Za Siódmą Górą - Clean & Unclean

 

Polish industrial band covers a tune by Neil Megson's pop combo on one side, recorded live in 1991. Released as a 12" on Obuh Records the same year, then a little later as a cassingle.

Detachment & McMarian - Cienie

 

Split cassette of Polish industrial obscurities from 1988, released on the A.R.S label. I don't think McMarian's side was included on the Impulsy Stetoskopyu 3xCD set, but I could be wrong.

McMarian - Wyjechał (Give Noise A Chance)

 

Triple-CD retrospective of mid-1980s industrial duo McMarian, recorded between 1986 and 1989. I don't think these recordings were widely released when the band was active. Discogs only lists this collection and a split cassette with Detachment. The set was part of Impulsy Stetoskopu's "Archive of Polish Industrial Music" series, which also unearthed noise by Wahehe (who was sometimes involved with McMarian), Soma-Structure, Szelest Spadających Papierków and more.
