“It is not an illustrative "literary soundtrack", but a dive into mysterious corners and illuminated flashes of consciousness. This is certainly helped by Michal's harmony with a proven team of musicians, dominated by Pavel Richter with guitar, bass, clarinet, ghatam drum, flute, zither and percussion, but pianist Marek Šebelka and trumpeter and flutist Bharata Rajnošek also play an important role here. The whole certainly does not only express meditative positions, but also a veiled rock charge with a strong rhythmic aspect, which is especially proven by the longest composition Krajina. The lines of force of musical motifs intersect, approach or pass in planes that slide and pulsate in the brain of the author and the listener. Sometimes it may be difficult to follow their flow, but if you get on the right frequency, you can get pleasantly lost in them or float along them somewhere to the gates of the universe and deny verticality and horizontality and get to the true core.
Of course, everyone here can arrive at a different catharsis, which, of course, does not measure its qualitative dimensions at all. It is an alignment with the age of this world and the effort to know and grasp it. However, do not be afraid of some excessive pomp. It's more of an urgency that should be heard and listened to.” — Petr Slabý
