Description/Reviews:
The material has a distinctly cinematic character and is built around the sound of a virtual symphony orchestra. Its concept was inspired by the work of Władysław Hasior, who created multilayered compositions from seemingly incompatible fragments of reality. In a similar way, Sławomir Nietupski brings together a variety of styles, sounds and artistic personalities on the album.
The word “assemblage” in the title refers to the process of creating a coherent whole from diverse elements, while “cinematic idioms” highlights the narrative and evocative nature of the music, which unfolds like a soundtrack to a film that does not exist. The album features six elaborate compositions with a total running time of nearly 50 minutes. Based on lyrics by poet Izabela Turska-Kamrowska, the songs explore everyday doubts and emotions, feelings of separation and alienation, as well as the search for faith and joy in everyday life.

Band photo by Pastor
CD layout by Kontamination Design

Description/Reviews:
Here we get tight, uptempo and intricate riff and rhythm constellations alternating with gentler, flowing and strictly melodic movements. Heavier, blues-flavored arrangements appear on the concluding 'Crimson Sunset', and delicate interludes of various kinds and straight forward passages with more of a hard rock alignment are just as numerous as more quirky passages and the occasional blazing metal run. Few of the songs on this album stick to one specific expression, most of them alternates between many. The vocals are powerful when needed, emotional when appropriate and careful in display elsewhere. With a high quality mix and production throughout. Whether this is an album that can be defined inside of the progressive metal tradition will be a subjective opinion, but I'm fairly certain that many fans of more contemporary progressive metal in particular may well find this album to be an interesting one.

Description/Reviews:
The debut album of the Strange Pop "Ten Years Gone" is primarily a tribute to the 1970s. Only analog synthesizers, a minimal, natural recording methods and the abandonment of modern studio solutions made the final effect really take us into that magical era. Inspirations: Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, George Benson, Jean Michel Jarre.
