MCH BAND-GIB ACHT!, CD, 1993, CZECHOSLOVAKIA





Excellent and almost textbook anxiety riddled R.I.O. moves in the grand Czech dissident style from this long lived (seemingly still extant) unit led by guitarist Mikolas Chadima, whose finely wrought sturm und drang is fraught with a weight and solemnity that's very much of a piece with their contemporaries in The Plastic People.

    Great, I have Karneval, as well as Chadima's collaboration with Pavel Fajt, Transparent People, but have never seen this one.

    Some older works reminds me of Psychic TV with its monotonous-psychedelic touch.

    But I would like to say one thing: Czechoslovakia split on 1st of January 1993, so this album was released already in Czech Republic. ;-)
