The joyful, tender, almost too tender, but at times extremely intense album entitled 'Televize' was made by the inflamed, wholly focused, at times completely scattered, dissipated and organically chaotic ensemble called the Roman Radkovic Collective. It throws at the listener a threshold music and a poetic experience of the world. If one record can mediate otherness, a music which can never be imagined without first-hand experience, it is the LP with the magical title 'Televize'. It sounds like a gargantuan musical belly which can swallow anything, churn it, mix it and eject it back into the world in unexpected constructs. These are full of broken rhythms, dense layers of sound, disfigured melodies, chants, recitations, hectic yelps and urgent tidings, while showing occasional glimpses of precious lines of melody. Although it may seem that the main logic behind all the output of the Roman Radkovic Collective can be found in extensivity, a total surf on noise, free and grotesque pop-cultural soundscapes (we hear bits of classy Czech evergreens like the Czech anthem 'Zalúbil Sa Chlapec', 'Yellow Submarine', 'Kdyz Jsem Sel Z Hradista', but also various confessions, laments, art brut poems, expressions of absolute spontaneity, imagination and boundlessness), after repeated listening the intensity of the protagonists shines through. Intensity in the sense of a measured deepening of the internal need to express oneself, to circle around the obsessively loved topics, texts, their heroes and loves.
