Lebowski: Cinematic

This album opens so elegantly with Marcin Luczaj's synths and keys. The lead electric guitar from Marcin Grzegorczyk and the piano are simply wonderful. An intricate yet explosive opening, full of enchantment. "The Trip to Doha" is a wonderful experience.

"137 Sec." continues the spectacular instrumental journey. Katarzyna Dziubak's vocals will bring back all of those memories from Pink Floyd's Dark Side, but in a whole new dynamic presentation. The organ and electric guitar are fantastic, weaving impressions all over this music.

The title track "Cinematic" is wonderful with its early synth keyboard climb and later synth rhythms. Marek Zak's drumming is warm and solid supporting the whole production.

"The Spiritual Machine" is full of inspired and extraordinary synth work. The electric guitar elements also launch and provide excitement and dynamic range. The drums are also timed perfectly on this song, making it another of the best.

The keys that return on "The Storyteller" are just wonderful. Later they are replaced by an organ, and the feeling and music get even better.

"Human Error" is another blistering display of lead electric supported with piano like keys that really takes the orchestration to another level.

The production ends with a 'hats – off' to Jon and Vangelis' Friends of Mr. Cairo, with the film trailing off and running out of the reel. That effect sounds so cool on disc.

This is an excellent instrumental progressive album filled with beautiful landscapes of guitars and awesome synthesizer effects. This album is already one of the best surprises of 2011. Poland is full of rock and progressive rock talent and you can now add Lebowski to the mix. Get this album.
