KOMPLET

This is a compilation album that has both of Ota's studio albums plus some bonus tracks. This was released in 2009 and is a good way to go if you want to check out his music. Ota was a Czech musician trying to express himself during the communist government's rule. Not an easy thing to do. So he offered up melancholic music that expressed his sad mood over the lack of freedom in his country.

As far as the music goes i've reviewed both studio albums but there are three bonus tracks featured here. Two of them were already bonus tracks on the first album but "Marilyn, Good-Bye" is one you won't find anywhere but here. Strummed guitar and vocals lead and then some electric guitar comes and goes in this melancholic offering.

My collection of Czech artists is ever-growing but Ota's music doesn't click with me the way a lot of it does.
