Kroke: The Sounds Of The Vanishing World

This may sound like a manifesto aimed at saving things of value, because yes, in a world of unlimited communication and millenium hysteria, Kroke do want us to think about things that are really important in life: Earth, Water, Fire or Love, for example, to mention titles on this CD.
Last but not least it should be mentioned that this Kroke CD, like their three previous ones, was produced in Krakow. This city itself is a symbol of a disappearing world. Yet the city's long history provides its lively cultural life with inspiration. Kroke is proof enough of the vitality, variety and ability to innovate that characterises polish culture at this time.
