vinyl: 1st press, last copies!

Nadchodzi nowy projekt Zima Stulecia. Jest to duet Marek Pędziwiatr i Marcin Rak, znani z projektów EABS i Błoto.

Muzyka Zimy Stulecia jest trudna do zaszufladkowania, kierując się gdzie w stronę melancholijnej muzyki elektronicznej. Dla jednych będzie to techno, inni usłyszą elementy house'u, a wszystko to przy akompaniamencie improwizowanej muzyki syntezatorowej i perkusyjnej

You could buy there cleaning products from Germany, some underwear, Haribo jellies and Jacobs coffee, and have access to the "latest" cultural releases, which would be arriving late in Poland. This is where one could obtain pirated copies of cassette tapes and VHS, the labels of which had typewritten film titles that transported kids' fantasies to another world. With such content distribution, many of these kids got their first glimpse of Predator, Terminator, Robocop, as well as Van Damme's stunts in Bloodsport and a plethora of other B action movies, which to this day - like American Ninja - are rerun on TV over and over again. The afterimages of these soundtracks nestled in the heads of Marcin Rak and Marek Pędziwiatr for years and found expression on their debut album.
