OSSIAN-S/T (AKA KSIEGA DESZCZU), LP, 1975, POLAND

A truly stunning weave of psychedelic avant ethno improvisations and compositions with powerful ritualistic overtones are on offer from this landmark Polish outfit, here with their debut recording. You could situate the sonics on this outing somewhere between the the Italians in Aktuala and Finland's Piirpauke, but overlaid with a spectral and eerie air that's theirs alone. It's a heady brew and one that created the precise template for celebrated latter day Polish units like Atman and their descendants The Magic Carpathians.
