Recently, I have been complaining that there's a stagnancy on Polish scene. Well, I'll have to take my words back as I got the next successful publishing from Beast of Prey label. It's the recent CD of the band Nekyia that comes from Lubawa. According to the official biography, the...

March nine nil. Day nineteenth. Mute Records Ltd. before releasing "Personal Jesus" had already stirred up the charts in the USA and elsewhere.
