Description:

Formed in 1971 by Jozef Skrzek (b/key/vo), Apostolis Anthimos (g) and Jerzy Piotrowski (drs/perc), the band has been active to this day, although it has broken up and ceased operations. The band was recorded for the soundtrack of Bohdan Moscicki's educational film "Olowica" in 1976, and was included in the compilation box "LOST TAPES VOL.1" released by Metal Mind Productions in 2005. The studio session recordings finally saw the light of day and are now available for the first time as a stand-alone release from Poland: GAD Records! The educational film "Olowica", whose title means "lead poisoning", depicts the harmful effects of lead on the human body through images of industrial activities that use lead. It is one of the most avant-garde and abstract recordings in SBB's long history.The music is a portrayal of a musique concrte style filled with heavy tension, where fragmented phrases with dissonant mogic synths and effect distorted guitars, and drumming as if writhing in the depths of the earth intermingle in disorder, is one of the best. The music is a unique work that most expresses the hidden avant-garde/experimentality of SBB, which was glimpsed in Niemen's back band period and in his early works "SBB" and "Nowy Holyzont"! The master is a newly remastered sound source based on the original tapes left in the archives of a movie studio.
