Are you using an international moving company? They will take care of everything. Don't try to manage the shipment of the container yourself. There's a reason why there are specialized shipping and moving companies.

Polish progrock: Amaryllis, "12 Pavane".
Sounds a bit like Kansas. Technically excellent. I like the voice of the female singer.

There isn't. Until around the mid 1870s, the spelling of family names wasn't regulated by laws. The priest essentially wrote what he heard.

You can always pack the container yourself and ship House/House (FCL or LCL), but that wasn't the point. I was talking about international MOVING companies, and they do take care of everything. They pick up your stuff, put it in a container at their storage facility, ship it to the port of destination and arrange for transport to your new home at the final destination, where the container is unpacked again. I've done that multiple times across continents. No prob whatsoever.

Try to handle the shipping yourself though, and you are setting yourself up for failure. There's a reason why there are shipping agents and specialized moving companies.

No idea what they are singing about. Sounds tribal.


Colosseum Live is one of the best live albums ever made. It's in the same league as Made in Japan or Live at Leeds IMHO. The musicians are top notch. Each and everyone of them.

"Reality Dream" ... nice one. I like it.

@Joker
"Perfect" is a little too soft and mainstream for my personal taste, but the singer is quite good as Doug already said.

Here's a beautiful piece of slow blues:

I do. Guess why I posted a few jazz and jazz rock videos already... :)
Ending up with jazz and blues is a "natural" development in my eyes. After going through different phases in musical taste, most people end up appreciating the raw basics.

The song by Zbigniew Namyslowski that you posted sounds a lot like the Crusaders "Live at the Roxy (1974)" ( youtube.com/watch?v=2K53XYBlVKA ). Check it out, it's a really good album.

Here's another Polish jazz band:

Svann sounds like the Polish version of the Pretenders. When I look at the drummer, it doesn't go together with the music and the singer. Kinda strange. Totentanz is German slang for "Boring/ nothing going on". Interesting that a Polish band picks such a name. Again, that band sounds like a copy of another famous American lineup, Pearl Jam. Just a little softer. Too mainstream for my personal taste, but technically good.


LOL! Top of the Pops 1633. I like Pomme. She has a nice voice.

That's not how the East German government sold it to their people. It was called the "Antifaschistischer Friedenswall" (the anti-fascist wall of freedom). Cool name. How should we call the future Polish wall?

Punk is a diverse genre. Patti Smith Group, The Stranglers or Tom Robinson Band on one end of the spectrum, Sex Pistols, The Damned or U.K. Subs on the other. May I ask which one you didn't like? I guess the U.K. Subs style, because Dezerter borrowed from them quite a bit.


I had a backstage pass for Deep Purple Mark II (with Gillan and Glover), if that answers your question ... ;)

What you call "normal" is often considered weird in Europe. Just take the ever present smile in American faces. Do that in Poland, Germany, or any other central European country, and they will think you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
