Dvouletá Fáma: "Studio 1983 + Live 1988" (2001)

Google Translator says: "In the plane there is a space Czech broken RIOdimensional which contains one of the most unhealthy and opposing bands, a very distorted and perverse nature that only they can put the same bag that pioneering genius The Plastic People Of The Universe and MCH Band. And just as this pair of monsters, Dvouletá Fame were repressed by the communist regime and had little opportunity to record their only studio album. Fortunately, the record label Black Point was able to pick from oblivion this study material and have thrown in the collection, along with a direct audio quality. The band underwent lineup changes after their first album, and took great advantage of this as the direct change in some direction, starting with the generation of slow and reflective dark environments, manic vocals, regular use of low and no equivalence between instruments, without centralizing on guitar. Direct experience with this is even more unhappy and uneasy in the study, where nearly every element filter on the avant-punk, new wave or noise to advance to the murky channels of pure art. A notable change that gives freshness and authenticity is the good use of keyboard, although complementary, interesting sounds come from there as an 8-bit (like video game music of his time). Under study are the six strings that dominate the entire disc, but do so in a stunning, powerful and ultra-fast riffs, dirty sounds of order Noise-rock, high notes of tradition uniquely RIO and selected movements optimistas-punk/new wave. Here the voice is pseudo-child moments and pseudo-opera, but nothing to do with the male singing Live 1988. Since I am not licensed to prescribe an antibiotic to counter the virulent and chronic effects of this pair of discs, at least warn that it takes some training value and enjoy them, as before will have to strengthen the white blood cells and exercise the ear. If this is the case then Czech, starting with the most basic level, it might be a good start to hear some of the pioneers, or more recently as OZW, or PSI Doma Uz JSME Vojáci that are like 90% more audible and catchy-tic infections. Those who already have experience in these Czech-adventures, move on with confidence and chew ezquizofrenia irreverence of these unhealthy.

Review on VPodzemVěř, October 22, 2009, 14:19, by mihal (in Czech)
"The band, with the singer in front, run like wild beasts and one may think whether these people were in jail under the communist regime and for how long...." (No, we fortunately spent no time in prison, dear Mihal, but it is good to hear that something like this came to your mind while listening to the music :))
