ODDZIAŁ ZAMKNIĘTY - "ODDZIAŁ ZAMKNIĘTY" (1984)

This is Oddział Zamknięty's debut album. Recorded in a number of different sessions between in 1982 and 1983, with singer Christopher Jaryczewski and guitar player Wojciech Łuczaj-Pogorzelski as the only constant members, it has sold 250.000 copies in just one year, and generated a bunch of Polish rock classics.

It's hard to understand their music style, as the band liked to jump over the barriers: "Obudź się" is a power ballad in the wake of Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Twój każdy krok" is a dynamic reggae-rock hybrid, while "Ten wasz świat" and "Andzia i ja" are a sort of evoluted punk-pop songs. Nonetheless, you will notice that the album sounds surplisingly solid, because of the constance of its guitar sound, a not-so-heavy metal flavour which the band managed to adapt to every situation they faced. 

P.S. I've added "Kto tu mierzy czas" as a bonus track. It was released as a B-side in 1983.
