Supraphon Release Information



The first of three conceptual Olympic albums.

The ecological lyrics (Zdeněk Rytíř) were slightly provocative in our country at that time, the pro-composed rock music (Petr Janda) was comparable worldwide. The album did not generate a clear hit, but it is musically more compact and listener-intensive. Olympic composed of P. Janda, M. Berka, M. Broum and P. Hejduk. Guitar and vocal unmistakable, keyboards with a leaning towards synthesizers, with a slightly Pink Floydian mood at times, but always completely original.

Known as “Prázdniny na Zemi” (Holidays on Earth), but the three dots and question mark at the end of the title make sense. It may not have been a pretty trip, maybe not even to Earth, but reasons to think about the treatment of our planet certainly were. Historically, the most comprehensive Olympic linking of music and lyrics, less “singular”, sounding strong. The sound has been remastered from the original master tapes, including the original linking of tracks and the abrupt ending. The cover was reconstructed from happily found original slides by A. Pajer. The CD form is packed to a running time of nearly 80 minutes with ten concert and studio recordings, including previously unreleased tracks.

The third of the jubilee reissues of the Olympique albums.
