Futurospekcja – Lamacz (2013)

SoFarUnknown

/Big beat, Indietronica, Alternative pop, Acid jazz, Mood music/

Comment: this pair of tracks is based on exuberant rhythm shuffles as if a mix involving the elements of indie guitars and big beat and acid jazz cadences replete with distracted milieu and broken constructions. If to speak about it in a more in-depth way, it is a notch somewhere between Skalpel, and Spaceman 3`s Big City (Everybody I Know Can Be Found From There), for instance. I don`t even know is it a sort of mood music or not (even if these elements are represented there). However, all these questions are properly pseudo ones or at tleat irrelevant because Futurospekcja`s soundscape surfaces in astonishing way. This album is produced by Błażej Gębura who is being related to the artists of such labels as Noecho, and SuperSound.

Wladyslaw Komendarek – Trashy Bird (2012)

SoFarUnknown

/Remixes, Electro pop, Progressive, Conceptual, Synth pop, Electronic pop, Synth funk, Kosmische Musik/

Comment: if to keep talking about Polish progressive music then there are up some representatives who are very worth to be remembered again. Czeslaw Niemen and Exodus ex-keyboardist Wladyslaw Komendarek are those musicians who are obviously well known among the progressive rock music fans. Both of them liked to improvise on synthesizers thereby their sound used to be a little bit more electronic and synthesized than an average progressive rock combo used to have. Trashy Bird contains a handful of tracks which are crafty remixes by such artists as Giro Arana, Futurospekcja, Marcin Cichy, Envee, and Teielte. Apparently Martin Cichy is the most prominent participant on it because of being a member of Ninja Tune related Skalpel collective. Indeed, the artists have hold down the initial element of the track and added something refreshingly new and catchy. Stylistically it extends from spaced-out synthpop and blissful vocoder-driven electro pop to musique concrete-infused downtempo progressions and catchy synth funk cadences. Indeed, there is up just one composition which reveals so many facets behind itself. Greatness.
