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.

Az őrtoronyból
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Itt a félelemmel lehet nem sokra mész
És ha mégis egyszer bezárna fenn az ég
Én akkor is gondolok majd rád
Mikor lángol körülöttünk a világ
Ha nem ragyognak az égen a csillagok
Törékenyek vagyunk
Minden béke után újabb háború dúl
És ha mégis egyszer bezárna fenn az ég
Én akkor is gondolok majd rád
Mikor lángol körülöttünk a világ
Ha nem ragyognak az égen a csillagok
Törékenyek vagyunk
Olyan törékenyek vagyunk
Minden emberségem pokolra vetették
Minden igazságom tagadták, elvették
Fegyverrel kezemben hogyan szerethetnék
Akkor is gondolok majd rád
Mikor lángol körülöttünk a világ
Ha nem ragyognak az égen a csillagok
Törékenyek vagyunk
Olyan törékenyek vagyunk
The lyrics of "Az őrtoronyból" by Bikini paint a vivid and introspective portrait of a world filled with darkness and uncertainty, as seen from the vantage point of a watchtower. The imagery of the dark sky above the watchtower sets the initial tone of isolation and fear, suggesting that one may not find solace in the face of such overwhelming odds. Despite this grim outlook, there is a persistent sense of connection and longing, as the singer professes that they will still think of their loved one even if the heavens were to close off.
The mention of the world beyond the watchtower alludes to a broader perspective on life, where peace is inevitably followed by conflict and turmoil. This cyclical nature of human existence is underscored by the idea that even if the stars cease to shine in the sky, our fragility remains a constant. The repetition of the phrase "Törékenyek vagyunk" (We are fragile) serves as a poignant reminder of our vulnerability in the face of adversity and chaos.
The subsequent verses delve deeper into themes of betrayal and loss, with the singer lamenting how their humanity has been cast aside and their truths denied. The juxtaposition of love and armed conflict underscores the paradoxical nature of our existence, highlighting the difficulty of reconciling warmth and connection with the harsh realities of the world. Despite these challenges, the singer reaffirms their commitment to remembering their loved one amidst the turmoil, emphasizing the enduring power of connection in a world filled with uncertainty.
Overall, "Az őrtoronyból" invites listeners to reflect on the fragility of life, the inevitability of struggle, and the enduring nature of love and connection in the face of adversity. Through its evocative imagery and emotional depth, the song captures the complexities of human experience and offers a poignant meditation on the precarious balance between darkness and light in our lives.
