This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
If The Residents and John Zorn were jamming with Frank Zappa … well, they’d all have to be dead.
But in that unfortunate circumstance, the wonderous sound that would ensue would probably bear a pretty striking resemblance to that of Prague rockers Uz Jsme Doma. It’s pronounced Oosh May Dough-Ma and loosely translates to “Eureka!” — which is also how you’ll react to their hyperkinetic, anything-goes mish-mash of goofball wank-rock, free-jazz horn skronk, politically charged punk frenzy, whimsical synth-pop and just about any other sound that pops into their head and can be produced with an instrument. At first, what with the jumping-bean arrangements and the Czech vocals, it can all sound like six radios playing at once in some faroff bunker. Once you wrap your ears around the concept, though — frankly, it reminds me a little of the frantic rock of Mexican outfit Cafe Tacuba — you won’t be able to turn it off. And nobody has to get hurt.
