Hungarian rock group Omega was another tough one for me to get Pandora to play. In addition to their song “seeds” being buried deep within a station, some of their albums are linked with a different artist with the name Omega. While Pandora has separated some albums under Omega (Hungary) a significant amount remain under the un-country delineated artist. Even if I seeded a particular song from one of those records, I would only get Latin-style hip-hop/rap. Nothing against that style, but I was on a mission. I eventually created a new station of Omega-only song links ,https://www.pandora.com/station/128387775899650908, and had to remove any songs that were not specifically attributed to “Omega (Hungary).” Only then did the sweet sounds that I remembered from back in my teen years begin to emanate from my speakers. Check out “Eltakart világ” (Just a Bloom) on this week’s playlist. (I have also reached out to Pandora support in hopes they may rectify the issue.)
Whilst playing-in-wait for Omega, I heard Pink Floyd’s “Summer ‘68” (Beach Boys? Chicago?) along with some deep tracks from Sinéad O’Connor, Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Ruthie Foster, Kraan, Off Broadway and Elliott Sharp (an artist that was new to me) and have added representative selections to the playlist.

A significant portion of the playlist was helped along by the diligence of Kris LoPresto WTF 1520 (A recent conversation Marc Maron had with Thurston Moore) Playlist

I picked a few items off that list to enhance my ever-expanding musical knowledge base.
