Only a pity, they're almost unknown and very low rated on PA and RYM Big smile, but anyway I guess, we'll be able soon to talk Polish together. Big smile

Tak! We have Polish prog to thankh for that. Wink

In addition, it's probably the only time when my ratings have been in line with PA's overall ratings. Smile

A-Z of East European Prog

ANDROMEDA SPACE RITUAL    Poland's answer to Hawkwind! Andromeda Space Ritual are from the Polish town of Kraptowice. There's nothing remotely krap about their astounding sounds and amazing music though, so get strapped in and prepare for the ride of your life as Andromeda Space Ritual take you on a psychedelic space trip across the universe without having to leave the comfort of your armchair. Why does man go into space? Space: the final frontier, with its belts of radiation, meteorites, solar winds and unknown cosmic forces.  
Man has always risked the unknown, precisely because it's unknown, and man's nature is to own...

ANDROID    I'm an Automatic Lover of this humanoid Neo Prog band from Debrecen - Hungary's second-largest city. In the highly likely event that you can't find any Android CD's in the shops, you could always listen to them on your Android smartphone. Smile

ANAWA    It's magic! A crossover Prog Folk band who sound like Poland's answer to Aphrodite's Child, but at the same time, sounding like nothing you've ever heard before. 
Dobre wibracje!
Are you gonna like this, gonna like it? Not a lot, not a lot. Gonna be delighted, get excited? Maybe, but not a lot...

Well, I like it anyway. Big smile

ANANKE    In ancient Greek folklore, Ananke is the personification of fate and inevitability. In contemporary Polish folklore, Ananke are a Neo Prog band from the unpronounceable town of Bydgoszcz, led by their equally unpronounceable keyboard player Krzysztof Pacholski. Unfortunately, all of Ananke's lyrics are sung in their native Polish language - which is not the easiest language to listen to - so somewhat inevitability,  this band are fated to be barely known or heard of outside of their native Poland. Takie jest zycie. Disapprove

ANAMOR    Whenever I discover a Neo Prog band from Poland, I just know they're going to be good, and Anamor are no exception. I'm in Love with their singer Marta Glowacka. 
I want more of Anamor so I'll add them to my "Pusty List". Smile Heart

 4 stars 2003: Anamor - Imaginacje

ANA NEVER    Godspeed to the Emperors of Serbian Post-Rock! Ana Never are from the quaint town of Subotica in the autonomous province of Vojvodina. Things are rather quiet there these days in Vojvodina with no more Explosions in the Sky (thank goodness!) in this former war-torn province. For entertainment in Subotica, you could pass the time playing Subbuteo, enjoy a glass of slivovitz at one of the many bars and cafes, or alternatively, get together with your fellow Serbs and form your own post-communist Post Rock band.
 Never say Never. Smile

AMPACITY     A heavy Space Rock band from Poland with the capacity to ramp up the volume to maximum Ampacity, so better keep the ear muffs handy, because this band are no cotton candy. Ouch

AMAROK     One of the remarkable things about Crossover Prog artist Amarok is that no two albums sound alike, so expect the unexpected. Polish multi-instrumentalist Michal Wojtas is the man behind the sound of Amarok, with musical influences including Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and especially Mike Oldfield on Amarok's first self-titled album.

AM FOST LA MUNTE SI MI-A PLACUT     I Climbed the Mountain and Loved It, is the intriguing English translation of this Romanian band's name. This Post-Rock band are no strangers to Metal Archives and they also won a Romanian Metalheads Award for best new band, so if you like your post-communist Post Rock on the heavier side, then this is the band for you. Their music is probably not worth climbing a mountain to hear though, in all honesty, as they sound like so many other Post Rock bands of the same ilk, so it all gets to be much of a sameness. Anyway, with that said, their latest 2022 album hasn't yet made its way onto ProgArchives, so you can hear it here first on this blog - if you so wish.  Smile

ALTERS     Not to be confused with the American Metalcore band of the same name. No, this band are Poles apart from Metal, as they're an Eclectic Prog band from an unpronounceable town somewhere in Poland. The music is dark and experimental and sounds like King Crimson in parts, only better. Uh-oh, here comes trouble. Anyway, if you're a fan of King Crimson, you won't be disappointed. Embarrassed

ALTERNATIV QUARTET    Beware of vampires, as this post-communist Post Rock band are from deepest, darkest Transylvania, but at least there's no need to fear Ceausescu and his dreaded Securitate, as this band came along twenty years after the fall of the Romanian communist regime. Alternativ Quartet came to national attention in the Stuffed Sock festival (presumably the Romanian equivalent of Pop Idol) in 2009, but they remained virtually unknown in the rest of the world. Until now, that is. Smile

ALKOTRIO    A band who sound like an alcoholic threesome out on a pub crawl - if their name is anything to go by - but they're actually a Jazz Fusion trio from Moscow. Das vedanya. Smile

Amazing band and the Jerzy Antczak solo albums are stunning as well
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

ALAMEDA 5    A spaced-out band from an unpronounceable town somewhere in Eastern Europe, so if you guessed this band are Polish, you guessed correctly. They're as spacy and spicy as Polish sausage, so if you like the sound of tripped-out Space Rock, then Alameda 5 are right up your galaxy.  Smile

AICAN    Who can rock the house down? Aican! A Heavy Prog band from Ekaterinburg deep in the heart of Russia where, if you go down to the woods today, Don't Go Deep into the Forest, as you never know who you might see riding bareback. Shocked
