The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Music For The People" [SP]

Simple synthpop (5/10) Two tracks from that album, the compositions that will be on my new album, which will publish soon! The album will be titled "Music for the people." Just music for the people - listen, evaluate, Collect! Yours - the motyw Simple synthpop tunes. Professionally crafted and with nice melodies, vocals are in tune. Just too plain and easy for my liking. Simply too synthetic, I guess. But it's just me, check it out if you're a fan of the genre, it may be a 10-point album for you. [Artist's website]

Happiness Project - "Electric Games"

Mediocre synthpop (5/10) Après plusieurs réalisations (notamment 2 mini-albums), jalonnant notre progression depuis nos débuts (2003), nous avons acquis la matûrité et l'assurance d'un style qui nous soit propre : le son HP... nous avons alors jugé bon de composer de tous nouveaux morceaux pour les intégrer dans un projet de plus grande envergure et sortir un album à l'image de notre formation : sincère et libéré ! Bonne écoute... Merci d'avance pour vos commentaires ! Just mediocre synthpop. Track 1 (I want you) is quite nice, with industrial feeling and interesting melody. Track 10 (Night sky) is also not so bad. But the others are weak. They are dominated by a disco beat, very unoriginal. Moreover, singers' voices are weak and uninteresting (especially male voice - female's is slightly better). [Artist's Myspace]

ajk - "Uratowac resztke mnie cz. 2 (akt 3: Bog, ...)"

Decent lyrics + primitive music (4/10) ajk is a singer from Poland. Wszystkie utwory i teksty: ajk Projekt okładki i produkcja: tasaLin The artist is quite a talented lyricist. So it's a pity he wraps his poetry in such ugly music. Maybe some musical ideas are interesting, but execution is very weak. The tracks nos. 2 & 3 are listenable electropop tunes, but no. 1 is just a terrible production failure, to the point of the singer being out-of-tune at places. On the track no. 4 the "happy" arrangement is equally clumsy. The album has been released on Jamendo and is available for downloading in mp3 or ogg format.

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "I Want Now" [SP]

Not catchy enough (5/10) Pop should be catchy. Period. It is of course highly individual matter and for some people this piece could be great, but for me the melody is not catchy. The technical side is OK, as always with this artist, the style is his usual 80s electropop. If you like the genre, you may check it out. [Artist's website]

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Sometimes" [SP]

Simple dance track (5/10) My newest track :)! It's a simple dance track, but the melody is quite catchy. It's not my favourite genre, but I guess it could be a hit for fans of simple electronic pop with heavy disco influences. The least successful element of this song is singing. The singer sings in tune, but I'd like to hear much more passion in his voice - so it could correspond well with the energetic chorus. [Artist's website]

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Like Angel" [SP]

This artist can do better (3/10) Singiel - prawdopodobnie znajdzie na nowym albumie. Utwór opisuje relacje i więzi dwojga ludzi! This is a less successful song of the artist. The melody is unattractive, synths are of usual 80s quality. But the worst element is singing - very forced, lacking power. This artist definitely can do better. The album has been released on Jamendo and is available for downloading in mp3 or ogg format.

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Bonus track - Analog live" [SP]

Simple electronic disco; catchy tunes (5/10) To jest EP. Składają się na ten album dwa utwory - backgroundy do wokali. Planuję w niedalekiej przyszłości dograć do tych utworów wokale. Życzę przyjemnego słuchania - społeczności jamendo! Pozdrawiam - the motyw Simple electronic disco in the style of 80's. The quality of synthetic sounds is terrible, even for disco. However, the pieces are catchy; the first one has really infectious melody - Modern Talking would be jealous. It's not something I'd listen with pleasure, but if you're a fan of the genre, you can safely add 2 points to my rating. [Artist's website]

ajk - "Uratowac resztke mnie cz. 2 (akt 4: A zostanie tylko milosc, Eksplozja)"

Unattractive electronic pop (3/10) ajk is a singer from Poland. Wszystkie utwory i teksty: ajk Projekt okładki i produkcja: tasaLin Unattractive electronic pop. The Polish lyrics are not bad, but melodies are boring, and what worse - do not fit the vocal lines. It sounds like two different tracks combined into one song. The album has been released on Jamendo and is available for downloading in mp3 or ogg format.

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Analog Live"

Simple, disco-based synthpop - not my cup of tea (4/10) Primitive synthpop or - more precisely, electropop, as synthpop is usually based on rock music, use some guitars and rock expression, even if it is executed with electronic means. This album is definitely based on disco, dance, pop - the artist is very far from rock stylistics. And that's what I mean by "primitive": using the most simple, obvious and commercial-driven forms of artistic expression. Even in synthpop music there are works, which are highly original and thought provoking (Depeche Mode, for example). But not this time, ladies and gentlemen. Compared with this album, even Erasure or Pet Shop Boys write experimental music. Still, this is not a total flop. Many people love such "easy" music. That's why I described above what I mean by primitive - this isn't in any way primitive when it comes to production or performance. The artist knows how to write pop melodies, he has an acceptable voice with a nice timbre. And the issue of a chosen stylistics is just a matter of taste. If only such recordings populated charts in Poland, I'd be a happy man. Unfortunately, much worse acts gain a huge popularity. I would definitely prefer to hear this guy on radio instead of the highly successful Polish crap-pop band Feel. So, if you like such simple, "easy-listening" disco-based pop, check it out. By the way, here is a remastered and extended version of this album and some of the added tracks are much better.

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Droga do ciebie" [SP]

Simple pop - too simple for my taste (5/10) Very simple disco-based electropop. It's definitely not my cup of tea, but if somebody is a fan of the genre, he should check it out. The artist has a good voice, sings with a great passion. The melody is not bad either, even if too obvious for my liking. The love-themed lyrics are simple but nice and well-written. If you want to score and you look for a romantic song to play to your pop-oriented Polish-speaking girlfriend, search no more. This is your weapon of choice. ;-) [Artist's website]

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "All For You"

Simple, disco-based synthpop - not my cup of tea (4/10) The album contains songs already released - but they are subject to re-mastered and slightly revised arrangements. In addition, contains an additional track - as an instrumental version - which will soon be in as stand-alone single. The album will also include a special booklet in pdf format with all the songs lyrics as a bonus for fans. Primitive synthpop or - more precisely, electropop, as synthpop is usually based on rock music, use some guitars and rock expression, even if it is executed with electronic means.

I would definitely prefer to hear this guy on radio instead of the highly successful Polish crap-pop band Feel. So, if you like such simple, "easy-listening" disco-based pop, check it out. By the way, the album is very uneven, with some songs balancing on the verge of the "disco polo" genre (the most primitive style of the Polish disco music), e.g. "10 - Dwa serca". The others are much better, like opening "space-musical" instrumental track, energetic no. 5 with a catchy melody or no. 9 played on accordion - yet again a nice melody, almost killed by an ugly disco beat, though.
