Deuter – "Demos 1981-1984" Lp

(white vinyl)

Deuter, next to Dezerter and Tsn Xenny was the driving force behind the second wave of Warsaw punk rock in the early 80. s and one of the most significant bands in the Polish punk scene at the time.

Both musically and lyrically, Deuter's recordings had a powerful emotional load and after more than thirty years after their recordings, they lost nothing of their power. Waiter's excellent texts perfectly and accurately described the grim and aggressive reality of the PRL. They are a valuable testament to the individual's findings in an oppressive system, the recovery of a free space taken by military blocks inevitably heading towards a nuclear confrontation. The band with no resistance calling things by name, automatically deprived themselves of the chance to release a record in an inevitable censorship skirmish. Such a strong anti-system message made an incredible impression at the time and although it was about a particular time and place, it is timeless and still valid despite the fact that the systems, governments and faces of politicians are constantly changing. Deuter was a band whose artistic sense reaches further than music and lyrics. The creation of collages, manifestos, leaflets, zines or experimentation with performance art and theatre proves how multi-plane the nature of this formation was.

The 1981-1984 s record record includes the following material: a demo with four songs recorded at the Riviera-Renovation club in 1981, two pieces recorded in Circular in 1982 and five numbers recorded in the basement of Hybrid in 1984. Instrumental track with this session was recorded especially for the Movement Academy and used in one of its performances. Due to the existence of many songs in the band's repertoire, which never got their studio versions, there are also pieces of concert records from Warsaw - three songs from 1982 and two of 1984. The sessions posted have never been published on the vinyl record before , and some of them were not published in any format.

The album includes an insert with lyrics and a 20 page booklet with collages, manifesto graphics, translations of texts and lots of archival photos by min. Micha ała Was ążnik and Anne ′′ Ady ′′ Lyons.

Attention! Attention! Face masks! The super world of nuclear age ahead of you - one nine eight four!
