1982 LATE SHIFT
Released: October 4, 1982
Label: MSC
Format: 8- track, Cassette, LP, SACD
The EP saw a departure from the band's previous pop-folk style in favour of more new wave-oriented English lyric based music. It was recorded during the martial law in Poland and showcased political lyrics, all written by Gaweł Jedynak. NIGHT SHIFT met with positive critical reception and commercial success.[4] In early 1984, it was awarded certification for selling over 1,500 copies.[5] It spawned the minor local hits “Dance in the Fallout", “Arkanoid” and “Annabel”.

When I'm actually looking for retro eastern-block media this sort of reproduction-imitation stuff really doesn't help.
Sorry about that, hadn't considered the possibility. Do come back and post some when you have it
At least the genre isn't dead is how I see it
For people asking for information on this album, I believe it was created by the uploader(s) and not a piece of the time. I don't think (and hope it isn't) AI because while few, the uploader has some examples of their work before the AI boom. If you google this album, you're pretty much directed to a reddit thread calling this AI. But the artist(s) seems to have legitimate talent and I hope this is a legitimate work cause I do enjoy it quite a lot. There is a comment towards the bottom of this video also asking if this is fake and the uploader explains this was an art piece for pop music of the era. I think there are larpers in the comments lol. Hope this clears some stuff up. I get being mostly quiet to leave the piece speak for itself but I don't think you want people calling your art fake either, I know I wouldn't at least. Hopefully I'm not giving too much benefit of the doubt, again really enjoy this and really want it to be real. That's the era we live in I suppose.
Hey Jackknife, thanks for your comment. Yes, it's a sign of the times that people don't know if works are A.I. or not. I also catch myself questioning recently uploaded albums I see on RUclips so I understand. You'll see in the Channel info that myself and my two buddies use this channel to share our mad music projects which we've been doing in our spare time under the name FIVE-Ø since waay back in the mid nineties on an MT-50 four track recorder, you can hear many of those pieces in the recent 'FOUR TRACK BOYS' Alt-Folk upload. And for a deep dive behind the curtain, we have a site where we keep most of our track/demos including many chord/lead sheets - you're welcome to check it out - bx9y0.glideapp.io/dl/da19fa/s/f9f675/r/5Tr0JdnXsYxfaLIs4Efc So we write all the songs old-school style, pen and paper/instrument on lap. We play all the real instruments [guitars, bass, keys, percussion, vocals etc..]. Due to the diversity of styles we enjoy doing, we could never really find a way to present ourselves as one coherent band etc.. So Magnetic State Studios was born as a way to get it all out there somehow under a concept. The whole back story thing is, for us, part of the experience/art [Like the Rutles for example] as the resources of each project are limited to those a recording artist would have had in the Year presented as well as denoting a style typical of the time. Any work labelled post-1995 is often legit from that year. Anything before that is artistic license, you might say [we weren't around in the sixties]. Anyway, you can imagine that once A.I. suddenly appeared eg Udio or Suno then a project like this was ripe for suspicion unfortunately which is reasonable I guess, but it rather casts a shade over what we believe is a pretty insane work ethic on our part. But we do it for the joy of the project and people seem to be really enjoying some of the albums, so we don't mind too much we just hate to think that people think we're trying to trick them somehow. If you search the videos that pre-date the project, you'll actually see me screwing around with the MT-50 with one of our first ever test-recordings on it. Regarding Udio and Suno, both sites went live to the public a few months after Humanoid was uploaded, thank goodness. So it wouldn't have been possible yet. For what it's worth, we hereby declare that we wrote and played every note on this channel. The notated pieces scored out [Finale/Sibelius/Musescore] use VST instruments when we can't use a real ones. I had rather hoped not to chime in to the converstation as I thought that kinda spoiled the vibe/mystique a little but I felt some clarity was needed since the A.I. thing. Forgive my rambling verbosity and thanks for your interest, Your friends at Magnetic State Studios/FIVE-Ø
@@MSTL144 I figured part of your silence was the mystique of the piece for sure, but I'm also very glad you clarified!! Your music is awesome and I'm glad it's getting recognized, sorry it's getting pinned as AI. That can't be an easy thing to go through as an artist, and as one I feel you for that. Have a great one guys, great work again!!
@@MSTL144 I love this so much, it unintentionally inspired me to want to do exactly what you've done before I realized what you did. It's absolutely brilliant - to come up with some lore about the album and use broke wiki-style references in the description. And to add the scuffing to the audio to give it the feeling of some moldy AF tape you found in a gutter somewhere. It's honestly an absolutely beautiful work of art, and if it wasn't for the 3 bonus songs on Bandcamp it would have been even more difficult to determine for sure that this was a modern album in disguise. And the only reason why the bonus tracks made me wonder that is because, well, why wouldn't they be here too if this was a legit "lost album" rip.
@wardrich Thanks so much for your comment. We're stoked you enjoyed the Album. We see these works as art pieces. In a similar way to how Popart movement reused objects and images through collage or reinterpretation we reuse 'time' and repaint it with our own original musical works.
We included the three bonus songs on bandcamp as we reckoned people deserve something special in addition to the lyrics if they're willing to pay €3 [a fund we use to make future projects possible]. Also the bonus tracks are from the same recording sessions/sentiment as the other tracks so in that way they're totally legit.
That all being said, we're delighted you're inspired. That's the best compliment you could give. When its ready, do send a link to your project in the comments and I'll pin it to the top for a week or two. Good luck!
@@MSTL144 I dunno how long it'll take me to put together - I'm musically inclined by ear, but I have some synths and things. Could be a good excuse to finally learn Reason and Ableton, too loo. When it happens I'll definitely let you know!
I've been listening to this album a few times a day since I grabbed it on Bandcamp. I can get about 2 plays each way on my trips to and from work. I have it going through my Spotify local tracks, but I should play through Bandcamp - especially if it keeps track of total plays. I Need to find an older car with a tape deck next 🤣
this music feels like im sitting at the bar watching other people have fun
Story of my life, I feel you.
i remember this... heard late shift in '84 on a banged up radio while high off my head... been searchin for it ever since thanks 🇵🇱🇵🇱
It's the only way to really appreciate it! Kudos :)
I walked home alone at night while listening to "Late Shift" after working a late shift. Probably one of the most cinematic and melancholy moments I've ever had irl
That sounds awesome, I remember experiencing that back in the day in Berlin. It's profound when it hits right. Very happy the music could give you that feeling. :)
Is there a track listing or more info about this band anywhere? I can't find anything
Excuse my delay getting back to you : magstat.bandcamp.com/album/late-shift
I saw Humanoid play in Berlin in 1983. Just before Pavel left to start Santakraut. Great to hear them again after all these years.
I have a worn out Santakruat 7" somewhere in the Magnetic State Dungeons, I'll try and get it posted if I can find it.
I swear I remember hearing one of these songs on my father's old walkman. No idea where it or the tape is now. Didnt think there was 150,000 copies sold. Maybe thats a typo. Love from france 🇫🇷
the sound of lostwave
is there any link to NIGHT SHIFT? 150,000 copies sold is a lot of copies to sell and then just not exist on the internet. is there any more information on this band or NIGHT SHIFT?
The music is absolutely great, however I wish there was more thought put into the lore of the fake band.
There was no chance to sell this many records in Poland in those times because of a deep economic crisis. People could barely afford basic necessities, music records were a luxury at that time. Not to mention that political lyrics would be subject to censorship in those times, especially during martial law. Barely any band recorded in English and if they did, it was aimed for the foreign market (usually UK or Germany) and their English was utterly unintelligible. Unless the band is supposed to be Poles who had a career abroad because they emigrated (like Basia), then what's written in the description, simply doesn't add up.
The cover art though? 100% on point. If you ignore the font, it looks totally like a legit Tonpress single cover art. Amazing job!
I see that this project only really started 3 months ago, so there's plenty of room for growth, then. I love the concept and I'm really excited to see you guys make more music like this in the future. However, as I mentioned, for the lore to be effective, you have to delve a bit more into the nuances of the country's music scene at the time.
This dude could become a label for other artists who want to do similar and spawn an entire industry of "fantasy music" kinda like the "fantasy consoles" we have for programming like Pico-8, Tic80, PixelVision8, etc.
@@wardrich That would be an amazing project, I'd absolutely love to see that
funny thing to stumble upon this piece on my bday, been listening to it all day
Happy Birthday!!
The cover makes me think of Plague Dogs
Busdriver makes a little more sense now
Those were the days. Gawel Jedynak showed up on one of our gigs with Alpha Target and FortBS, we smoked some stuff and he improvised Bison on stage with us. Later we listened to some records of Holy Toy. We tried to call Lipinski, but he was not picking up....
So many records and music from those days went to ether not recorded or lost. It's a pity.
Listening it now after so many years I know we were up to something there. If this would be a normal country we would be remembered.
If what I heard about Alpha Target is true, you smoked some real sh*t that night. I'd give my eye-teeth to hear that version of 'Bison', who knows maybe it will turn up. It's time everyone remembered!
What's Alpha Target?
Dude you guys were about 20 years ahead of the curve with pop music. The third song on this cassette tape is something you'd literally hear today. And I mean that with total respect. This is ahead of its time!
@@mariuspoppFM Pretty much allstars "group" of experimental music in the region. We've met few times together after concerts to gig into the night. I was playing bass at the time in Obawy and had a chance to hit some keys and make few backing vocals in Alpha Target.
@@MilesanVictor That's great, thanks. Are there some tapes of your concerts?
Only ever heard about this band from my old and now long gone Serbian grandparents, so, it's weird to see this on youtube. Now I understand why this band was their one exception on hating the Polish!
I feel pretty much like that bear after listening
This is swag
A treasure to smoke and jam to this decades later, thank you !!
Thanks for listening ❤
Cant stop listening to this,Late Shift my fave.
Woah this is way under-rated, i had this in my “watch later” list for a while and was a bit confused until i read your reply to the pinned comment, Kickass music.
I saw Gaweł Jedynak live in 1951, he was already doing new wave! Stalinist police killed him, but in 1979 he got resurrected by John Paul II.
Facts!
Byłem wtedy dzieckiem i pamiętam wiele muzyki, która zaginęła w związku z powstaniem w PRL ruchu masowego „Solidarność” i wynikającym z tego stanem wojennym. Jedną z piosenek tutaj „Dance in the Fallout” na pewno słyszałem na kasecie, którą miał mój brat. To szaleństwo usłyszeć to ponownie po tylu latach. Mam nadzieję, że pojawią się inne zagubione zespoły!!
It feels as a supposed day of inappropriate behavior... fighting it by mood...i shouldn't... forgive the way?
Weird I found this after so long - I last saw Pawel in 2006 at a noosphere gig where revealed the origin of Arkanoid or Humanoid - Originally it was a song about Dune - Harkonoid (Polish spelling of Harkonnen) or Humanoid their producer a Yorkshire man by the name of Paisley Green? suggested dropping the H as the words were too similar and thus a hit was born.
Always mystified me as obviously the song predates the game Arkanoid by several years and the song was perhaps a direct inspiration.
Just a tid bit I thought I'd share after all these years!

Beautiful. 👏🫶🥹
what the hell this is so good
Thank you, it was made for one such as you to enjoy!🎉
Love this book as well, Sirius by Olaf Stapledon
Trippy
Can you please provide lyrics for ARKANOID, I'd be vert grateful
Hey, no problem. Though they are weird as heck!
ARKANOID
Arkanoid, in shame we become Arkanoid.
For shame for shame, we overshadow the contraband weasel.
We pledge an oath of allegiance to the rigga-ding-dang dig another dimension.
If you're gonna get ready, get ready to rock
And while you're rocking, get ready to roll
And if you can stand steady when you're ready to drop
then you're on your way to saving your soul.
FIVE-Ø coming live, at you once and a-twice
then you stop...
'cause we're too proud to rock
and a-roll and you're saving your soul and you know
You're listening to the sound.
Everybody's gotta be
Taking time to savour their souls
I would rather try to be taking time to a save -a-mine...
@@MSTL144 You're awesome, thank you!
My pleasure, you can read the rest of the lyrics here should you want to.. magstat.bandcamp.com/album/late-shift
woof
Truly, the production of this music is so baffling...
"Dance in the Fallout" 8:09-10:59
Funny thing is, bands like Hype Williams now make that same sound, even though it has probably resulted from very different reasons. It sounds kinda like a radio with semi-decent speakers, but playing from a window that you walk by.

CONSUME
We have one that can see...
i love u
We love u too
This is unironically one of the best albums I've ever heard
Thanks! You have unironically the best taste in music we've ever encountered
No dogs were harmed in the making of this record
If only that were true 😢
You may have been asked this, but do you have the polish song “Kto Tu Jest Niewinny” by Małgorzata Panecka? There is absolutely nothing about it on the Internet apart from a 10 second clip
Hope you found it
@@gilla2092 It sadly hasn’t been found yet
Unfortunately not, but we'll keep an eye out for it and let you know if we find it! Thanks for listening :)
@@MSTL144 Thanks ;)
What's the name of the first track? It's fantastic!
I need to know more about this. Where can I learn about the band?
RUclips wasn't wrong in throwing this my way. What an interesting assortment of tunes - and they're all awesome! I'm assuming the almost haunting quality of the music is because it's a bootleg tape? It adds so much depth to the whole thing - it's like I'm experiencing this second-hand. The lyrics are kinda hard to hear in a way that's not dissimilar to being in a busy location with background music playing. You want to hear the music, but you can just barely make it out through the hustle and flow around you.
The wild thing is how this entire album could be brand new, and the entire description is just atmospheric flavour text lol. It would be really fun to release a new album that sounds like a long forgotten old album, and creating a backstory and lore about things that never even existed just to add to the experience of the album.
I love this so much. Thank you for uploading this.
Hi Wardrich, thanks for your comment, very happy indeed you enjoyed the album. And congratulations on having one of the oldest RUclips channels I've ever seen! Great content too :)
@@MSTL144 I've held this account for far too long lmao. I grabbed a copy of this album off your bandcamp earlier today too. I was hooked on the first listen. It's just so good!
I honestly can't even tell if this is a legitimate album from 1982 haha. I can't find any info on the band itself. It really does make me want to create a bunch of fake bands with lore, and release some fake albums by them - including the lore - and just let people find it... which I feel is like what's going on here, but hmmm....
This song i'm sure it's made by a dog
Arkanoid [Revenge] sounds so cool
Thanks :D
Come on man give up the rest of it !!!

@MSTL144 - "It spawned the hits “Dance in the Fallout", “Arkanoid or Humanoid?"
Are you suggesting that a song title that was inspired by the 1986 Breakout inspired arcade game "Arkanoid" was released two years before Arkanoid even existed?
Time travel, my friend... ;)
It's conceivable that the video game title might have been inspired by the song.
@@niallcarey2909 - That could very much be possible iin the case that this song was not composed in recent times with modern musical composition tools, and given a fictional back-story.
@machinesbreathe
Bro, read the pinned comment, or the channel info.. therein lies great wisdom.
Please just tell me. Why are you trying so hard to keep this fake show on the road? What are you looking for, money? No offense, just really curious.
Honestly, since you're so curious. It's just a fun music art project for my two buddies and I. That's why I was miffed when you insisted it was A.I. because we put a lot of work into writing and recording it. The back story to us isn't deceit, it's part of the art statement. There's no money in it we just like sharing our music for people to enjoy, and we're really happy that so many people enjoy the music and understand the intent. Check out the other stuff on the channel, the countless other uploads are written and recorded with real instruments and our actual beguiling voices, just like this one. Hope that clears it up, sorry if I was short with you. Peace.
@@MSTL144 If this is true you guys are amazing. Can you perhaps share the lyrics for "Dance in the Fallout"?
Thanks, we started on tape in our early teens so we have pretty fat hard-drives of years of projects to revisit. We're three obsessive creators, that's why there's so much stuff here. I'm not surprised if people think we're cranking the A.I. handle. That's a sign of the times I suppose. And the lyric [off the top of my head] is:
Feed the Fire
Fan the flames
Watch the water as it floats away
nothing's going to be okay
We the people, Crucified
All above the earth
Far beneath the sky
Cry your blue eyes dry
Feed the fire,
Fan the flames,
No tomorrows are the same
Dance in the fallout
Consumed by the moment
The lost in the twilight
We close our eyes
And Dance in the Fallout
To feel the reaction
it's a Nuclear Morning
And we all Fall down.
@@MSTL144 I can kinda see why people may think it's AI, and in some ways I think there is some honour to have there - that you have blurred so many lines between reality and fiction.
Also though, I love messing with AI to see what I can get it to make and nothing on this album strikes me as being AI. The vocal quality of the songs are way too consistent, and none of the vocals sound like they have that weird AI vocal thing. I can't really explain it, but a lot of AI music vocals sound like they're materializing out of thin air in front of you. It's interesting.
I think your project is awesome, and I really hope you're able to find more Humanoid albums to share with us! Makes me wonder if there are any music videos or bootleg concert footage rotting away somewhere from them! 😉

KL here I come
@@TheT1111x1 哇哈哈，真的吗？
you know what's disappointing
the cover, the name, the aesthetic of the music all seems awesome... and then you don't like the music
one day my taste will be curated enough perhaps, for this
the first song with all the over lapping is terrible
In your opinion, which is totally valid. Thanks for listening all the same.
no, prob the best part
I think it sounds cool as hell
Completely disagree, the first song is my favorite one
I think your HomeVideo is Horrible. [tee hee]
was JUST thinking, man i need something new to listen to, this is defiantly it
Yeah, bravely and defiantly, and before else, ignorantly.
