Lazzaro
Spellbinding electro-acoustic constructions born from stringed instruments, percussive onslaughts and emotionally charged song craft. Maselli's uncanny skill to create non-conformist drama recalls the wind swept post-rock oblivion of Set Fire to Flames at their most layered and dense, The Haxan Cloaks doom-ridden worlds of grain and texture and the edge blurring of instrument and electronics so expertly honed by Emptyset. “There’s no solitude in art, since it truly only exists in the light of th…

Three very strong indivi…
Senne Wędrówki
The Warsaw quartet, which in 1969 went skyward with a razor and discovered for the Polish listener psychedelic-soul sounds in the spirit of Vanilla Fudge, celebrates its 50th birthday.

Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem
The last album of the original SBB before a long break. A summary of the decade full of events and achievements, as well as a kind of a clasp - completed years later with the beginning of the story, i.e. the first version of the title track, still from the Silesian Blues Band times! When "Memento z banalnym tryptykiem" was released in 1981, SBB was already history. The album, recorded a year earlier, thus became a kind of summary of the decade, in which the band searched, demolished, built and c…
