But the real hour of glory struck for Antis after they played in rock festival Lituanica 86. Although the music of Antis embraced many aspects of new wave, they developed a unique and original style and sound of their own.

In their late period, Antis began experimenting with complicated and hard-to-grasp jazz-rock structures.

Even though Leibniz had done much to bring about this happy event, it was not to be his hour of glory. Despite the intercession of the Princess of Wales, Caroline of Ansbach, George I forbade Leibniz to join him in London until he completed at least one volume of the history of the Brunswick family his father had commissioned nearly 30 years earlier. Moreover, for George I to include Leibniz in his London court would have been deemed insulting to Newton, who was seen as having won the calculus priority dispute and whose standing in British official circles could not have been higher. Finally, his dear friend and defender, the Dowager Electress Sophia, died in 1714.
