After massively touring the so-called third world of entertainment [Montreal, Spain, Moscow, Singapore, Paris, Berlin, Portugal, Switzerland and many others...] Guenter REZNICEK and his uncle BAMBIJ ROBOT [commonly known as NOVA HUTA] return with an impressive collection of pop tunes... Please welcome the summer, cuz now you can have the SUMMER-ALBUM.
It is no doubt, it is going to be great! Three years after his debut as NOVA HUTA, Reznicek, the master of strange melodies and swaying hips, is finally back with his new album.
These were three busy and exciting years during which he left his Czech "nonstopdatscha" in order to tour the world several times, performing at Canadian electronic festivals, New York pirate TV stations and on French national holidays as well as at Goethe Institutes in Singapore and Moscow - and it wasn't just the Eastern European girls who went wild at his savage stomps.
He was one of the first artists to have ruthlessly connected electronic music with charming entertainment and weirdness, like many performers are trying to do at the moment.
During these three strange years the music scene has distinctly changed. In the beginning he was still one of the pioneers who recklessly spiced up electronic music with gallant entertainment and a pinch of madness. Now, everyone seems to have gone the same way. Today the poorest figures can be seen jumping about on stage with their MD-Players. It´s high time we got some things straight.
These three long years haven't left his music-writing unmarked. His fragile melody-plants have exuberantly grown into a noise jungle with rhythms vibrating everywhere.. Melodies are hovering all over the space and Reznicek weaves his way through all genres like a snake.
Imbued with such a cosmopolitan spirit, it is no wonder that his new album is not released in Germany but on the Lisbon based record label VARIZ, including a hit in Portuguese.
"Here comes my Seltsam voice" really bursts into open Spring, making your feet stomp of their own accord and causing your head to bob around. But what can you call this genre-hopping music?
Is this rather Fake gay disco? Avant-garde girlie pop? Sci-fi? Or perhaps Hi-Lo-fi?
Maybe it is all that at once, but Nova Huta himself has created a trademark description of it: "Datschadelic music", but what that means exactly, not even he knows.
A totally irrelevant question anyway, cause the melodies catch the ear, the rhythms take control of your the legs and the lyrics get into your head. Although everything regarding Reznicek remains odd and purely special no matter how much hit potential he's handling. ON MY WAY TO THE TOPLESS TOP is the only way the world may be defined in 2004.
If you don't get it, the sun won't shine in your town...

PRESS:

" (...) The results do not correspond to any officially registered genre, but they don't sound any less familiar because of that. (...) there are at least two obvious reasons why it should deserve your attention: the Cover version of The Cure's Killing an Arab (rebaptised Killing an Error) and the electropop play of Guarde as Suas Lágrimas para Outra Pessoa, that could well have been a song by Portuguese ur-girlband Doce." - Isilda Sanches in DNMais, DIÁRIO DE NOTÍCIAS

"Anyway, our memories will be inscribed with small fragments of 'Here Comes My Seltsam Voice' to which our 'earbugs' will be inclined to go back to. The potential for Both short and long term nostalgia is very much present." - Miguel Arsénio in BODYSPACE
