OUTOFSIGHT - 'Vodka Likes Smoke (The Damned Poets)' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Poor alcohol and the smoky interior of a pub. The common despair shouted out in rare moments of sobriety. The terrible, absurd atmosphere of Poland in 50s and 60s of last century. Young people, poets, writers, painters and musicians thrown out of the "happy and ideal" society created by communistic authorities. People sinking their dreams in vodka. The works of those damned: Kazimierz Raton (1942-1983), Marek Hlasko (1934-1969) and Edward Stachura (1937-1979) was inspiration for this moving album. Musically it is perfectly blended mix of cold wave, Neofolk, pop and even echoes of decadent cabaret with different guest vocals. Digipak.
