Description
The book by musician Mikoláš Chadima, ALTERNATIVA, has become one of the most significant testimonies to Czech rock in the 1970s. The first volume of the planned two-part edition maps the author's musical beginnings and ends in 1981 when he disbanded The Extempore Band. In addition to a detailed overview of Chadima's musical career, the book contains an extraordinarily valuable description of what was happening both in front of and behind the scenes of musical activities in Czechoslovakia during the era of 'normalization.' The author recalls musicians, bands, events, the backstage, and the overall mood of that Husák-era 'timelessness' with brutal honesty, sparing no one across the entire spectrum of the music scene from official bands to the underground scene.
