... Ptaky which leader is Piotr Lukaszewski IRA's ex-guitarist from their best time has spread out their wings in 2004 year. In that moment the song " Chron to co masz" (Protect what you got) has been placed on "Spiderman 2" soundtrack. In this same year they had good position thanks their debut album. Their second album "Szkola latania"(School of flying). Ptaky has released only by mp3. At last in this year they have released on CD in some different version. Like in first album the band prefers peacefull lyrics and loud, melodic, suitable for radio, refrains which are watched with dirty and heavy riffs. Plus there have sometimes fun with electronics.
They have starting with acousting guitars which got some oriental climates. This can reminds "Jaszczur" (Lizard) from first album. However instrumental song "CoeXisT" is only used as an intro. In song "Kaznodzieja"( The Preacher) we can hear heavy and fast guitars' playing. The lyrics are standard slowly but refrain is shocking heavy. We can hear also a lot of electronic background. There is hard, postgrunge playing too with epic pieces like "Sa takie dni" (There are some days).
However... the lovely melody and effective used piano in "Boja sie ludzie" (The people fear) are one of the most inspiration piece of whole album. The fantastic coda is also a worth hearing thing in album... - Lukasz Wewior / translate Izabela Sladewska
