│ Artist history (mp3.com): │
│ The band's original line-up consisted of Irna Libowitz (vocals), Jan P. │
│ Muchow and Jan Gregar (guitars) and Petr Wegner (drums) with occasional │
│ guests - John Moore (guitar), Misa Klimkova (various instruments), Colin │
│ Stuart (keyboards), Vladimira Jestrabova (flute), and Katie Hecker │
│ (percussion). Their first recording was a mini-album Pigment (1991), │
│ followed by Susurrate (1992). After recording a John Peel Session at the │
│ BBC London studios they released three CDs on Free Records label │
│ (division of Go!Discs), the Free-D album being produced by Guy Fixen │
│ (Laika). In 1996 Ecstasy changed both style and personnel - only Muchow │
│ remained, and the new members were Petr Machacek (keyboards), Petr │
│ Nemecek (drums), and Katerina Winterova (vocals). At present they │
│ perform live as a duo only - Winterova + Muchow. After five years, on │
│ May 31 1999, the long-awaited album In Dust 3 (EMI Monitor) was │
│ released. Its working title was Sounds From the Years of Silence. Muchow │
│ also wrote scores for two feature films - Whisper (1996) and Loners │
│ (2000), both directed by David Ondricek. │
│ │
│ Group members │
│ Katerina Winterova - vocals; Jan P. Muchow - keyboards, guitars, │

│ │
│ Press reviews │
│ This is certainly a release that will appeal to a lot of people, whether │
│ they hail from the industrial, electronic, indie, etc. camps... Found │
│ this under the "Ambient" section in a local record store, but it's │
│ definitely not ambient in the typical synth-wash/nature sound samples │
│ category. "Acoustic ambient?" Something like that. Practically all of │
│ the rehas many "real" instruments throughout. Cellos, flutes, etc. │
│ Coupled with many exotic synth sounds (watch out AFX!) and some │
│ thunderstorm noises towards the end of the disc. When you first pop in │
│ this disc, you instantly think Slowdive met the Hafler Trio in an opium │
│ den or something. Vocals fade in and out (they're the dreamy, │
│ incoherentSeefeel variety) but there is never anything to "hold on" to. │
│ The music is totally unstructured, like a huge ambient jam session. │
│ However, nothing ever comes off as being token or thrown in to get that │
│ typical "ambient" effect. At any rate, this is definitely one of my │
│ favorite releases of the year - I believe it even tops Seefeel. │
│ Definitely unconventional. You won't find much on this disc you've heard │
│ before... If you like the Orb, Horizon 222, My Bloody Valentine, etc. │
│ you won't regret this purchase! Jon [Gerald Wenzel] on Free-D (Original │
│ Soundtrack) │

│ --------- │
│ │
│ Free-D (Original Soundtrack) exists in a kind of musical limbo -- while │
│ it possesses elements of everything from ambient techno to dream pop to │
│ new age, it refuses to adhere to any strict sonic definition for too │
│ long. For one, the reliance on live instruments like cellos and flutes │
│ lends the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa's soundscapes a distinctly human │
│ pulse, but at the same time the music is clearly electronic in structure │
│ and design, textured by droning keyboard washes and synthetic rhythms. │
│ Moreover, while the record's soft contours and muted hues evoke the │
│ aesthetics of ambient, it simply refuses to fade into the backdrop -- │
│ the formlessness of the songs ensures that they're in seemingly constant │
│ flux, a shape-shifting fusion of spectral vocals, enigmatic samples and │
│ abstract beats. Ultimately, it's Free-D's refusal to accept easy │
│ categorization that makes it so compelling -- it's a singular experience │
│ in deep listening. │
