Reminiscencje, Warszawa

Reminiscencje is a Warszafski Deszcz album built from previously unreleased recordings. Its fan-created cover combines selected contest entries, while its free online release attracted a large audience and helped prompt the group’s return.

Reminiscencje is Warszafski Deszcz’s second album, released in 2010. It gathers music the group had recorded in 2000 but had not previously put out. The title fits a return to an earlier creative moment: these are sounds held back, then brought into public hearing after a long gap.

Its cover has a collective origin. The band invited fans to enter a contest for the album artwork. Rather than selecting a sole winner, it built the sleeve from sixteen entries the group considered its strongest choices.

That approach turns the packaging into a small gallery of listener participation, not merely a label around the music. Reminiscencje was offered online free of charge and drew more than two hundred thousand downloads. Its warm reception encouraged Tede and Numer Raz to reactivate Warszafski Deszcz.

The revived group followed with Powrócifszy... in 2009. So this album does not only preserve material from an earlier phase; it becomes the spark that brings the act back into motion.
