Michał Urbaniak recorded this material in the '70s, when he created music in the style called fusion.
Like the previously released albums from this period ("Fusion III", "Body English"), this one also has passed the test of time.
Purely instrumental sound, although enriched with great vocals by Urszula Dudziak, impresses with ideas, the level of improvisation, and compositions saturated with electronics and various effects.
"Smiles Ahead" is both a huge rarity for dedicated fans of Michał Urbaniak's music, fusion enthusiasts, as well as younger audiences interested in rock, jazz, electronics and musical experiments.
