Planeta śmiechu

In the 1980s and 1990s, some of the albums by Władysław Komendarek – an artist who explored the least obvious alleys of electronic music – were released only on cassette tapes. “Planeta śmiechu” was one of them, and it now finally returns in the CD version.

The title track is a nearly twenty-minute-long suite which reflects in a gist artist’s fascinations at the moment: you could find here majestic string sounds, frenetic solo parts and pulsating combinations of drum machines and sequenced bass. The other tracks are shorter and more compact, including the first version of “Fruwająca lalka” (in 1991 it was released in a new version and became the title track of the next artist’s album) and a truly hit-like “Pogoń za laserem”. Track returns once more in bonus tracks (in another version), together with the alternative version of “Opętanie” and “Budowa nowego świata” – a piece with powerful sounds (thanks to the sampling technique) which testifies to Komendarek’s exceptionally broad horizons.

“Planeta śmiechu” has now been released on the CD, with four extra tracks, previously available only on “Tajemnice horyzontu” compilation. This is already the eighth part of the retrospective series dedicated to one of the most interesting polish creators of electronic music.
