FRAMAURO - ENTERMEDIA - 1998

Before MILLENNIUM, there was FRAMAURO. Multi-instrumentalist, Ryszard Kramarski, quite literally recorded demos in his bedroom (later to officially be released as bootlegs) in Krakow, Poland. Feeling that his vision needed to be fully realized, he brought on his cousins Stach Kramarsk and Tomasz Pabian to solidify the lineup.

Together at full strength they recorded Etermedia in 1998. Stands to reason they be compared to fellow countrymen COLLAGE, the cornerstone of their sound has been described as ethereal with melodic guitars, symphonic/celestial keyboards, 60's style keyboards, bass, drums and vocals (sung in Polish).

Changes were in store for FRAMAURO, however. Says Kramarski, "It was June 1999 and a year passed since the release of the album of FRAMAURO. After my friends suggestions I decided to hire a professional studio and record the second album." Subsequently, he also went on to establish Lynx Music (http://www.lynxmusic.pl). At which point FRAMAURO became the band we know today: MILLENIUM.
