And I used to be a Czech music journalist... Here is a little update: Mejla Hlavsa, PPU main force, died January 5, 2001, after diagnosis of lung cancer in April 2000 and consequent chemotherapy in his nearly 50. The remaining members of the band, which continued playing from 1997 reunion on, after memorial concert decided to continue with Eva Turnova on bass and vocals (for a short time, there was also double bass player, who shortly played with PPU in 70's). They released two studio albums of new material since then - first is tribute to Mejla with songs penned mostly by him, second came out in 2oo9 and was launched in concert at London Sothbank Centre. I was at Prague cd launch a bit later and I was very disappointed by sound and energy of performance... For much better, there is also great live version of 1978 album Passion Play from 2oo4, performed by PPU & large Agon Orchestra. This cd, along most of the others in their discography, was for sale in Levne knihy KMA shops in Czech Republic for very low price in past few years. In 2oo8, same company released complete PPU 1969-2oo4 remastered discography as cheap 2dvd box-set with complete documentation -- possible to order at http://www.levneknihy.cz/DetailZbozi.aspx?z=60977 -- but a little problem - no English version of this webshop, even you can see the price in Euros there. This 2dvd is possible to buy elsewhere on web, but for much higher price I think. PPU have also nice new website, not yet in English (2o1o/o7). But Discography section is useful internationally, and there are also few mp3 songs from 3 newer albums for free download in Ke stazeni section -- http://www.plasticpeople.eu/download_mp3.html -- and a lot of photos plus links (Odkazy) to other members activities, label Guerilla Records (real home of current Czech so-called underground community - they released newest PPU titles, but again no English version of web), etc. Appropriate and updated is PPU article on English Wikipedia. And last but not least, one CZ webshop with English version and some actual PPU titles - www.blackpointmusic.cz.

They seemed so surreal to a youg man from midwestern America. I've managed to find a small handful of their albums over the years, and have my eye on that great big Globus collection someday when my ship comes in - or my wife lets me spend the money ;-)<BR/><BR/>I introduced them to the ProgArchives this year as well - check out the humble bio and some people's album reviews:<BR/><BR/>http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2800Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-79259885305417540472007-07-26T19:04:00.000-07:002007-07-26T19:04:00.000-07:00very informative, but none of the albums are avail...very informative, but none of the albums are available to download anymore. is it possible that they can be re-uploaded? if so thank you very much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-1148628937436942282006-05-26T00:35:00.000-07:002006-05-26T00:35:00.000-07:00That why blogs are crucialWhere else, could i get ...That why blogs are crucial<BR/>Where else, could i get this information?<BR/>THANK YOU!!!Marimbeiro de Zavalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046624529824482922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-1148503141746493172006-05-24T13:39:00.000-07:002006-05-24T13:39:00.000-07:00What a BIG great post ! :OGreetings ,ROb.What a BIG great post ! :O<BR/><BR/>Greetings ,<BR/><BR/>ROb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-1148404931809572582006-05-23T10:22:00.000-07:002006-05-23T10:22:00.000-07:00thanks for the very thorough account on plastic pe...thanks for the very thorough account on plastic people. perhaps it should be added that the checz republic has, for some time now, one of the most amazing music scenes in europe with literally hundreds of top quality bands, lot of them well known abroad esp. in so-called avant circles. they also somehow manage to have a recognisable feel/style of their own (perhaps it's the language...). well worth checking out and tamizdat.org is a good place for that. a lot of checz music can be found also at rermegacorp.com. <BR/>thanks again for the entry and your very nice blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-1148281582828358592006-05-22T00:06:00.000-07:002006-05-22T00:06:00.000-07:00Interesting Story!ill download some laterInteresting Story!<BR/><BR/>ill download some laterDirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23855789.post-1148276602300888012006-05-21T22:43:00.000-07:002006-05-21T22:43:00.000-07:00A very good post indeed.

Thorough and well-written, very good and educational, what more can anyone ask for in a blog really? <BR/><BR/>Oh yea, good music, we can ask for that :D Ive listened thru the 1969-72 concerts and they are interesting. A bit raw soundwise, lots of cool jamming, freaked out stuff and weird Czech vocals. (weird lyrics too I imagine, tho I dont understand a word).
