Be aware that that site looks a little out of date. It claims they only do
black vinyl while in fact all kinds of facinating colours are possible. If I
were you I´d simply send a mail with my list of wishes and a rough budget,
they are quite flexible with regard to packaging and if you want something
unusual they´ll figure out wether that´s possible and at what price.

The most microsoundy thing I have that I know for sure was pressed there is
David Kristian´s "city without windows" soundtrack which I happen to know
was pressed with speciffic instructions to keep it as close to the cd master
as possible (regardless of volume) and that one sounds marvelous.

The stories I hear about czech pressings range from quite positive to full
blow cowboy tales with shipments getting stuck for months, etc. It´s
probably cheaper, but there is also a lot to be said for profesionals that
will contact you as soon as anything looks amis, reply to emails promptly,
etc.

Good luck with your project,
Kas.
