After a surprise with an acoustic album Knock On Wood, the tireless Young Gods return with a new electric album, Everybody Knows, which is a sophisticated mix of acoustic music, avant-garde electronics, released these days on CD and LP.

To say the pioneering musicians of the Swiss group that are masters of samples and electronics, is somewhat misleading. Their work is more accurately characterized the designation "musical architect" or "the creator of soundscapes. The new album by the group arrives baptized in Prague, called "Everybody Knows. The package captures the city with skyscrapers - but upside down, which accurately reflects the intent of musicians: their language is an urban music of the last decades, from Jimi Hendrix to the e-songwriter, and yet they always managed to find a new perspective and new content. The album creates a world unto itself and connects to the historic achievements of recent years (knock on wood, play Woodstock), as well as earlier groundbreaking album (Sky TV, Second Nature).

Young Gods have been around for over a quarter century, but unlike most of his peers are still moving forward and managed to influence the music events. Launched its first two albums so far unheard audio revolution, creative use of sound samplers, creating structures that have existed only in human imagination. The artists who openly endorses the influence of the group include Sepultura and The Edge of U2.
