original post-folk, psyhedelic, trans-out Hungarian ravers. - FOLK ROOTS, (UK)
They have definitely developed their own signature sound... Probably the best new psychedelic ensemble around! - WAYSIDE MUSIC (USA)
The band has propelled itself into the enviable position of being an eminent member of the international music scene. A unique presence in Hungarian music life, which produces genuine music that has never been labelled as a certain kind of music genre. An antithesis of Hungarian pop business, made thoughtful use of the popularity of techno, acid and progressive dance music and emerged with tunes that were a cross-section of psychedelic punk rock, ethno and modern dance music, although the band members themselves refer to their music as a state of mind or general effusion. Music and cinema under the same roof, a complex entertainment for the eye and the ear. - BUDAPEST SUN
The most important underground band... The connecting link between alternative and dance music. - INDEX.HU
The music of Korai Öröm is overwhelming, visionary and at the same time humane, natural, mindexpanding... real earth psychedelics. - CROHINGA WELL (Belgium)
...take a measure of psychedelic music and add a solid dose of East European shamanistic folk ritual that has been around for centuries. - CRANIUM MUSIC (New Zealand)
Their astro-dub-rock shaman tribes art is not just music, they create moods translating to the audience music of non-existing folks, Each show can be perceived as fully artistic action

The band Korai Öröm was formed in 1990.
The band’s new 9th consecutive album recorded in Studio R33 is being released in the first week of March 2010 by the record label 1G Records.
Beyond the well-known dynamic drum and base percussion beats (Viktor Csányi, Zoltán Kilián, János Jócsik, Zsolt Nádasdi), Péter Szalay’s scrapey, rather ethereal and at times metallic guitar melodies are also key features of this album. Naturally, unique tunes played on a fuyara and Jew’s harp by Miklós Paizs also spice up the typical, forever renewing „Korai” melodies, to which the lead singer Tibi Vécsi adds a little something extra. The new keyboard player, Gábor Borosi, once again reproduced an ambiance invoking the atmosphere of psychedelic, electronic, acid parties.
Debut concert was at Gödör klub, Budapest, 13 March 2010 (within the framework of the Backpackers Festival), followed by concerts abroad and in Hungary during spring.
Over the past 20-odd years, Korai Öröm performed on the big stage at the Sziget Festival on 2 occasions and on the Wan2 stage each year, and was also regularly invited to perform at major festivals organised in Hungary (Volt Festival, Tokaj Hegyalja Festival, EFOTT, Balaton Sound). The band equally feels at home when performing at foreign festivals and clubs and over the past 3 years only has hit the stage in various cities located in the following countries: Holland, Italy, Austria, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Romania and Serbia.
VJs accompanying the band have been making concerts even more spectacular ever since the beginning.
The band plays progressive, tribal-trance-ethno style music.
This is what the media has to say: ambient, urban folk music, psychedelic ethno, progressive action music characteristic of the 90s. "Korai Öröm amalgamates the sounds of an array of ethnicities and galaxies in its music, which is indescribably abundant, yet most certainly digestible."
