Some people like to complain that true music died and all that contemporary artists produce is shit. Usually it is strangely related to those people getting older and becoming less open, more nostalgic and focused on the past. Well... What can you do? The world moves on.
However, as long as you can still top the charts just with a good melody, powerful voice and acoustic guitar, I officially announce: the Music is well, thank you for your concern. OK, good looks won't hurt, either. ;-P |

Peszek, Maria - "Maria Awaria" (2008)
Maria Peszek is a highly acclaimed Polish singer/songwriter. She is considered to be controversial, especially by right-wing retards and tabloids, because she is not afraid to openly discuss - both in lyrics to her songs and in interviews - themes such as sex, faith, patriotism and mental diseases. Each of her three albums was a commercial success, at the same time being praised by the critics and receiving many awards in her native Poland. She sings exclusively in Polish.
Maria Awaria (Maria the Failure) is a loose concept album about sex, love and femininity. All lyrics are in Polish and they are really good, witty and powerful, being an important factor in making these songs as awesome as they are. Therefore, this album may not appeal to non-Polish speaking public, as some tracks are built around lyrics with musical background playing only a small part ("Milosc w systemie Dolby Surround", "Reks", "Ladne slowa to"). Nevertheless, I still encourage you to check this album out, because many other tracks are brilliant from the musical side too (e.g. "Rosol", "Hujawiak", "Maria Awaria", "Muchomory"). From the musical perspective this is a pop (or pop rock) record, with some jazz and modern electronica influences. The album is masterfully produced by one of the best Polish producers and electronica composers, Andrzej Smolik, so the said musical background is full of pleasant surprises on many occasions. Many of Peszek's vocal lines are catchy as hell too and should be enjoyable even without understanding of her lyrics. Maria Awaria To zdecydowanie najbardziej kobieca i erotyczna płyta na polskim rynku od czasów... Hmmm... No właśnie, takiego albumu jeszcze w kraju nad Wisłą nie było. Tracklist: 01. Mis [03:33] 02.

Support artists, not recording industry Pay the artists directly. They do not profit from CD sales. If you buy brand new mainstream albums in regular record stores (no matter whether online or offline, CDs or downloads), almost all the money goes to the recording industry mafia and is later used for committing crimes such as unlawful harassment of fans and bribing authorities to implement changes in law, which would infringe basic human rights. If you really want to support mainstream artists (and you should, if you love their music!), go to concerts or buy merchandise off the official websites. If you can afford buying music, but it is not possible to pay a particular artist without a mafia tribute, consider supporting some independent artists instead. You can find many great acts on such websites as magnatune.com, jamendo.com, cdbaby.com, bandcamp.com, megatotal.pl. Supporting independent artists helps fight the recording industry mafia.

Sylmer - "Originaire"
Beware (1/10)
|
![]() ![]() [Artist's Website] |
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Lousy voice, terrible drums, uninteresting melodies. Guitar is quite good, but all is wasted because of badness of other elements. Poor production tops it off, but the biggest problem is lack of vocal and arranging talent. Maybe the lyrics are impressive? I don't know it, because I can't speak French.

Celibatfighters - "Remise en ordre"
Lack of interesting melodies, too eclectic (5/10)
I was not too pleased with this recording. It lacks interesting melodies and is too eclectic. Eclecticism must not be a bad thing, but only if it is a planned action. Eclecticism on this album seems to be a result of a coincidence: "we somehow succeeded in composing some songs, so here they are". Also technical skills and quality of recording of some of these tunes are questionable (e.g. 03 Qu'est ce qui m'arrive?). Only two tracks are better than average: 1 Aller simple - a very dark and moody tune with an interesting melody; 10 Bande a part - a light acoustic guitar song with a funny melody.

Kaczmarski, Gintrowski, Lapinski - "Mury" (1981)
|
I usually discourage people from buying records issued by the majors, as almost all the money goes to the recording industry mafia anyhow and will be used later for committing crimes such as unlawful harassment of fans and bribing authorities to implement changes in law, which would infringe basic human rights. However, in this case, the said "mafia" did a really good job at remastering all the works of Jacek Kaczmarski and helped reviving his popularity in the 90-ties, supporting him until his premature death in 2004. His works are published with all due respect and esteem that this greatest Polish singer/songwriter deserves. Therefore - you won't hear it from me often - if you like this album, I encourage you to buy it. In this case the record label (Pomaton EMI) really earned its pay and deserves to be rewarded. |

Plastic Evolution - "At A Wooden Desk"
Not catchy enough (6/10)
This is simple dreamy guitar pop rock. This is a professional recording and will find its fans for sure. For me, however, it is not catchy enough to keep my attention focused. The songs flow slowly and my eyelids get heavier and heavier... Good night. By the way, this is just a half of the album you can get in other websites. [Artist's Myspace] ![]() |

ajk - "Uratowac resztke mnie cz. 2 (akt 2: Czlowiek w swej wielkosci, Dezintegracja)"
Decent lyrics wrapped in bad music and delivered with weak voice (4/10)
Like I already wrote in the other review, this artist is not a bad lyricist. So it's a pity his lyrics are illustrated with such uninteresting or even ugly (a terrible track no. 1) music. He is also a rather lousy vocalist, singing - or in fact reciting - without passion and sometimes almost out-of-tune. To sum it up: waste of time. Maybe he should think about publishing poems instead? The album has been released on Jamendo and is available for downloading in mp3 or ogg format. |

ajk - "Uratowac resztke mnie cz. 2 (akt 3: Bog, ...)"
Decent lyrics + primitive music (4/10)
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. |

ajk - "Uratowac resztke mnie cz. 2"
Decent acoustic rock (6/10)
It is quite decent acoustic rock. First of all, we have here good lyrics sang in tune and with confidence. Maybe the voice of the artist could be stronger, maybe the melodies could be catchier, but it is not a bad recording. Check it out if you are a fan of the genre. All the songs are in Polish, and since lyrics are quite important in such kind of music, this work probably will not be interesting for people not speaking po polsku. ;-) ![]() |

Bluz'n'Harp - "Nobody's perfect"
Mediocre folk rock (4/10)
It's generic folk rock (or maybe rather singer/songwriter folk-influenced pop) of mediocre quality. The singer's voice is uninteresting, the tunes boring and production quite amateurish. It's not a disaster though, and considering that quality of melodies is a matter of taste, I can imagine it may be appreciated by some people. So if you're a dedicated fan of the genre and you don't care about shortcomings of performance and production, you may give it a try, 'cause "Nobody's perfect". ![]() |

Mihkay - "Everything Changes" [demo]
Everything changes but Lenin lives forever (4/10)
I'm sorry the title of the review is a comment on the cover, not music, but I just couldn't resist. As for the music. I know it's just a demo, but still, I listened to some demo albums made by other artists, which were so good I kept them in my collection and listen with pleasure. Unfortunately, that's not the case here. Both songs are simple pop rock played by a one-man orchestra on guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and vocals of course. I guess that already puts him out of the crowd and requires quite a talent, but I won't raise my points because of that. I rate general listenability, which for me is limited. On my scale good recording starts at 7/10. The main problem for me here are uninteresting melodies, which lower the rating to 5/10. Production or technical issues lower it one point more. What issues? Firstly, the drums. They are monotonous and overwhelm the rest of instruments. And their sound is very flat. All of this makes for a really tiring effect. I think they would be tiring even if they were exceptionally good, but they are weak. Use and placement of guitar, bass and keyboard is much better, maybe except for the "piano" sound on the second track, which is quite artificial. I also didn't like the guitar effect at 2:53 of the first song. It is out-of-place there, doesn't fit in this song. Finally, the vocals. The artist should work on his voice, because now it just lacks power and confidence. But it is not a disaster either and definitely there is a room for improvement. Don't get me wrong. This is not a bad album. My main problem with it are boring melodies and this is a very subjective issue. What's boring for one is great for the others. There are many top pop rock bands, which for me have only boring tunes. Yet they are still on top and many people love their songs. So for someone else technical issues could mean lowering the rating not from 5/10, but from 10/10. If you like pop rock and have free 8 minutes, you might check this out and who knows...? Moreover, it is clear the artist is still learning (and eager to learn). So with better production skills, slightly better equipment, some singing lessons and a bit of luck in composing catchy tunes, he might come up with a real blockbuster. Again - who knows...? So a pop rock fan could keep him on a watchlist, just it case "everything changed". By the way, I briefly listened also to "Mihkay Demos", just to have some comparison and my first impression was that those songs were better. Maybe they were worse produced (as the artist wrote himself in the album's description) but they were much more diverse with regard to accompaniment. The melodies didn't catch my ear either, but because of the interesting arrangement, my attention was more focused. |

Bat For Lashes - "Two Suns" [Special Edition] (2009)
Brighton, England's Bat for Lashes is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Natasha Khan. The Pakistan-born Khan pulls from her art school education and her experience producing multimedia installations when it comes to writing songs. She also cites Steve Reich and Susan Hiller as influences, while echoes of Björk and Siouxsie Sioux are heard throughout Bat for Lashes' mystical indie rock sound. [by MacKenzie Wilson / Allmusic.com] Ultimately, Two Suns is nearly as graceful and poetic as Bat for Lashes' best work; it's just that the album's massive concepts and sounds require a little more time and patience to unravel to get to the songs' hearts. It's clear that Khan's talent and ambition are both huge, and for her to slightly overreach is better than not aiming as high as she can. [Read more --->] |
Warning! The artist probably* does not sell this record outside of the official distribution, so if you buy this album, almost all the money will go to the recording industry mafia and will be used later for committing crimes such as unlawful harassment of fans and bribing authorities to implement changes in law, which would infringe basic human rights.
