Music Talk

We are taking a brief break from reviewing new albums to discuss two albums that you have likely never heard.  This is because they come from Cold War era Hungary.  One is a one language away from being a classic rock staple, and the other is an runaway train of strange ideas and art-house shenanigans.  Find out which is which on this episode of Riff 'n Ralk Music Tock!
