Tearooms in post-revolution Czechoslovakia symbolised places through which new spiritualities were flowing, and the influx of largely uncharted ways of life closely intertwined with new age, ambient, folk and minimalism. With their minds altered thanks to smuggled records by Fripp & Eno or Steve Reich, this loose network of musicians had begun composing meditative music, using loops and handmade instruments, with a different sensibility. Compared to the boisterous Zappa-adjacent and booze-soaked underground movement, which was led by Plastic People of the Universe and provoked the state authorities, this music was meant instead for tea rooms and spiritual sites like churches or monasteries, as if occupying some place where time flows anticlockwise. Music journalist Pavel Klusák dubbed this 1990s scene a “tearoom alternative”. Experimental folk singer Oldřich Janota, Jaroslav Kořán’s various ensembles like Modrá or Orloj Snivců (The Horologe of Dreamers) or Irena and Vojtěch Havlovi were drawn by the light and composed music that didn’t match the fast pace of newly imported capitalism.

There is more than one artist with this name, including: 1) The Amazing is a Swedish indie rock band. 2) The Amazing is French duo Brandy Volant and Fabrice Ligny.
1) The Amazing is a Swedish indie rock band whose members include Reine Fiske, who plays with Dungen, and Christoffer Gunrup, who played in Granada and with Anna Järvinen. The band is often called a "super group from Sweden", but the band members think this sounds too contrived; "The Amazing is a natural process, a force of nature". Labels notwithstanding, The Amazing are a collective composed of members who have played (or still play) for Dungen, Granada, Sagor & Swing, Anna Järvinen, Life on Earth! and Dreamboy. Their self-titled debut album, The Amazing, is wide-ranging and spans everything from groovy electric folk rock, via psychedelic pop, to airy acoustic ballads. It was released in 2009, followed up by singles for the tracks Dragon and Deportation Day. Their latest EP Wait For A Light To Come was released in 2010.
