This is a phenomenal 2 CD archive retrospective of live recordings by the Polish musician Czeslaw Niemen, performing solo using an array of keyboards and other electronic devices and singing. The material originates mainly from the "Terra Deflorata" album (as the title suggests) on CD 1, which was recorded in 1984 and other later material on CD 2, which was recorded in 1986. All the material is of course superbly performed.
