avant-rock/jazz fusion/metal-punk-wave.
a legend of czech alt, right up there w/plastic people.
this alt is more jazzy fusey stuff. proggy.
riyl: zappa, plastic people, pere ubu, gogol bordello.
FCC CLEAN.(LYRICS ARE IN CZECH.)
SUGGESTIONS: 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
1. sound of water in dropping in cave(?). lonely singing.
*2. fast. upbeat&zappaesque. horns are prominent. neo-metallic.
3. starts w/ piano tinkling. horns kick in. sounds like a union ditty as sung by a czech billy bragg. the trumpet dominates.
*4. avant jazz. fast&moving. bass fuzz ala minutemen&black flag.
*5. kinda 80's new wave cheeze vibe -it's that sax in the alleyway effect. but it's a trumpet. it's got a nice pop twist action. kinda like japanese pop-pizzacato/shonan. goes into dark jazz fuse interlude. back into it's pop. dramatic end.
6. metallic&fast. (w/trumpet!) kinda cookie monster metallic. looong. tooo looong. peaceful proggy vox ending. got strings.
*7. fast&jazzy fusey. lotta key action. kinda 80's new wave.
*8. ALMOST BEST TRACK: fast&bashing! kinda hardcore. (w/trumpet!)
last minute gives way to new wave chorus=fucking great!
*9. mid-fast. begin: gits like nerves&urinals. laibach vox in parts. it's new wave in it's heaviest momes. this totally rocks.
*10. BEST TRACK:fast. weird little chorus-'la la la la' it sounds like it's being made by little kittens (serious). moving, upbeat. rocks! (NOTE: SUD END W/ HALF MIN IN TRACK TIME.)
*11. ALMOST BEST TRACK II: water drops and sad vox are back, but accompanied by keys and strings. sad.
