The group comprised of experienced Polish rockers: vocalist Leslaw KotFind albums by this artist, guitarists Jacek KrzaklewskiFind albums by this artist and Aleksander MrozekFind albums by this artist, bassist Kazimierz CwynarFind albums by this artist and drummer Boleslaw PatrynFind albums by this artist, which were earlier on members of such legendary Polish Rock groups like NurtFind albums by this artist, TestFind albums by this artist and others. The original album included ten original songs, mostly composed by Mrozek, Krzaklewski and Cwynar. This remastered edition is expanded by the addition of four more songs from a radio session, not included on the debut album. The music is pretty straightforward Hard Rock, typical of the era, with nice instrumental work by the guitarists. Some traces of Punk and New Wave are also present, more in the group´s "attitude" than in the actual music. In retrospect this material still sounds fine, but lost most of its impact over time and has more historical / nostalgic than musical value. The album is definitely an important document of the Polish Rock history. As usual great digging and research by the GADFind albums on this label Records label, which restlessly brings back pieces of history back to life. Fans of Eastern European Hard Rock should find this release very interesting.
