Yeah... I live in Wroclaw and the breath of the extreme, violent past strikes me each time I visit Warsaw on business. The whole left-bank city actually, are rebuilt 'old' fakes. But again somehow it's Warsaw not Cracow that stole my heart (Wroclaw is out of contest of course ;). I think it's Warsaw Uprisings that really move me.

As far as Warsaw Uprising and music are concerned - here you have links to fragments of songs of Polish rock band Lao Che from their album "Powstanie Warszawskie" (Warsaw Uprising).

It's just amazing, simply stunning - a mixture of hard-core music, texts from insurgents' songs and poems and original archived records.
I'm a 34 old year man, but - when I bought the record and listened for the fist time - I was almost crying.
