TEST-TEST-

This outfit originated from Warzaw Poland and this, their sole album, was released in 1974. Best described as an east-european version of Deep Purple, there are several musicstyles collected on a very odd piece of vinyl. Gathered together here are Hard/Prog/Blues/Folk rock Music with a nice and polished (!!) soundframe. Described and promoted as Hardrock back in the day in Poland, that is a bit exaggerated…

The production is Clean with cool Dynamics towards the vocals and instruments. The compressed soundframe does make the timewearness appearent. The benefit though is the great breaks and will put your knowledge about Eastern europe rock Music up to date. The cover of “Smoke on the water” is just hilarious with Polish/English accent but at the same way a great reminder that Music is a global phenomenom…..excellent!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummers, Henrik Tomala & Ryszard Gromek?? As this album is a cut of several tracks, the first five pieces are a bit raw with personal striking abilities and very good Dynamics. Perhaps This is the better part of the record and it belongs to Mr Gromek. The second part of the record is more Heavy influenced and the drumming is comming towards more of a Power input with less personal reflection. To compare would be unfair but both drummers enjoys great hitratio and technical skills. A great performance due to the fact that almost all western rock Music was banned by the goverment and so forth the musical influences from the rest of the World. With this taking in consideration, this is a very nice effort and experience.. 🙂

So, if you´re in for ´70s Hard/Prog/Blues/Folk rock Music this is a very good contender. Cool guitar-riffs and breaks makes this a very good Blueprint for interesting Music in the genre all in all. As some songs are in their native tounge, this makes the album an even more cool record to get you focused on the musical input. There are great original copies out there for no Money at all and this one´s really delivers in obscure department! Why not try this one at the Music quiz next time?? Bet you get away with a very pleasent evening and many opinions!! 🙂
