About M.Kocáb & M.Pavlíček

Michael Kocáb a Michal Pavlíček recorded Černé Světlo (or Black Light) in 1987 and the final mix-down was completed in 1988, but album wasn’t released until 1990 by Bonton, when the fall of the Communist regime brought a flood of previously banned releases on the market. Černé Světlo is a dark electronic travelogue, a collection of minimal, instrumental semi-improvisations with Pavlícek on Roland GR-700 guitar synth and Kocáb on Yamaha DX-7 synth and Mirage Ensoniq sampler/sequencer keyboard, both using heavy doses of Roland DEP-5 and Yamaha SPX-90 multi-effect processors. This soundtrack to a nightmare is also a concept album of sorts, starting with the undisturbed, lulling first track titled “White Light Inside Womb” and going to the dismal “Black Light” epic. The music has hints of Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack as well as King Crimson’s Discipline period, but the album really stands on its own as a coherent, if bleak, electronic voyage.
