Both made some great albums and came from countries behind the Iron Curtain. Don't forget to check out the Martian Chronicles II (2014) album by Solaris! |

SBB for me but then again I only have Martian Chronicles, which I do adore. I remember listening to their Nostradamus album from 1999 thinking it sounded way too sterile for my tastes and i haven't explored any further. SBB on the other hand: Karlstad, the debut plus all the other ones from the 70s which i have a hard time spelling out. Damn those polish words  They've also got one of my alltime favourite drummers in Jerzy Piotrowski  well not anymore now that I think of it.....big mistake.------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Actually, he came back to the band this year.  BTW, in the 80s he joined a Synth Pop band Kombi which is very famous in Poland in which he played on electric drums. Check out this clip: Sorry for destroying the legend.

BTW, I don't know the music of Solaris, so I can't vote. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Solaris is my little Hungarian badge of honor. Truly legendary. MK II review coming soon. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

| Solaris. Marsbeli Kronikak is an unbridled masterpiece. SBB are fantastic themselves, but not quite up to the level of those magnificent Magyars. |

The recent Martian Chronicles II is damn fine. It bogs down a bit after the first track, but has a very strong ending. Much recommended overall! ......... At the annual hometown record show this afternoon I saw 4 or 5 of the earliest SBB lps in excellent shape - rare for these flimsy Polish covers - going for $10 each. Also some Skryzk titles. I'm now kicking myself that I did not get his Josefina lp - thought I already had it! |

Wow this is hard, it's kind of a tie I guess. Solaris debut is one hell of an album and SBB got Memento Z Banalnym Tryptykiem and Karlstad but they also have a few albums that are just ok for me. And I agree Solaris latest is growing on me with every spin, definitely recommended!

SBB.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
