Obudź Się

Liner Notes taken from the labels Bandcamp website: Idée Fixe was one of those bands that got loud in the 1980s. They gave concerts with many recognized formations, were present at three Festivals in Jarocin, and recorded two tracks in the studio. However, they didn't even get a single - it's high time to wake up and fill the blank spot in the history of Polish rock. "Obudź Się" is an extensive anthology showing the entire career of the band, which could do much more - the more that its musicians shared one stage or performed in groups such as Roxa, Róże Europy, Sztywny Pal Asia or Piersi. Idee Fixe played new wave, hit and colorful, which is perfectly confirmed by two studio recordings made at the very end of their activity, in 1990. The basic content of the album is filled with their competitions in Jarocin (1984-85), and the whole is supplemented by demo sessions. The material appears on a record for the first time, remastered from the original reel tapes and cassettes from the band's archives and the Robert Jarosz's Trasa W-Z archive. In the booklet there was an extensive conversation of the musicians about the band's activities and unpublished photos.
