evolving and much admired group.
Formed in the aftermath of the Velvet Revolution, The Ecstasy Of St. Theresa
released the first ever Czech indie records....quickly getting the attention
of John Peel, and recording what became a legendary session for his Radio 1
show.....released commercially as an EP, it toped the CMJ chart, and got to
number 6 in the UK indie charts when this meant something!.....The group
quickly moved beyond this essentially shoe-gazing style to explore many
soundscapes....film soundtracks, remixes the whole thing.....here for the
first time, the definitive story of this seminal group...from their classic
Peel session via their film soundtrack work to their latest project, a
collaboration with British Sea Power "It's A Lovely Day
Tomorrow".....otherwise available outside the Czech Republic only at British
Sea Power shows....but on here EXCLUSIVELY providing a fitting close to
chapter one of the Ecstasy Of St. Theresa.....as the Czech Republic bravely
enters the EU, another chance to hear the story from the start....

group.....

releases

I love Ecstasy of St. Theresa -- that's great they're getting reissued! Pray tell, wher is "HERE"?

This would all be amazong news were it not for the involvement of the dread BSP.

Amazong is cool though: a plaudit conferred on products with high customer satisfaction ratings on Amazon?

Just wondering if anyone else bought this and got the video to play. It says it comes with a video of Fludium on it, but I can't even see it listed on the cd in linux or XP. Maybe they actually didn't put it on?

to the surface noise made by people: HERE is another seminal czech indie group.
EOST of 2004 makes highly sofisticated glitch pop (mum, lali puna, etc.) with the only member of the original crew left.

The "Fluidtrance Centauri" EP is utter shoegaze bliss, wish they did a whole album like this.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 02:52 (ten years ago)
Fluidtrancecentauri is one of those perfect shoegaze EP artifacts, that like A.R.Kane's Lolita, that the band visited before their long detours elsewhere.
There is an album Sussurate (1992), that preceded Fluidtrancecentauri from EoStT's shoegaze days. The textures lean sludgy and you don't really need it if you have Ride's EPs and have blown your tweeters.

Finally picked up In Dust 3. Twenty years on from release you really can sense the late-90s 'rock band goes sorta electronic' realm they were in at that point, but it makes for an interesting artifact -- like there was a sense 'computer music,' in a very broad sense, sounded like this, only to be further mutated and transformed through the years, becoming more fluid, for lack of a better term.
