NOSTALGIA

SATELLITE move further away from Prog with every new release. I can easily tolerate this; the problem is that their music bleaks too. It sounds so soft and perfect, just like Michael Bolton ballads. Everything is smooth, emotions are thrown on the background, arrangements are rich, but one can hardly tell a real instrument from a virtual analogue.

It's like a brand new AOR, with no "Rock" in it. I like Pop Music, don't get me wrong, and as I've learned from Woitek's interview, he likes it too, even more - he writes some songs for Polish Pop-industry. I guess, on "Nostalgia" Woitek simply forgot that this is not another radio-friendly Mariah Carey-like set of ballads. Seriously, this album is the worst one from all SATELLITE releases, and all SATELLITE releases together can't beat even the least interesting COLLAGE release in my book! Anyway, it's all up to Woitek, and if there are people who still like what he's doing, he's a happy man
