Weekend is here and once again I beam myself to sunny Spain where find once again an interesting band. Polansky Y El Ardor was a punk/wave group from Madrid, formed in 1981 and after several changes the constant line-up were Victor (vox + guitar), Carlos (sax + keys), Sebastian (bass) and Pejo (drums) and they became one of the greatest representatives of the Spanish punk era. Their sound is a fine mix of post-punk and new wave and the saxophone here is partly annoying, it's just not a Punky instrument but sometimes it's ok. Their were sometimes ironic, sometimes absurd. The Spanish label Spansuls Records pay attention and quick a deal was made and after a few demos they published in late 1982 a 12Inch 'Ataque Preventivo De La URSS' which ultimately would be a great success. In the same year they won a rock contest in Madrid-Region and they signed a contract with the record label Ariola. In 1983 the first album Chantaje Emocional was released and a tour through Spain follows until 1984. Ariola rejected the band and the songs which were recorded sink into the no man's land. So the band finally made the decision to dissolve in mid 1984. Musikra Records choose two songs, El Preventivo (an early version of Ataque De La URSS) and La Noche (Unreleased), for the 'La Movida Madrileña' compilation (has this record anyone??). 2001 came out a superfluous CD on BMG. Those were the words, now click and listen to music!
