1. Formed by Nagy Feró and Németh Alajos in 1982, Budapest, Hungary, Bikini is one of the most successful Hungarian rock band of the eighties. Nagy Feró's (also known as "the cockroach of the nation", as he called himself) former punk band, the legendary Beatrice split up in 1982, after having serious problems with communist authorities, when they formed this band.
The band music and lyrics was, like much of the communist era, filled with hidden meanings against the oppression. With Nagy Feró in the front of the Bikini they produced two studio albums, which were very progressive, post modern punk rock albums. Their debut was "Hová lett?" (1983), followed by the "XX. századi híradó" (1984) one year later. However as the eroding of Hungarian communist regime became more obvious and faster, Feró left the Bikini for reuniting the Beatrice.
In 1985 D. Nagy Lajos arrived to the band as a lead singer, when they progressed to a more accessible and melodic rock sound, and produced legendary and very successful hit songs like "Közeli helyeken" or "Ki visz haza?", which are still very popular and often played in Hungary. The band split up in 1992 but reunited in 1997.
Members are: D. Nagy Lajos, Németh Alajos, Lukács Peta, Mihalik Viktor, Makovics Dénes, Bördén Szabolcs.
Some former members are:
Nagy Feró (vocals 1982-85), Vedres Joe (guitar 1982-91, 1997-1998), Németh Gábor (drums, 1982-1985), Berecz Endre (drums, 1989-1991), Hirleman Bertalan (drums, 1985-1989, 1997-1998), Gallai Péter (keyboards 1985-2003), Daczi Zsolt (guitar 1991-2004), Csillag Endre (guitars 2004-2006), Kató Zoltán (saxophone, 1989-1998).

2. Bikini (electro-pop dance music duo) is Nigel Diamond and Olivier Olivier. Their music is like Salinger on MDMA. Diamond is originally from Miami and Olivier was classically trained at the Royal Conservatory.
Olivier Olivier is the son of the late Indian poet Fateh Bains and moved to Canada where he attended Glen-Lyon Norfolk School, a school chosen for its musical program affiliated with the Royal Conservatory of Music. It was here Olivier met Nigel Diamond, who was sent down after he was expelled from his previous school.
It wasn’t until after Glen-Lyon Norfolk that the two began to make music together. Olivier composes all the melodies in the fall of each year, drawing his inspiration from the poetry he writes during the summer. He records vocals, exports all his drafts without titles or form to Diamond. Diamond spends the following spring arranging Olivier's melodies, rhythm sequences and vocal treatments, adding his own lines. The result is a finished record. Nothing is sent back to Olivier. The songs are then sent from Diamond to be mastered and released.

Túl vagyok mindenen, mi jöhet még?

Múlik az idő, az emberölő.
Bennem a remény hamuvá lett,

The lyrics of the song "A szabadság rabszolgái" by Bikini reflect the feeling of being trapped in the modern world, where we are constantly chasing after something without truly finding fulfillment. The opening lines, "We have reached the end of the century, I've been through everything, what else can come? It seems like the goal is only to see who gets to hell first," convey a sense of disillusionment and exhaustion. The singer wonders what more there is to experience, as if the purpose in life is solely to indulge in self-destructive behaviors.
The second verse continues this theme, describing the present as a stone age rather than the future. Time passes, but it feels like it is killing us. The hope within the singer has turned to ashes, and life spins like a game of Russian roulette. These lines capture the sentiment of being trapped in a cycle of monotony and danger, where taking risks and living on the edge are the only ways to feel alive.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of being slaves to our own desires and urges, urging others to continue their self-destructive behavior without pause. It suggests that this cycle of servitude is inescapable, making a powerful statement about the state of modern society.
The third verse provides a personal touch, suggesting that the singer has returned to themselves, seeking to learn from others what they do not know. They will wait for the right time to act and become someone who both gives and takes, but at their own price.
The fourth verse highlights that in a world full of empty words, only those who do not want to understand fail to grasp the message. The mention of 'Tízmilliónyi Isaura', referring to a Brazilian novel about slavery, symbolizes the desire for everyone to finally become their own masters and break free from the chains that bind them.
Overall, "A szabadság rabszolgái" explores the theme of feeling trapped in a world that often feels hollow and devoid of meaning, where self-destructive behaviors and chasing after material desires are seen as the only forms of escape.

Utolért minket az ezredvég,
We have reached the end of the millennium,
Túl vagyok mindenen, mi jöhet még?
I have surpassed everything, what else can come?
Mintha a cél csak az volna,
As if the goal is only
Ki jut előbb a pokolra.
Who can get to hell first.
Kőkorszak ez itt, nem a jövő,
This is the Stone Age, not the future,
Múlik az idő, az emberölő.
Time passes, it kills humans.
Bennem a remény hamuvá lett,
Hope in me has turned to ashes,
Pörög az élet mint az orosz rulett.
Life spins like Russian roulette.
Rabszolgák rabszolgáljatok,
Slaves, keep on slaving,
Rabszolgák meg ne álljatok!
Slaves, do not stop!
Rabszolgák - szolgáljatok!
Slaves - serve!
Magamért jöttem vissza, nem titok,
I came back for myself, it's not a secret,
Megtanulom tőled, amit nem tudok.
I will learn from you what I don't know.
Kivárom az időt és olyan leszek,
I will wait for the time and become such,
Hogy drágán adok és olcsón veszek.
That I give expensively and buy cheaply.
Sok beszédnek sok az alja,
There is a lot of bottom to a lot of talk,
Csak az nem érti, aki nem akarja.
Only those who do not want to understand, don't understand.

Legyen már végre a maga ura!
Finally, let each one be their own master!

A dal bombasztikus, a mondanivalója sajnos a ma is aktuális, de a Bikininél a szöveg mindig is erős
volt. Szeretem. A keverés viszont egy borzalom...nem isértem, hoyan sikerült így eltolni...Szinte az összes album jobban szól. Természetesen ez is szubjektív...
