In 2014, the band decided to take at least a one year long break. Adam’s hearing issues made impossible for him to continue with the band and overall spirit was on trial. We had enough and we didn’t know where to go to have the same thrill again. We agreed to spend a bank holiday weekend at hotel U Pašeráka / Zum Passer which closed down some time ago. We built a studio within a day inside and we started to play and record with the aim to lay down at least one song before we go, maybe for ever more.A cold spring outside and lonely hill village made it perfect location for contemplation and blasts of insanity, too. Most of the songs are the very first or early takes of improvisation, some of them were later finalised in Radiotron studio in Prague. This isn’t a proper album of new millennium, it is a recording done in very old fashioned way, a witness of a special moment which means a lot for us and we decided to share it with you in its entirety.
