OK, so I'm scratching my head here trying to list six studio albums and can come up with only four (five if you consider Matt's Mood, which, strictly speaking, was not her alone). Do these people do any actual research? Am I missing something? Are they considering a compilation album with a new track a "studio album"? A generally favorable review otherwise.

Tak! - Copernicus featured in the ad about Poland This advertisement film about Poland (about 12 minutes long) was released few days ago. Many famous people (actors, musicians etc.) appear there talking about their impressions of Poland, Polish origins and other Poland related things. I was very pleased to find out that Basia's music was also featured (read it this morning). In the beginning and at the end of this short film you can hear Copernicus. I think it was a great choice! "This is a song, about the place I come from..." :-D Hope you will enjoy it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nM-p8PGn3CI Krysia P.S.
