bajo y maneras algo jazzy. Porque Zagar es electrónica-analógica, nu-jazz, o mejor un-jazz, siempre trip-hopero, trip trip trippy, hip hip-hop. Un St. Germain húngaro.  <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em> GEEDORAH (PORTUGAL)</em></font></p> <p> Romantique jusqu au bout de ses lunettes carrées qui le caractérisent si bien, Balazs Zsager, alias Zagar, est une autre découverte intéressante de la scène électronique hongroise. Hors de tout star-system, le jeune musicien vient de sortir son premier opus, Local Broadcast, tout droit venu du très honorable label Ugar, et qui promet d être une curiosité. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>BABAYAGA RECORDS (FRANKREICH) babayagarecords.com</em></font></p> <p>  5F5?B 2>;H51=>9 <C7K:0;L=>9 <8:ABC@K ?@>5:B0 70:;NG05BAO 2 <>I=>< 3@C25 8 7K1:>< 0B<>AD5@=>< =0AB@>5=88. !2>8 8<?@>2870B>@A:85 B0;0=BK <C7K:0=BK Zagar <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>DJ MAGAZINE (RUSSLAND)</em></font></p> <p> Ein kleiner Beitrag zur Osterweiterung. Denn wer von uns weiß schon, welche musikalischen Juwele in unserem Nachbarland Ungarn funkeln? Ich nicht - zumindest bis heute & Die Groove-Truppe rund um den Keyboarder und Sänger Balázs Zságer ist Ungarns Downbeat-Export Nr.1. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>WEGE (ÖSTERREICH)</em></font></p> <p><br> Die Künstler machen elektronische Musik mit Jazz-Einsprengseln, sehr liveorientiert und manchmal mit melancholisch-traditionellen Tönen versetzt. Untereinander sind sie alle verbunden, sie erscheinen beim Label Mole. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>KURIER (ÖSTERREICH)</em></font></p> <p> Grote verrassing op zaterdagnacht is de Hongaarse band Zagar. Atmosferische, psychedelische, maar ook sterk ritmische muziek die de volle Wan2-tent in hogere sferen brengt. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>DEADLINE (HOLLAND)</em></font></p> <p> Dit vanwege het optreden van Zagar in de Wan2 Stage. Deze Hongaarse vierkoppige formatie brengt met live instrumenten aangevuld met een (scratch) dj een mix van loungie triphop met jazz en pop invloeden. Gewoon relaxte elektronische muziek zeg maar in de trend van Orbital. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>PARTYSCENE (HOLLAND)</em></font></p> <p> ell'estate del 2002 suonano in alcuni festival ungheresi con il nome Zagar, una formazione che si è distinta per l'originalità degli arrangiamenti e l'impegno sociale delle loro canzoni; in seguito registrano il loro primo album Local Broadcast e iniziano ad esibirsi all'estero, in Austria, Germania, Olanda, Italia, Russia. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>MUZMAGAZINE (ITALIEN)</em></font></p> <p> Zagar are at their best when melting traditional jazz and electronic dance music while adding extra zest with a touch of hiphop. The resulting sound is strongly based on two determining features, groove and atmospheric mood. But Zagar wouldn t be Zagar if they didn t leave sufficient time and space for a more than convincing display of their improvisational talents. <br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>PULSE FESTIVAL (ENGLAND)</em></font></p> <p> Desde hace un par de años los países del antiguo este de Europa han empezado a sorprender el resto del mundo con el lanzamiento de unos discos suntuosos de la música electrónica. Zagar es un joven húngaro y su primer álbum es impresionante; ninguna descripción puede explicar su música que es de banda ancha cuando la mayoría de lanzamientos son acaso de tarifa plana.<br> <font color="#9f9f9f"><em>TERRA MAGAZINE (SPANIEN)</em><br> <br> </div> <div> <table width="318" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="308"> <div align="left"> <br> <font size="-1" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Zagar auf Mole Listening Pearls:</font></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="305" border="3" align="center" bgcolor="#757575" height="130"> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <td bgcolor="#7c7c7c" width="130" height="130"> <div align="center"> <a href="http://www.mole.de/dt/Releases/release2.php?kid=mole075-8"><img src="http://www.humpty.de/cover/mole075-8.jpg" alt="Wax Tailor" height="130" width="130" align="top" border="0"></a><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva">Single</font></div> </td> <td bgcolor="#7c7c7c" width="25" height="130"></td> <td align="center" width="128" height="130"> <div align="center"> <a href="http://www.mole.de/dt/Releases/release2.php?kid=mole092-2"><img src="http://www.humpty.de/cover/mole092-2.jpg" alt="Wax Tailor" height="130" width="130" align="top" border="0"></a><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva">Album</font></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="313" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="303"> <div align="left"> <br> <font size="-1" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Weitere Infos über die Band: <a href="http://www.mole.de/dt/Artists/zagar.html">Zagar</a></font><br> <br> <br> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </p> </center> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
