The controversial British writer Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) is increasingly recognized as a major presence in early twentieth-century literature.

Composing over 150 works for piano and voice over a period of 44 years, the songs of Francis Poulenc remain consistently popular to concert audiences the world over. Varying in their individual style and character in a way that defies generalization, Poulenc set music to a wide range of different French poetry – both ancient and modern, and from the serious to the surreal. This is the fourth release in our series that will build to encompass the complete songs of Francis Poulenc – performed by some of the greatest singers of the day and accompanied by the exceptional Malcolm Martineau.

The band was formed in 1990 in Bielsko-Biała on the initiative of the vocalist Damian Bydliński and the guitarist Mirosław Worek. The ensemble was complemented by: the keyboardist Andrzej Jancza, the bass guitarist Janusz Tanistra and the drummer Mariusz Szulakowski. Right from the start, their music was inspired by such bands as Emerson, Lake & Palmer, UK and King Crimson (the bandís name directly refers to King Crimsonís third album). The first six years of the bandís activity was focused on demo recording and playing as many concerts as possible. 1996 brought a breakthrough in their career - the band signed a contract with Ars Mundi Publishing House and a debut album under the title "In the Gallery of Time" was released.
