After releasing a string of tapes and 12"s over the last four years, Prague's anything
goes imprint Endless Illusion deliver their second LP in as many years with a double
pack reissue of Mama Bubo's 1985 cassette "Planeta Haj". After a little instrumental,
esoteric, tape looping oddness on opener "New Age In Prague", the group get straight
into the synth-wave dancers with the bleepy title track and lo-fi funk of the trumpet
led "Sen". Elsewhere minimal wave meets dubby post punk on "Skoncis Jako Ja", "Co To
Ma Byt" invites us to board the weirdo wagon and "Cechach Najdes Pritele" rocks out
in the most angular way. Changing rhythm, style, tempo and tack throughout, this
diverse LP should keep you guessing on multiple listens, not least because its finest
moments come towards the end. The odd industrial funk of "Banatost" should rock any
cosmic dancefloor, "Smis Mnohem Dal" somehow transforms from a gloomy dub dirge into
a medicated anthem for a dystopic future and closing cut "Za Zdi" is as finer bit of
minimal wave synthwork as you're gonna find. Obscure, obtuse and oh so excellent!
