GORDI - Čovek (1978)

 









































GORDI was formed in November 1977 by Zlatimir Zlatko Manojlović. The band's first lineup consisted of Zlatko Manojlović (guitar, vocals), Zlatko's brother Goran Manojlović (keyboards), Stevan Milutinović Steva (drums) and Dragan Janković (bass guitar). After Zdenko Pomper replaced Janković on bass guitar, the band released its debut album "Čovek" in 1978. Album featured song "Misli", which was previously released on the B-side of the single "Žeđ", the last single released by Manojlović's previous band Dah. The album was progressive rock-influenced and in an interwiev for Rock Express Zlatko Manojlović described the band's sound as "psychedelic". Soon after the album release, Pomper was replaced by Slobodan Svrdlan, and Gordi released their second studio album "Gordi 2". The album was released in 1979. While the band's first album was mainly progressive rock-oriented, "Gordi 2" featured more hard rock elements. In 1980 Zlatko Manojlović released his first solo album "Zlatko i njegove gitare" and in 1981 the band released their third studio album "Gordi 3". Although progressive/hard rock-oriented, "Gordi 3" also featured pop music elements. The same year, Gordi performed as the opening band on Ian Gillan Band concert in Beograd. In 1981, Gordi became a power trio, after Stevan Milutinović was replaced by Čedomir Petrović "Čeda", and Goran Manojlović left the band. The band signed for Jugoton and released the album "Pakleni trio" which marked Gordi's shift toward's heavy metal and is considered one of the milestones on the former Yugoslav hard rock and heavy metal scene. In 1982, the band released "Kraljica smrti" album, however, they failed to sustain their popularity and disbanded two years after the album release. (from wikipedia)

ROMANTIČNE BOJE - Demo (1986)

 









































ROMANTIČNE BOJE were a synth-pop band from Niš, a town in the South of Serbia (ex Yugoslavia). They started as a punk band, and then, out of the blue, Zoran Cvetkovic Cvele, who had played the guitar, bought a Casio synthesizer and a new band was formed......a young, dynamic and energetic trio. Their first gig happened in The Music Club (the most famous club of the time), and after that they recorded their first demo tapes “Noć” and “Poslednji tango” in the studio of Radio Niš. The demos were constantly played on the radio, and the audience was thrilled by the freshness of their sound. The band was not completely satisfied by it, so they bought better synths and soon their music became more refined and sophisticated. They received some great reviews from the music critics of the time and decided it was the time for a proper vinyl release. Everyone loved them, their tracks were played regularly on radio stations, and they even made a video for “Tišina”. However, PGP RTB, the most important record label of the time, didn’t want to release their album, so Cvele got very disappointed and the band unfortunately ceased to exist. Their major influences were The Human League, Kraftwerk and John Foxx, but they cannot be denied the originality of sound. Band members: Zoran Cvetković (synthesizer & vocal), Goran Radenković (synthesizer) and Goran Veljković (rhythm machine). (from sqwelsch.blogspot.hr)
