As you can read in the backcover, this cassette is released in only 200 copies, so it makes an ultrarare item.Luckily, the work around the movie about the underground music in PULA in the 70s and 80s saved somehow all these pearls from disappearance.
This is a compilation of Istrian rock bands released by the slovenian small label "Slovenija" from Koper, a small beautiful city at the top of the Istrian peninsula`s southwestern shores.Here are featured 4 band (of which I know only 2).The first one is CASTEL, I don`t know anything about them, they play some new romantic stuff, very nice.KUD IDIJOTI is a band you already know, and this stuff is taken from their 1986 demo you already know too.The next band is H.T.B. and I don`t know nothing about them, except the fact that their bassist later became a member of The Spoons from Pula.Nice rock.The last band SUMSKI PJEVACI GORTANOVE UVALE is probably the most interesting of those four bands, with an extremely interesting melodical palette and two milestone musicians of the scene of Pula, Goran Curic-Cotka and Sandro Perocevic (incidentally, engineers and producers of my band`s Hatross demo from 1992, and Cotka also of the one from 1996, and soon of the new Devastation material - this is a scoop!!).
All in all, a nice compilation for all those who wonders about some Istrian bands that were not that exposed at that time..

Now something found somewhere on the net, a rare soundboard live recording of Bajaga (ex-Riblja Corba guitarist) and his band Instruktori.This one is taken in Osijek (Croatia), and I wrote Croatia because this is a recording from 1985, and that means that Yugoslavia was still one country, and Croatia was part of it.After the beginning of war in 1990/91, almost a decade will pass until the first Serbian performers will do shows in Croatia again.History made its turn, and Bajaga was one of the first Serbian performers to return to Croatia.
Now, another Serbian band I got from Vladimir, I cannot define what is this band into, the fact I found on the net is that this is (or might be) an alter ego band of OSLOBODIOCI, a band I presented few posts ago. Also, I found out that this album is not released in 1995 (as written on the file) but in 1993.The music they play is a kind of Rock that I can`t put anywhere, even if it is so simple.I can compare them to, let`s say, Psihomodo Pop.. Well, you try..

The album here is rare to find,so here is the mp3,and the partial scan of the album cover.Tingl Tangl is the band of the Istrian Rock guru Franci Blaskovic,the band that preceeded his today`s band Gori Ussi Winnetou.Tingl Tangl was leaded by Franci`s wife Arinka,a music professor and an outstanding vocalist.The songs are some kind of Rock-circus parody,but very,very pleasant to listen.Here is the whole album in an excellent vinyl-rip (not done by me) plus two single songs,available only on single records.This is the only ATT album,they also had a number of singles mostly with tracks not available on this album.I saw that somebody searched this blog for this album,and I am very glad I can post it now,as it is an album I really love.
