plastic people of the universe




prague’s plastic people of the universe emerged shortly after the soviets invaded czechoslovakia in 1968. the satellite czech government deemed the music subversive and the plastics had to go underground. it’s a story of survival and tremendous commitment. they even had a defense fund at amnesty international back in the day. the lp I have, egon bondy’s lonely heart’s club banned, sounds a bit like a slowed-down, gothic version of frank zappa. weird and great. check out “podivuhodny mandarin”. 1978. invisible records.
