The definitive "story so far" compilation from this amazing, constantly evolving and much admired group reads as follows. Formed in the aftermath of the Velvet Revolution, The Ecstasy Of St. Theresa released the first ever Czech indie records, quickly getting the attention of John Peel, and recording what became a legendary session for his Radio 1 show. Released commercially as an EP, it topped the CMJ chart, and got to number 6 in the UK indie charts when this meant something! The group quickly moved beyond this essentially shoe-gazing style to explore many soundscapes; film soundtracks, remixes. the whole thing! Here for the first time, the complete story of this seminal group, from their classic Peel session via their film soundtrack (including "For This Moment" from the platinum soundtrack to the film "Loners") work to their latest project, a collaboration with British Sea Power "It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow" - otherwise available outside the Czech Republic only at British Sea Power shows, but on here EXCLUSIVELY providing a fitting close to chapter one of the Ecstasy Of St. Theresa. As the Czech Republic bravely enters the EU, Rev-Ola presents another chance to hear the story from the start.
