Love it or hate it! The finest selection of polish music now on one album. As usual in case of "The best of..." compilations everyone can find something to suit his or her taste. What we have here is 20 top polish hits performed by 20 artists. They prefer to stay anonymous to keep you focused on these great tracks that are presented in modern versions to reveal their hidden beauty. They sometimes differ a lot from original versions what for many conservative listeners may come as a shock but it's still an essential collection for every music lover.
Now a little bit more serious... 20 anonymous polish artist smashes 20 polish top hits transforming pop s**t into modern avantgarde music. The idea of plunderphonics is here expanded from just messing with bits and pieces of original tracks to creating some good music from unpleasant pop sounds. So except mashups you get some breakcore, ambient, digital hardcore, noise and many other unclassified forms. Your mom won't like it.
"(...) There hasn't been much lately in electronic music that has really made me stand at attention until this release peaked my interest in a huge way.
The entire album plays on a downbeat mood. I feel like much more time and effort was spent on artistic value within the album rather than trying to make an album that people want to dance to. Thus, a very intelligent album was created in "The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz ...Ever!" I found myself becoming extremely relaxed while listening to the tracks and didn't feel overwhelmed with a multitude of sampling complexity. Though I'm sure much of what they've done is complex, it never feels like you need to rack your brain for answers. Most of the songs start off vamping on a single note or interval that resonates throughout the entire song while subtle melodies play in the background accompanied by clever drum fills. The complexity of the album is in what is sampled rather than the album's actual sound.
Recycling Records actually deconstructs songs such as a pop-rock ballad and from those deconstructed files, he creates the ambient sounds that you hear on the record. The mood of the album is also extremely unique to any electronic album I've ever given my attention to. Though other artists such as Bonobo or Amon Tobin have a lot of slow-paced songs of their own, especially the former of the two, neither of them pay as much attention to the ambient noise like Recycling Records does.
If you're into electronic music, "The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz ...Ever!" is definitely a must-have in your music collection. It would even be interesting for a pop-rock fan to get their hands on to try and figure out what songs have been deconstructed. Recycling Records truly has done something entirely unique with "The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz ...Ever!" and for once the listeners are able to feel the difference rather than having to listen intently for it.(...)"
