2 stars Soft, tender, but also hypnotic and depths of mind touching are the words which appeared before my eyes when I listen this. But after a while, it all sounds like first track. If you're one of those lucky guys, who knows Czech Avant scene (and also RIO, but opposition here is against government), to be exact - The Plastic People of the Universe, you know what I'm talking about when I say that this reminds me their album, Pašijové hry velikonoční (or Passion Play). But when I then gave 4 stars and was totally stunned, now I don't know what to think about it.

I can't say that I'm pleased. When someone say that red square in bigger blue square is art perfection, that there can't be nothing else, then I can nod him and think to myself that he's crazy, or I can argue with him. He can be even so keen on this idea that he would be willing to sacrifice few thousands dollars to buy this "thing". Same situation is here. Or maybe I'm wrong and he's right. Someone can see 5 star worthy album here and if he'll give good reasons, he's right. I like complex and pleasant things at once if possible. I have not so big problems with weird, avant-garde, or progressive things. Problems yes, because everything new is bigger or lesser problem at first try. But I can't see nothing good here. It's so empty for me, so boring and music-free that I can't give anything else than

2(-), because it don't bring me bad feelings. It's listenable, but there's nothing to listen. However, as I said, it's no offensive, or ugly music. Just plain.
