Igor Boxx (PL)

Breslau is among the most important Polish albums released in 2010. Is it Poland’s answer to the soaring musical concept work of Kraftwerk and Lou Reed? No — there’s nothing megalomanic about it. This story about about the dramatic, war-time history of Wrocław, written by Skalpel’s Igor Pudło, stands up to other outstanding records, but similarly demands time and involvement on the part of listeners. The live version is even more involving and addictive.
