full album
jazzis:
"This is the seventh album by the legendary Polish group Skaldowie, one of the most influential East European ensembles, founded by brothers: Andrzej Zielinski (vocalist, keyboardist, composer, arranger and leader) and Jacek Zielinski (vocalist, multi-instrumentalist). The other group members on this album are: guitarist Jerzy Tarsinski, bassist / vocalist Konrad Ratynski and drummer Jan Budziaszek. Congas player Jozef Gawrych guests on two tracks. The album was recorded practically live in the studio during one all-night session with only a few overdubs recorded later.
This album is the first full-fledged Prog album by the group and features mostly instrumental music, with the vocal parts being kept in the background. It introduces the group members as improvisers, who use the basic musical themes as a vehicle to present extended improvisations, which made each live performance of this music different every time it was played. This was a completely new direction for the group, which up to this point excelled in meticulous arrangements, which were superbly musical but severely limited the abilities of the group members to express their own statements.
The original LP consisted of just five tracks, with the title track being a fully developed suite, which occupied the entire A-side of the LP and lasted for almost 18 minutes. Although the entire album was not a concept album per se, the folkloristic themes and Classical music quotation constitute a unifying factor, which in retrospect turns the album into a concept album of sorts. The group uses the music of the Polish Highlanders (Gorals) as influence to most of the themes presented on this album. The musical approach is sometimes similar to what Emerson, Lake and Palmer presented on their early albums, but Skaldowie were unaware of these developments occurring behind the Iron Curtain.
Soon after it was released this album turned into East European Rock icon and was sought after by Rock / Prog fans in all the ex-Socialist countries, influencing countless musicians who lived in these countries and propagated the idea of Progressive Rock to new territories. It is also the most popular Polish Prog (original Prog, not neo-Prog) album among the genre's fans around the world."
