Polansky Y El Ardor

Polansky Y El Ardor (sometimes written Polanski Y El Ardor) was a musical group formed in Madrid in 1981, in the context of Madrid's "movida". The group became one of the greatest representatives of the Spanish punk of the era. After several changes in their formation, it stabilized in 1982: Víctor Manuel Muñoz Vázquez (vocals and guitar), Sebastián Durán Limas (bass), Pejo (drums) and Carlos Álvarez Coto (saxophone and keyboards). This formation is the one that recorded all the vinyls published by Polansky Y El Ardor while they were active. Other musicians also collaborated with the group, such as Ramón Guzmán, Enrique Siera, Poch, Solrac, Jose Manuel Kentucky, Justo Bagüeste, Txeles Albizu, Carlos Torero and Juan C. González "Rocky". Their music could be placed within psychedelic and sinister rock / post-punk, and with the different touch that the presence of a saxophone gave. His lyrics were sometimes ironic, sometimes absurd. 

Polansky Y El Ardor soon get the attention of the label Spansuls Records, with whom they recorded some demos that ended up being published at the end of 1982 in an EP titled 'Ataque Preventivo de la USSR', which would ultimately be the greatest success of the group, and that also included "Y No Usa Laca" y "Chantaje Emocional". In 1982 they won the first prize of the II Madrid-Region Rock Competition, organized by the Provincial Council of Madrid. Thanks to this award they signed a contract with the Ariola record label. Already in 1983 Polanski Y El Ardor published with their new label their only album, 'Chantaje Emocional'. The album was produced by Paco Trinidad. Ariola had rejected the demos that the group had recorded with Peter McNamee for his second album, which in principle was going to be published in 1984. That caused that finally the group took the decision to put the end point to their career in the middle of that year. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
