One of the most consistent prog rock bands there is. Listen to this song and then listen to Steve Hlllage's album Green.....Unidentified (Flying Beings)

SBB is an amazing and often overlooked band. Pamiec is a freakin' masterpiece. Such a unique and passionate album. I haven't gone through all of their albums yet, but i am slowly getting around to it. ------------- check out my art: http://alexanderbennett33.wixsite.com/portfolio

For the longest time, I only liked Memento because all their other albums were so different from that. And by like, I mean I LOVED Memento. I got back to listening to them and I now UNDERSTAND Pamiec, Wolanie, and Slowem. All, I believe, are masterpieces for different reasons. ------------- Check out my FREE album: A one-man project The Distant Dynasty |

"Karlstad" is my fave, too. The reality is that most of their works are excellent and rather unique. I am especially fond of the Live performances with plenty of grunt in the '70s. More recent releases are somewhat refined and laid back in comparison, but still quality music, no doubt. |

| I think according to the site I posted there is quite a bit of their live music archived. Hopefully it will be released. |

Well, I "hope" not too soon... (just kidding). I am still struggling with getting through the bonus material alone on the 22 disc "Anthology - which is not even their complete discography. Some of the material is really good, too! And that's before some archive recordings by Polish, Czech and DDR broadcasts from around '73-'74. Again, some great gems there and to date, only heard on radio, perhaps once - if at all.

no, this is the FAKE stuff, avoid; I'm sure that guys from SBB don't know it and don't have anything common with things like this;  -------------

SBB is a great band. Jozek Skrzek also has some brilliant solo/live albums to his credit like Pamietnik Karoliny, Koncert Swietokrzyski, and Czas (with Michal Banasik) where he goes nuts on his Moog synths. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Which box-set? What does it include? I still have to get some albums of theirs, and this might just as well be the right way, if it includes at least their best albums (I'm guessing they must be from the 70's). |

| It's the SBB Anthology 1974-2004? It seems a bit expensive... but given the amount of albums it includes I guess it's not really expensive at all. It seems one would get just about everything needed from the band and more. I might consider it, for getting 3 or 5 albums trying to get the best ones might cost just about the same. I just hope that when I'm ready to buy it it may still be available at about the same price. Also, I don't know where you got it, for I would try looking for it on Amazon, I guess I do so later today and see what I find. |

| I know just about nothing from SBB, but someone posted one or two songs from them on a thread I did about prog not in english a few years ago and that was perhaps the band I liked the best. At least among the ones I didn't know already. So I'm interested in getting some of it... it might be a long way to end up getting such a box-set, but I just might... though it might take me one or two years more. And yeah, I like the prog giants, really, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, VDGG, Gentle Giant, Camel, Renaissance, some RPI, Dream Theater and some more Prog Metal, Marillion, Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson, I've been trying to get a few album not in english, like Anglagard, Triana, Cast, Elfońa. And I'm surely missing many other things. |

Their name is S.B.B.
It stands for Silesian Blues Band, but that was a long time ago. Everybody, including themselves, call them SBB.....and yes if you're into classic prog, you definitely need to check em out  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

This is the only one I own courtesy of a friend who burned it for me a few years back.
I do like it but can't say I have a huge interest to explore more of their music.

Not exactly. They later changed the meaning of the acronym to Search, Break, Build (Szukaj, Burz, Buduj in Polish, so the acronym is the same in both languages). But, yes, they are commonly known as just SBB. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

SBB is quite a unique band and have a wealth of material. The studio albums are nearly always very good and the live sets are equally impressive, especially those recorded in the 1970s. Poland offers great progressive rock, but usually in the Neo or prog metal genre. SBB provide an Eclectic mix of experimental jazz fusion with symphonic prog. Perfect!!
Another interesting point is that the bonus tracks are very impressive. Not fillers or outtakes, but mainly from the rich archives. They become part of the album for the listener to enjoy. |

| "Memento" is a great epic IMO. This is the closest the band had ever gotten to being symphonic prog. |

I have loved these concerts released on the GAD label! What treasures they have unearthed. I have always loved the 1975 Karlstad concert, and the few songs from the Kolback concert the next night on the CD reissue were tantalizing. Now this new release Karlstad 1975 Plus includes the entire Karlstad, Kolback, and Sundsvall concerts! Coming on the heels of the monster Hofors 1975 released a couple years ago... wow what a tour! Constant improvisation, they never played the same thing from night to night. What a great band. Edit: I got so excited to post I forgot to mention these as well: Warszawa 1980 reissued this year, great recordings of the quartet Live Jazz Nad Odra 1975, a couple months before the Sweden tour. ------------- "I have seen the broken sky turn blue." http://gnosis2000.net/ratertodd.shtml" rel="nofollow - My Gnosis Ratings |
