Never imagined it would be this good

"This is the "best of" compilation of one of Poland's most popular bands. The style is very much upbeat adult contemporary using a lot of synth, but with a sometimes jazzy and sometimes rock angle to various tracks. The vocals are male. At first, only about ten of the fifteen tracks appealed to me, but I found that the album very much grew on me and I now enjoy it from start to finish.Since I do understand the Polish lyrics, I am unable to attest as to whether someone who cannot understand them would still enjoy the album. Then again, the quality of the tunes, their musical execution and production is really good, so at the worst this album would serve really well as background music.This is a definite recommendation to both the Polish speaking and the general audience. Their other albums are also worthwhile, but definitely get this first to obtain an overview of their work. The pick of the CD must be tracks two and three - "Ostatni Pocalunek" (The Last Kiss), and "Zakleci W Tancu" (Bewitched In A Dance). Get it if you can."
