Belarus, Stare Wasiliszki/Poland, Warsaw/Warszawa 1989
Czeslaw Niemen has radically changed his music over the years. From easy accessible pop in the sixties, to jazz-soul-rock, to pure avant-garde, to straight fusion, to all- synthesizer music. The latter he arrived at already with his 1976 "Katharsis". Since then I only knew of his 1979 album "Idee fixe" until I found this album in Warszawa this summer. "Terra Deflorata" is another all-synthesizer album. The album I think of when hear it is Geoff Downes's (of Buggles, Yes and Asia) "The Light Program". The two albums have a lot in common. I often find all-machine music like this sterile, And this is true for Both albums, even if They have some enjoyable melodies. But there is one difference that's Advantage Niemen: Niemen is not only a keyboardist, most of all he is Also a singer, a good singer. "Terra deflorata" has Both vocal and instrumental numbers, but it is the vocal numbers That Brings Life to the album, and Which makes it deserve it a rating. Erland Sommarskog
