Formed in Prague in 1990, The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa is a pioneering Czech alternative band known for blending elements of shoegaze, ambient, and experimental rock. Founded by Jan P. Muchow, the group gained international attention in the early 1990s with releases such as *…Fluidtrance Centauri…*, establishing them as one of the first Eastern European acts to break into the global alternative scene. Their evolving sound, marked by lush textures and atmospheric depth, continues to influence Czech indie and electronic music today.
