New album of a band Fate Unknown –„Pure Organic” (released under River's Edge patronage) is now available at http://www.fateunknown.pl/ site. On this album you can find 10 raw-sounding tracks influenced by thrash, death and even black metal. Pure Organic is also a melody and progress. The band determine this record as complicated but also with coherent music structure giving a lot of energy by dynamic and tempo which is the main domain of the album.

It was a great show of Samantha Fox and Suzi Quatro in the last day of April 2011 in Poland! Unforgettable meeting with Samantha, fantastic performance, everything what is needed for a fan!

What more to say? Just read a report from concert full of photos and recordings. Have fun and spread the link worldwide! Samantha - thank you for a fantastic concert!

How it is possible? I just cannot believe that he is gone… Arman was one of best Commodore 64 composers. He was also doing chillout music (http://www.myspace.com/abehdad) and also started to make DJ set with this kind of music.

I met with his creation in 1999 and immediately went crazy about it. I even used one of his tunes in intro to my C64 production. Two years later we met for the first time on IRC. As he declared I was one and only of his fans (!). He gave to me an exclusive tune which I've used in another Tropyx production. In next years we were talking occassionally on web and finally we met eye to eye in 2010. It was unforgettable meeting. First and last one… ;(

Rest in peace master, I'll be missing you…

Traditionally for all actual and new readers of the River's Edge project I would like to wish a happy, joyous and full of positive events New Year 2010! For the wishes I'm also adding a small movie which illustrates how people welcomed 2011 year in a Szczecin's district called Wielgowo.

The past year was for River's Edge really abundant with different events. First of all on site appeared more than 30 reports from concerts along with more other reports and few interesting interviews and records reviews (but actually most of them were published only in Polish language). Moreover author of this project supported actions of rescuing SCK Kontrasty club from closing and Grüneberg Villa from destroying (both projects were successful).

In 2010 River's Edge also took over the patronage on 4 concerts and one record and also expanded the list of bands and music artists with which he started cooperation.

Thanking you for past interest I hope that in the new year on the website there will be another, equally interesting so far, publications. And invite you to read them all! ;) All the best!

Ocalmy Zabytek (Save the Monument) initiative with River's Edge project as the first media gives to you a new information about Grüneberg Villa in Szczecin, Poland! With the decision of the Regional Conservator of Monuments the building was entered into the Register of Monuments under number A-762!

We would like to thank everyone who supported our efforts to save the monument from destroy. Primarily everyone who sent letters to Ministry and who supported us at Facebook.

This is a crucial moment if the history of saving the monuments which prove that always we have to fight till the end!

Let this information be your best Christmas gift!

This time I have something special mainly for people related with Commodore 64 computer and also with computer scene, but not only. :) I'm presenting really exensive and interesting interview with Taxim - a man who get famous on C64 scene mainly cause of unique compositions which connects SID sounds with digi samples. He was also a creator of first C64 remixes of soundtrack from games, which were released under name „SynthieTrax”.

For the relaxion I'm sharing with calendar which means list of most inportant events and achieves of River's Edge project. I hope that this list will be successfully growing up . :) Calendar is available on the link below and also under drop-down Start menu.

Since today you can also listen music on River's Edge pages. Unfortunately the music player works yet only on Polish version of the site (dunno why), so just be patient.

Yesterday in Polish media appeared sad news about the death of Gayga, popular singer of the 80's. She cooperated with Din band and her most famous songs was „Ja ruchomy cel” and „Graj nie załuj strun”. In the 90's she was creating dance music under MC Diva pseudonym and her most recognizable track was „Dziewczyna z St.Pauli”. Her unique style and artistic creativity will stay forever in our minds. R.I.P.

Promised changes on this page for some time were finally fulfilled. Their announcement was the emergence of a new logo-watemark on photos from previous reports.

Since today River's Edge project has officially new graphic design and logo visible at the upper left corner! Everything was made by 2 persons. First of them is a man who is known as Odyn. He made a new design and made the logo. Everything is kept of course in 8-bit mood what follows with one of my long-term passions. :)

Implementations of a new graphic design to Dokuwiki system was made by Rafal Szyja (his website - KLIKNIJ) who additionally programmed sliding menu. It would replace the existing one, but the left sidebar menu will still be functional and will include new details. I would like to thank both persons for the execution of a piece of good work!

Since the new desing is still in the process of tests there is a possibility, that something can not yet work properly. However, all was verified on a number of popular browsers and everything worked fine. :) There is still a number of pages to update, for example by removing the old logo etc.

I would like to notice, that because of technical reasons it is recommended to watch this page in minimal horizontal resolution of 1280 pixels.

So I invite you to become acquainted with the new visual design! Also coming soon … more publications!

Mr. Waldemar was a pioneer of those tapes, moreover he sold probably biggest amount of them (a few hundred thousands) from all of the people and companies which were doing the same around breakthrough of 80's and 90's!
