Various - MiniMax 2 Piotr Kaczkowski Przedstawia

Review by Eder Zuca

MiniMax 2: Piotr Kaczkowski Przedstawia – A Polish Gem That Still Resonates You ever stumble across one of those albums that feels like it was made just for you? Like, holy smokes, how did this thing exist all these years without me knowing about it? That's MiniMax 2, a quirky little compilation from 2000 put together by Polish radio legend Piotr Kaczkowski. It’s not perfect, but man, does it pack a punch. With genres bouncing between Pop, Rock, and Electronic—and styles as wild as Hard Rock, Goth Rock, and New Wave—it’s basically a chaotic jukebox of cool. The album drops some serious bangers, but two tracks stuck in my head like gum under a school desk: “This Corrosion” and “Parisienne Walkways (Live).” Let me tell ya why. First up, “This Corrosion.” If you’ve never heard The Sisters of Mercy before, buckle up, because this track is an absolute beast. It starts with dramatic strings that sound like they’re straight outta a vampire movie soundtrack—super gothy, super moody. Then BOOM, Andrew Eldritch’s voice comes in, dripping with attitude, and suddenly you’re transported to some foggy underground club where everyone wears black eyeliner and stares moodily into their drinks. The chorus explodes into this massive, anthemic moment that makes you wanna throw your fists in the air and scream along—even if you don’t know what he’s singing half the time. I mean, c’mon, who doesn’t love a song that sounds like both a funeral march AND a party anthem? Then there’s “Parisienne Walkways (Live)” by Gary Moore. Oh man, this one hits different. It’s got that bluesy rock vibe that just wraps around you like a warm blanket—or maybe more like someone whispering sweet nothings into your ear while shredding on guitar. Seriously, Moore’s solo here? Unreal. You can practically feel the sweat dripping off his fingers as he tears through the strings. And the live energy? Insane. It’s one of those songs where you forget everything else going on around you because you’re too busy losing yourself in the music. Plus, let’s be real—the dude knew how to make heartbreak sound sexy. Now, sure, not every track on MiniMax 2 is gonna blow your mind. Some are kinda meh, others take a few listens to grow on you. But hey, isn’t that life? Not every day is fireworks and rainbows, right? What makes this album special is its unpredictability. One minute you’re vibing to synth-heavy New Wave goodness, and the next you’re headbanging to gritty Alternative Rock riffs. It’s messy, sure, but also kinda beautiful in its own weird way. And honestly, I think that’s what Piotr Kaczkowski was going for when he compiled this thing. It’s like flipping through channels late at night—you never know what you’ll find, but sometimes you hit gold. Released back in 2000 by Sonic Records, MiniMax 2 might feel dated now, but it still holds up as a snapshot of Poland’s eclectic musical scene during that era. So yeah, give it a spin if you’re feeling adventurous. Just don’t blame me if “This Corrosion” ends up haunting your dreams—or if you start randomly humming “Parisienne Walkways” during awkward silences. Oh, and here’s a random thought to leave you with: Did anyone else notice how many of these songs could double as themes for obscure European detective shows? No? Just me? Cool, cool. Carry on.

Here’s something cool: The album *MiniMax 2 Piotr Kaczkowski Przedstawia* is like a musical time capsule from Poland in 2000. It’s not just one genre or style—it’s a mix of everything from Hard Rock to Goth Rock, Pop Rock to New Wave. Compiled by Piotr Kaczkowski, it’s bursting with variety. You’ve got tracks like *This Corrosion* by The Sisters of Mercy and *Parisienne Walkways* (a live version!) by Gary Moore. There’s even a Polish gem, *Blaszany Parowiec*. It’s like a playlist made by someone who just loves music and wants you to hear the best of it. Sonic Records really nailed it with this release.

This is one of the most lovely tunes I have ever heard, and yet I feel that Jobson doesn't make as much out of it as he could've done.

Sometimes,not often,it happens that someone's genius departs from the roads well traveled and takes us on a journey known only to him.This song is one of those.First time I heard it in Bosnia in 1980.It still has the same magic.
