Some more oldies (from when Polish music wasn't so embarrassing):
Loved them as a little boy
YouTube- Mira Kubasinska & Breakout-Poszlabym za toba
Never liked them - old hippies who tried to fit in with us (post-punks)
YouTube- Maanam - O! Nie Rób Tyle Hałasu (1982)
Same here - lyrics were too polished, written by a paid poet :-) (note Edscoble on guitar)
YouTube- Perfect - Lokomotywa Z Ogłoszenia (1981) HQ
But they had tones of good songs (Ed, again)
YouTube- PERFECT - OBRACAM W PALCACH ZÅOTY PIENIÄ„DZ
Another band with a pro writer - it was a good way to avoid being censored, as all the metaphors were far beyond the authorities' ability to comprehend
YouTube- Lady Pank - Kryzysowa Narzeczona
There were among very few bands which not only weren't banned in public media, but also could tour in the States and afford coke to keep them slenderNext band... Always hated them. Maybe because they were allowed to perform just after the Martial Law (1981-83) when all the punk/new wave stuff was banned? Looking back, they knew their craft. Fucking hipsters!
YouTube- Kombi - Słodkiego Miłego Życia (HQ)
YouTube- Kombi - Kochać Cię - za późno (Sopot '84)

Yargo were a brilliant Manc band in the late 80's - two LP's I think - brings back so many memories

After listening to some stuff on the country music thread I decided I wanted to listen to some Lee Hazlewood. Couldn't find Love and Other Crimes so was listening to some of his other stuff. So this isn't so much a lost and found, as I've never listened to this album before. And it's awesome.

That second Niemen's track is a romantic poem about a November Uprising against tzarist Russia by Norwid.

*A FUNERAL RHAPSODY IN MEMORY OF GENERAL BEM
Iusiurandum patri datum usqueathanc diem ita servavi... Hannibal
I
Sparks of torches playing around your knees -?
The laurel-green sword is spattered with candle tears,
The falcon strains, your horse jerks its foot like a dancer.
Like moving tents of nomad armies in the sky.
Long trumpets shake in sobbing and banners
Bow their wings which droop from above
Like spear-pierced dragons, lizards and birds...
Like the many ideas you caught with your spear...
II
Mourning maidens go, some lifting their arms
Filled with scent-sheaves torn apart by the wind;
Some gather into shells tears breaking from the cheek,
Some still seek the road that was built centuries ago...
Others dash against the ground huge pots of clay
Whose clatter in cracking yet adds to the sorrow.
III
Boys strike hatchets blue against the sky,
Serving lads strike light-rusted shields,
A mighty banner sways amid the smoke, its spear-point
Leaning, as it were, against the arcs of heaven...
IV
They enter and drown in the valley... emerge in the moonlight
Blackening the sky, an icy glare brushes them
And glimmers on blades of spears like as tar unable to fall,
The chant suddenly ceased, then splashed out like a wave...
V
On - on - till it's time to roll into the grave :
We shall behold a black chasm lurking beyond the road
(And to cross it humanity will not find a way)
Over the edge we shall spear-thrust your steed
As though with a rusting spur...
VI
And we'll drag the procession, saddening slumber-seized cities,
Battering gates with urns, whistling on blunted hatchets,
Till the walls of Jericho tumble down like logs,
Swooned hearts revive - nations gather the must from their eyes.. .
On-on-
1851
