ZABRANJENO PUSENJE (BiH) - Das ist Walter , lp 1984

..and this is the second excellent album from 1984,the album from one of the strongest band of the 80s coming from the beautiful city of Sarajevo.ZP (translated it is No Smoking) when the war started,they escaped in Croatia and Serbia,and the band splitted in two equally ultrabad sequels,the Serbian ZP (with the vocalist and the symbol of the first band,Nele Karajlic) and the Croatian ZP (with the guitarist and soul of the first band,Sejo Sexton).I could talk for hours about the ZP of the 80s,but instead,I give you this great and strange album,less Poppy than Bajaga`s and more to the ground and more instrumentalistically sophisticated.After the Punk outburst of Anarhija All Over Bascarsija,the band touches almost every corner of New Wave and rock music.One sad thing is that the title of the album (as well as the intro) are taken from a TV serie called "Valter defends Sarajevo" in which Sarajevo was shown as a symbol of never giving up..
after all that happened to the city and its citizens,I am very happy that the city is breathing again with full lungs.I love you,Sarajevo.

Tracks:
01.Intro/Das ist Walter
02.Anarhija all over Bascarsija
03.Abid
04.Put u srediste rudnika Kreka Banovici
05.Selena,vrati se
06.Necu da budem svabo u dotiranom filmu
07.Seki is on the road again
08.Kino Prvi Maj
09.Pamtim to kao da je bilo danas
10.Zenica blues
11.Cejeni odlaze

BAJAGA (Ser) - Pozitivna geografija , lp 1984

These days I gave an ear to two albums from the good old Yugoslavian Rock scene,and accidentally both were from 1984,a very good year for the ex-Yu Rock discography.This one is the first album from Momcilo Bajagic-Bajaga,at the time still the guitarist of Riblja Corba.Everyone expected some Hard Rock album like the RC`s,but Bajaga made a collection of funny easy-listening Poppy New-Wave songs.It is a collection of songs that Bajaga first offered to RC,but the leader Bora Djordjevic refused them all,and that was also one of the reasons Bajaga left RC soon after.A nice album,bringing me some nice memories,and almost a must for all of you collectors of Yu-Rock records.

Tracks:
01.Berlin
02.Mali slonovi
03.Poljubi me
04.Limene trube
05.Znam coveka
06.Tekila gerila
07.Marlena
08.Kosooka
09.Tamara
10.Pustite me druze
11.Papaline
