"Positive state of consciousness 1989" is a long-announced and long-awaited publication that summarizes the H.C.P. formation active in 1988-1989. i.e. Hard Core Poznań, is also a document that expands the achievements of the new wave of hardcore bands in Poland from the late 1980s - the period of creating a consciously independent scene.
H.C.P. was the first band of this wave to manage to release a vinyl album, thanks to the Swiss label Resistance Productions. The recordings from this legendary single "Anti Drugs", as well as the songs originally released on split cassettes with Chaos and Apatia, are included on the album "Pozytyjny stan się 1989", currently released by Warsaw Pact Records.
The album contains 19 songs of fast, predatory Hardcore Punk (or, as it was then called, HC/Thrash) with lyrics relating to the issues of the period of the end of communism in Poland, such as state violence, militarism, nuclear energy and neo-fascism. The song "Young Fascists", which refers to the latter problem, became the band's most famous and was performed by other bands on the Polish scene for years. Despite these problems of the transformation period, the band was full of optimism and youthful spontaneity, appealing for a change in values and positive awareness. This positive and progressive message of the band was also reflected in the straight edge attitude, and the band was one of the first in Poland associated with this trend.
End of the H.C.P. chapter it was also the beginning of another important chapter of the Polish scene for the next twenty-odd years, which was APATIA.
The album is released with a 28-page booklet with lyrics, an interview with all band members, Pablo's memories from Resistance Productions and lots of archival photos and footage from the collaboration between Refuse Records and Warsaw Pact Records.
