SBB was one of the big-time prog acts to come out of communist-era Poland. They backed
up one of Poland's biggest pop figures, Czeslaw Niemen (who, by that point, was pursuing

album. The production is much better than on their earlier album. Thought they have
relased better albums, this one is still worth listen. Walking Around The Stormy Bay,
