Elektriktus Electronic Mind Waves With just an album under this name, and no mention of the musicians' identity, Elektriktus was a mysterious group that only appeared with an LP on the PDU label in 1976. The album, called "Electronic mind waves", includes eight synthesizer-led compositions that show a great influence from the German cosmic music; in fact this is one of the most krautrock-inspired albums from Italy.

Polish Funk 3 - the unique selection of rare grooves from Poland of the 70's (CD) As with previous volumes, this one's put together by the Soul Service DJ Team -- and this time around, they seem to really be opening up their bag -- increasing the styles of music offered through an exploration of fusion, vocal jazz, big band, and soul -- all with a deep undercurrent of the funk promised in the title! There's some really wicked tunes with Polish lyrics -- words you probably can't understand, but which are sung with a nicely harsh edge that almost make the tunes feel like Finders Keepers-styled funk.

Polish Funk 4 Unique funk sound of Poland in the 70s, 4th volume in series (extended CD version).
Polish Funk the unique selection of rare grooves from Poland of the 70's A wonderful introduction to the kinds of grooves we've been digging from Poland for years -- that mad mix of jazz, funk, fusion, electric, and vocal elements that somehow managed to flourish wonderfully during the 70s years of Soviet control -- a real musical marvel, considering the setting -- and because of tight border control, very few of these tunes ever made it out to the west!

SBB - Nowy Horyzont (SBB 2 ) This second album by Poland’s SBB is another cracker, although it’s quite different to the first. It doesn’t have the same violent peaks – though it still rocks effectively – and the feel is spacier and more futuristic if you will due to greater (and great) use of the mini-Moog. The range of sounds is diverse, alternating more ethereal textures with pumping warpdrive tunnel swoops. Any Mahavishnu Orchestra influences detected embryonically on the first album are amplified here, though as I try to describe below, they go about it in their own unique way rather than copying anything. Again, the sound quality is uniquely mid-70’s Polish, in other words, pretty special and unusual, and with a big rounded bass end.
SKALDOWIE - Krywan Krywan (VINYL) ..truly prog album, worshipped by Polish prog fans,“Krywan, Krywan” contains a nearly 18 minutes long suite, “Krywaniu, Krywaniu”, in which they blended all their current inspirations: from Polish highlander folk music to forms taken from classical music and even citations from the works of such composers as Bach, Mussorgski, Borodin and Rossini.
