The group was set up by Grzegorz Kupczyk, the vocalist of Turbo, on 12 october 1989. At the beginning it was a kind of a separation from music performed so far. After leaving his original band Grzegorz dedicated himself to solo singing with CETI. The name of the group comes from the NASA programme "communication with extraterestial intelligence" from 1971.
The first record "The Black Rose" has appeared on LP, CD and MC. It contains a recording of the guest performance of Czeslaw Niemen. "At Heart's Door" was the first big hit which has been taking first places in the radio and TV charts for many weeks.
At that time Grzegorz Kupczyk (voc., bass), Marihuana (kbds), Andrzej Lysow (guit.), Jacek Jablonski (perc.) belonged to the group. Then Maciej Przybylski (bass) joined CETI. The group prepared the whole recording and made a record of music to the film by Andrzej Szczygiel - "Red Inter Show".
