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.

Angyali üdvözlet
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fenyő alatt csodát reméltem
Bontogattam az ajándékokat,
Mint szárnyaim, s a bájitalokat
Az angyalokban mindig is hittem
Egyszer egyet oltár elé vittem
Jóban-rosszban esküt fogadtunk
Nem háborgok, pedig háborúk dúlták fel a lelkem
Nem lázadok, de egy egész világ dőlt össze bennem
Csak nézem, ahogy betemet az éteri por
Majd találkozunk, valahol, valamikor
A szellemekben mindig is hittem
Legendákkal az agyam bevetettem
Elmúlik minden, az élet olyan más
Nincsenek hősök, sem angyallegendák
Nem háborgok, pedig háborúk dúlták fel a lelkem
Nem lázadok, de egy egész világ dőlt össze bennem
Csak nézem, ahogy betemet az éteri por
Majd találkozunk, valahol, valamikor
The lyrics of Bikini's song Angyali üdvözlet (Angel's Greeting) talk about the singer's belief in angels and spirituality. The first stanza talks about the singer's trust in angels and how they hoped for miracles under the Christmas tree. The singer compares the gifts and potions to the wings of angels. In the second stanza, the singer talks about taking an angel to the altar, where they made a promise to stick together through thick and thin, but had to fall from grace together too.
The third and fourth stanzas talk about the singer's belief in spirits and legends. The singer acknowledges that everything eventually fades away, and life is different from the tales of heroes and angel legends. The recurring message in the song is about the singer's calm acceptance of the chaos that happened in their life, but the hope and belief that they will see their angels and spirits someday in the future.

Az angyalokban mindig is hittem
I always believed in angels
A fenyő alatt csodát reméltem
I hoped for miracles under the Christmas tree
Bontogattam az ajándékokat,
I unwrapped the presents like my wings, and also the love potions
Mint szárnyaim, s a bájitalokat
as if they were my wings and the love potions
Egyszer egyet oltár elé vittem
Once I brought one to the altar
Jóban-rosszban esküt fogadtunk
We took an oath in good times and bad
Együtt repültünk és azután zuhantunk
We flew together and then fell
A szellemekben mindig is hittem
I always believed in spirits
Legendákkal az agyam bevetettem
I employed legends in my mind
Elmúlik minden, az élet olyan más
Everything passes, life is so different
Nincsenek hősök, sem angyallegendák
There are no heroes, nor angel legends
Nem háborgok, pedig háborúk dúlták fel a lelkem
I am not disturbed, even though wars raged inside me
Nem lázadok, de egy egész világ dőlt össze bennem
I am not rebelling, but a whole world collapsed inside me
Csak nézem, ahogy betemet az éteri por
I just watch how the etheric dust buries everything
Majd találkozunk, valahol, valamikor
We'll meet somewhere, sometime

89-90 ben este a körletekben hallgattunk Bikinit vagy 20 an a szobákban. Erre aludtunk el. Valahogy a magunkénak éreztük a szöveget,a zenét,a stílust. Ma pedig egy felejthetetlenül szép emlék. Szeretem.

Van a Bikini dalszövegekben valamiféle szívbemarkoló keserű igazság, amikor fellegekben járok és meghallgatok egy ilyen dalt, hirtelen megcsap a kijózanító valóság. Zeneileg tökéletesen kísérve az üzenet, amely nálam mindig célba talál. :)

Led Zolesz ha magányos, ha elkeseredett, ha szerelmes. Egyszerűen fantasztikus ez az együttes!
