V/A - Bloodstains Across Yugoslavia 1997

After renewing some Bloodstains posts I add another gem of this series, this time with massive hits from Ex-Yugoslavia, we stay also on the Mediterranean Sea, the place I love and now would to be. Today it gets very frosty again and I hate winter but maybe this hot compilation helps with twenty two glowing stars to get my engine started, who knows? Fact is, today is Friday, soon is weekend, I drink a delicious caramel coffee and I'm amazingly fit. To the slab not much: the créme de la créme of early Yugo-bands are here together and the song selection is quite superb and by using the search function you'll find plenty records of the bands (sure not online anymore, ask for a re-upp). The bike remains in the closet, subway preferred. Wish everyone a nice weekend!!

V/A - YU Punk 1978-1982 Vol.1

Another superb re-post from my old Blog and can't say much about this release, because it's a self-made compilation or something like that, but who cares. The fact is many of the songs appeared already on the Bloodstains Across Yugoslavia and the terrific Novi Punk Val compilation album from 1981. The creme de la creme of the yugoslavian punk rock scene is represented here, some songs probably only here but that I don't know exactly. In any case, this is a damn horny compilation and a big fat thanks to the makers who searched for all that stuff and shared with us. Yugoslavian punkrock kicks strong ass.

PEKINŠKA PATKA - Plitka Poezija 1980

Being one of the first Punk combos in Yugoslavia, they played a major role in opening doors for many bands that came after and their debut is a fucking great longplayer and the best record from Pekinška Patka. The second one (Strah Od Monotonije) is a little more nuanced affair. They turned towards darker and become more wavier but it's still a solid record. Numerous web entries testify to the popularity of this extraordinary combo which consisted of Čonta (vocals), Srele (guitars), Bora (bass) and Laci (drums). Formed in Novi Sad 1978, their first single, Biti Ružan, Pametan I Mlad, sold over 35,000 copies. This type of music created an impressively large youth culture in Yugoslavia, the record could be officially released, and even today the fans are happy when Pekinška Patka play individual concerts. In 2012 this classic was reissued, rightly so, and they're also represented on relevant compilations. Don't miss this fantastic album with sixteen Killers! B.t.w., congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Champions League, I supported Liverpool, but the royals scored the goal.

PEKINŠKA PATKA - Strah Od Monotonije 1981

After their great debut Plitka Poezija from 1980 Pekinška Patka released their 2nd and last album again on Jugoton Records and they changed their sound complete into a more alternative/wave (darkwave) sound. This makes the album more interesting I think and the distinctive voice of the singer is made for it. I can imagine that some will be disappointed but the change of the sound is not done badly, my hit is clearly 'Monotonija', wavige keys meets a driving bass playing, the baritone voice and the monotone rhythm kicks the song to Joy Division feelings and after that comes with 'Neko' a groovy punk firecracker like from the old times...the LP is rounded off with a beautiful ballad. A real good album I think - Listen!!! So now I have to go for a cold shower!

PARAF - A Dan Je Tako Lijepo Počeo 1980

Moving to Ex-Yugoslavia and meet Paraf, together with Pekinška Patka one of my favourite band and this is their debut record on RTV Ljubljana with fourteen sophisticated jewels.

Paraf was a punk rock and later post-punk band from Rijeka, Croatia, known as one of the pioneers of punk rock in the former Yugoslavia. Following the expansion of punk rock in Europe, teenagers Valter Kocijancic (guitar, vocals), Zdravko Cabrijan (bass) and Dušan Ladavac "Pjer" (drums) formed Paraf in 1976. They played their first gig at Belvedere in Rijeka on December 31, 1976. The band's early live appearances were at Rijeka high-school parties along with the bands of similar musical orientation, Termiti, Protest and Lom. During the late 1978, the band started performing frequently, even outside Rijeka. They played in Ljubljana, Belgrade, Zagreb. The band also performed at the Novi Sad BOOM festival, as well as an opening act for The Ruts concert in Zagreb. In 1979, they released their debut single "Rijeka", a cover version of the Ramones song "Chinese Rocks", but Kocijancic signed as the song author in order to test the Yugoslav critics of the time. Despite the intention, it was the Dzuboks magazine journalist Petar Lukovic who recognized that the song was a cover version. The band also appeared on the various artists compilation album Novi punk Val 78-80, released by ZKP RTLJ in 1980, with the song "Narodna Pjesma" ("Folk Song").

After several delays, the band debut album A Dan Je Tako Lijepo Poceo... (And The Day Started Out So Nicely...) was released by ZKP RTLJ in the Spring of 1980. Due to provocative lyrics, the album was classified as kitsch product, and thus liable to additional taxation, despite subsequent changes to some of the lyrics as well as the selection of a different album cover. In line with the punk rock ideology, the band addressed several topics which were at the time new to the Yugoslav rock: the songs featured ironic usages of communist slogans, mocked, at the time, one of the most popular bands, Bijelo Dugme, in the song "Pritanga I Vaza", insulting the police in the censored version of "Narodna pjesma", and dealt with social themes typical for a port city. The album was produced by the band's close associate Goran Lisica "Fox", assisted by Igor Vidmar. (source: parafrijeka.blogspot)

ELEKTRIČNI ORGAZAM - s/t LP 1981

You can say what you want a lot of good bands came from former Yugoslavia and the following belongs irrevocably to that. Električni Orgazam (Electric Orgasm) is a Serbian punkrock band from Belgrade, formed 1980 by Srđan 'Gile' Gojković (vox + guitars), Ljubomir 'Jovec' Jovanović (guitars), Marina Vulić (bass) and Ljubomir Đukić (keys + organs). Originally starting as a combination of new wave, punk and post-punk, the band later slowly changed their style, becoming a mainstream rock act. They were one of the most notable acts of the former Yugoslav rock scene. This is their debut album, released in 1981 by the renowned Jugoton label, featuring eleven songs of fairly straight-forward punk sound with a small dose of post punk aesthetics. The album had positive reactions by both the audience and the critics, including a review of the album by the NME journalist Kris Bohn, who stated that the band was one of the most exciting non-British acts. Together with Paraf and Pekinška Patka they are among my favorite bands from the Balkans. Catchy songs, great music and properly at all times.
