Great band from Poland.
Drummer Wojtek Szadkowski, who wrote and co-wrote nearly all Collage's music and lyrics,
created a new band called Satellite in 2000. Enlisting many
of his former bandmates including singer Robert
Amirian, Satellite has created a fine nice melodic prog album in
the slibstream of Marillion & the good old Genesis.
Mark Wilkinson, know from work with Marillion & Fish did the cover.
A Street Between Sunrise And Sunset ('03):
Evening Games is their new astoinishing album ('05).
Again great prog.! The bonus cd contains two more songs; Ď'll follow the Rain" and "You know and I know".

Nostalgia ('09) is the follow up to the highly acclaimed album “Into The Night” from 2007. As the band claims, it's their fourth and most mature offering. Most of the album was recorded in Wojtek Szadkowski’s home studio. He is also responsible for the music and lyrics for "Nostalgia". The album features 7 atmospheric compositions, full of beautiful arrangements with subtle yet powerful sounds. The music offered on the new album is a combination of the sound of the 70’s with the modern 21st century sound. The lyrics relate to each other in a loose manner - they're about coming to terms with the past, about the need for a change, starting anew, distancing oneself to one's own past. At the same time, ironically, the music on "Nostalgia" manifests a longing for the mood of the 70's and 80's.
The follow-up album entitled Yesterday Is A Friend brought a powerful sound full of faith and
melody with some hidden flavors.
Believe's first DVD entitled Hope To See Another Day Live was released by Metal Mind Productions !!!
in July 2008. The setlist for the show recorded in November 2007
(Wyspanski Theater in Katowice, Poland) included songs from the debut
album "Hope to See Another Day" plus a song from "Yesterday Is a Friend"
as also a song from Mr. Gil's repertoire. DVD also included an interview with
Mirek Gil and Tomek Rózycki, photo gallery, 2 bonus audio tracks
(taken from the "Yesterday is a Friend" album), Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound and more!
At the end of 2008 Believe changed it's line-up. The band has begun a new era with a new vocalist –
Karol Wróblewski.
Now they are woring on a new album:
Mirek Gil (ex-Collage, ex-Mr. Gil, guitars),
Karol Wróblewski (vocals, flute, keyboards),
