alf a dozen LPs in, this 22-year Czech band is free of its remarkable founding narrative as a band banned by the former Communist Czechoslovakian regime just for existing...What remains is the fierce commitment to the freedom inherent in Western art-damaged music. Uz embody the absolute unpredictability in Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention primarily, but also the multi-influence, anti-pop clatter of the Residents, Captain Beefheart, Pere Ubu, 1977 punk, and...prog. You won't know what they're singing about in Czech, but the limitless hyper-energy and collision of styles piling on each other with remarkable precision, always turns ears....It's glorious..." – Jack Rabid "A fascinating variety of influences are at work in UJD's music, but prior to any explication and dissection, it's important to note that this group effing rawks!!! The CD has punch, drama, virtuosity, hooks–all the things that make for a dynamic listening experience. Anyone with a taste for R.I.O. groups and other high-power ethnic rock groups...will find the music herein to be very, very appealing. Punk music is part of UJD's heritage as well...and the writing also makes prominent use of ethnic folk motifs. It's all perfectly integrated–and highly recommended." –Signal to Noise Caves line-up: Miroslav Wanek • Pepa Cervinka • Adam Tomasek • Tomas Paleta • Martin Velisek
