This track is one of Kati's diversions into heavy psych that you can find in her work in the 60s and 70s. She is a famous pop singer in Hungary, who gladly for us made a few heavy songs in co-operation with rock bands like Locomotiv GT, Juventus, Gemini, Hungária and Tolcsvayék És A Trió, bands who appear in this and other volumes.

Kati won TV & Radio's 'Táncdalfesztivál ’72' with the song 'Add Már Uram Az Esőt!' (Lord, give me the rain!), with Juventus backing her. It was released on single the same year and she was popular in East Germany where it was released in German, as were many of her songs. It became one of her perennial favourites and she performed it on stage as recently as 2024 (link).

Listening through Gemini's work its very clear they are talented musicians and they were a commercially-orientated band that played any style of rock adeptly, from pop / schlager music to hard rock. They performed as the backing band for female pop singers of the time, such as Kati. Gemini only released one album but they made many singles during '72 to '81 of varied styles, and most of the members were playing in other popular acts of the time, such as Apostol, Neoton Família and Generál. As of now (2024) you can stll see the activities of the remaining members of Gemini at markogeminiband.hu (link).
