The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa was a Czech alternative rock band, formed in 1990 by Jan Muchow, Jan Gregar, Petr Wegner and Irna Libowitz.[1] Early shoegaze influences included Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cocteau Twins, and My Bloody Valentine.


The band released the EP Pigment in 1991. This album, along with 1992's Susurrate, featured a feedback-drenched psychedelic rock sound.[citation needed]


From there, the band moved into ambient and techno influenced soundscapes as evidenced by their 1993 album Free-D produced with Guy Fixsen.[citation needed]Free-D marked the end of the original line-up and something of a hiatus for the band releasing only the 1994 remix EP AstralaVista in the following six years.


1999's In Dust 3 featured Muchow and the actress Kateřina Winterová on 11 tracks of laptop-pop and post rock ambience. As opposed to the pastoral feel and dubby continuous mix of Free-D, this album consisted of pop songs voiced by actress-singer Winterová backed by the electro-acoustic soundscapes of Muchow. This downtempo sample-infused style was further pursued on 2003's Slowthinking album released with an accompanying Fastmoving/Slowthinking DVD featuring the single I'm (Not Really) Optimistic.[citation needed]


The Watching Black album came out in 2006, and in 2011, the band released the 101010 DVD, featuring a live performance recorded on 10 October 2010.
