The record was somewhat of an American breakthrough for the band and also marked the first time that they had worked with an American producer.[3] A 2000 tour in support of the album coincided with the band's fifteenth anniversary.[9][10]

Production

Uši was produced by Dan Rathburn, of the band Idiot Flesh.[11]

Critical reception

Francois Couture, in an AllMusic review, wrote that producer "Dan Rathbun captured the band members' live energy while allowing them an ample sound for their more symphonic inclinations."[3] CMJ New Music Monthly stated that "a studied roughness continues to creep into the kinetic art-rock/jazz/ethnic/punk/chamber pop fusion theorized by key personnel Miroslav Wanek and Jindra Dolansky."[1]

The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote that the album "features noodling guitars ("Oko"), thick bass riffs ("Bosi") and epic jams (Usi") —all of which the band delivers with its own distinct style."[12] The Province opined that "the band rocks like almost no other artist since Frank Zappa or Soft Machine."[4]
