These two albums are not directly related, but I'm posting them together because they basically ended the glorious Polish progressive rock season. Their atmospheric, tecnological sound somehow predated the British neo-prog movement. 
Both Exodus and SBB disbanded after these albums, only to reunite in the following decades.
