Enlisting many of his former bandmates including singer Robert Amirian, Satellite has created a fine nice melodic prog album in the slibstream of Marillion & the good old Genesis.

Nostalgia ('09) is the follow up to the highly acclaimed album “Into The Night” from 2007. As the band claims, it's their fourth and most mature offering. Most of the album was recorded in Wojtek Szadkowski’s home studio. He is also responsible for the music and lyrics for "Nostalgia". The album features 7 atmospheric compositions, full of beautiful arrangements with subtle yet powerful sounds. The music offered on the new album is a combination of the sound of the 70’s with the modern 21st century sound. The lyrics relate to each other in a loose manner - they're about coming to terms with the past, about the need for a change, starting anew, distancing oneself to one's own past. At the same time, ironically, the music on "Nostalgia" manifests a longing for the mood of the 70's and 80's.

STRAWBERRY FIELD

Wojtek Szadkowski known also from Collage (Marek Gil- Guitar, Przemek Zawadzki - Bass, Tomek Rozycki - Vocals & Wojtek Szadkowskie - Drums) & Peter Pan has a new project called Strawberry Fields.
With; Robin (Marta Kniewska) - vocals,
Sarhan Kubeisi (Satellite) guitar,
Jarek Michalski (Satellite) -bass,
Krzysiek Palczewski (Satellite) - keyboards,
and Wojtek Szadkowski - drums.

Robin:

“This album is my debut as a singer and lyrics writer. It’s a new and thrilling experience for me. Writing lyrics makes you a part of the song, makes the song a part of you. I wanted them to be a part of me. All lyrics are about things that I find important at this stage of my life, things that made me the person I am now. Most, but not all, of them are based on my own experience and reflect the thoughts that have been haunting me for a long time and which I have had no opportunity to reveal or would not normally reveal. They refer to the existential unrest, end of earthly life and immense longing for reconciliation. Writing these lyrics made me feel relieved to some extent, as if through them I could reach the ones they are addressed to. But there are also some more optimistic ones, which praise human relations as the mainstay.”

BELIEVE

The band, created by guitarist Mirek Gil, should be known already by fans of Collage and Satellite. Not only was Mirek a founding member and main song writer of Collage, but he played with Satellite as well (on their debut album). For his new band he recruited former Satellite bassist Przemas Zawadzki (bass guitar), Tomek Rozycki (vocals, guitars), Adam Milosz (keyboards), Wlodek Tafel (drums) and Satomi (violin).
Believe’s debut album Hope to See Another Day (2006) received very good reviews from both media and fans. The music appealed to the lovers of the old Collage but also to the fans of Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd and… Riverside.

The follow-up album entitled Yesterday Is A Friend brought a powerful sound full of faith and melody with some hidden flavors.

Believe's first DVD entitled Hope To See Another Day Live was released by Metal Mind Productions !!! in July 2008. The setlist for the show recorded in November 2007 (Wyspanski Theater in Katowice, Poland) included songs from the debut album "Hope to See Another Day" plus a song from "Yesterday Is a Friend" as also a song from Mr. Gil's repertoire. DVD also included an interview with Mirek Gil and Tomek Rózycki, photo gallery, 2 bonus audio tracks (taken from the "Yesterday is a Friend" album), Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound and more!

At the end of 2008 Believe changed it's line-up. The band has begun a new era with a new vocalist – Karol Wróblewski.

Now they are woring on a new album:

Mirek Gil (ex-Collage, ex-Mr. Gil, guitars),
Karol Wróblewski (vocals, flute, keyboards),
Przemas Zawadzki (ex-Collage, bass guitar),
Satomi (violin), and
Vlodi Tafel (drums & percussion).
