Memento z banalnym tryptykiem (lit. 'Memento of a banal triptych') is the ninth studio album by the progressive rock band SBB.
It was the band's last album before its disbanding in 1980,[2] and was actually released in 1981, after the band had already split up. They would only reunite much later to record new music again.
The album was recorded in Polskie Nagrania Muza.[3] During the recording, the band was supported by a second guitarist, Sławomir Piwowar, and Józef Skrzek's brother Jan Skrzek, who plays the harmonica.[1] After finishing recording, the band broke up.[4]
Content
Memento represents a refreshing of the band's sound. "Moja ziemio wyśniona" (lit. 'My dream world') draws from the jazz fusion scene.[3] "Trójkąt radości" (lit. 'Triangle of happiness') is dominated by Piwowar's guitars,[5] which he plays in a flamenco style.[3]
"Strategia pulsu" continues the trend of fusion-inspired tracks,[5] as well as displaying the band's proficiency in "boogie-funk".[3] The title suite covers the entire second side of the album.[3] The album is bookended by excerpts from Lob der Frauen by Johann Strauss.[6]
