Staggeringly unique and desirable ten-inch on Obuh Records (cat. no. V14) from mysterious Polish neofolk troupe Księżyc. Handmade cover and hand-numbered limited edition (no. 110 of 333). Very unusual to find one of these in such superb condition - the vinyl plays NM but because of one tiny hairline mark visible under strong light I'm giving it a conservative grading of EX+. Difficult to grade the cover as it was handmade from natural paper and was a little wavy and uneven when new. I give it an EX.

Michael J. Salo wrote in 2005: "I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for this release. I love this music. The best I can try to explain Ksiezyc ("Moon") is some blend of the romantic-acoustic-ballad Prikosnovenie school groups such as Fleur, together with the psychedelic experimentalism of the great Polish acts Atman & Magic Carpathians. I'm also getting a Jack or Jive vibe out of this (a Polish Jack or Jive?) Anyone interested in any of the above references should acquire this album without hesitation. The female vocals are higher quality than 90% of music recorded today, and meanwhile there is more careful attention to instrumental sonics than you could ever expect in vocally-oriented music. Available information in English on this group is scant, but this release is apparently a collection of all their recorded music, which dates back to the early 90's. Who knew? It's tempting to declare "ahead of their time," but that wouldn't be quite right. Instead this band is completely removed from time. This is timeless. A hand numbered limited edition item, in appropriately unique & beautiful handmade packaging. Talk about a gem. Great ethereal folkish weirdness sometimes reminding me of Coil, Meredith Monk and Za Siodma Gora."
