How about Indexi's Modra Rijeka? Isn't it prog?
 
Leb i Sol 2 and Rucni Rad are fabulous jazz rock (with strong prog accent).
 
Probably the most part of bands from ex yugoslavia were more strongly influenced by jazz rock, hard rock and heavy prog than by real progressive rock movement strictu sensu. By the way, from the few I've heard the quality standard is high, obviously referring to monster albums as the three above mentioned.
 
Great purchases, great discoveries.Thumbs%20Up

It's true, I never heard of Tako while talking to some ex-Yugoslav...it seems they are appreciated much more on the West than in ex-Yu...
I agree that prog bands were only occasionally prog, and I agree that, unfortunately there was (is!) a lot of plagiarism, although I wouldn't say everything is plagiarism.

I do not agree, they have some very good and very complex prog moments from the beginning to the Crna Dama.

Surely he was a great  manager...there's a story he payed Vlatko Stefanovski quite a lot of money  to publish "Uspavanka za Radmilu M." under his (Bregović's) nameLOL

I don't agree Dugme was 100% plagarism ,it's a harsh thing to say, but true is Bregović remains most controversial person on a scene, plagiarism-wise.


Belgrade band EKATARINA VELIKA ("EKV") were Art Rock at all, awesome but not Prog. ALL THE BAND DIED BY HEROIN OVERDOSE IN FEW YEARS. that´s shame.


Yes, that's a shame. Great band. All dead.  They lived rock 'n'roll until  the end...

I will strongly oppose my taste here...I really like Serbian and Croatian new wave bands (Šarlo Akrobata, EKV, Haustor and Idoli are geniuses, Šarlo even RIO/prog), but I can't  stand Azra.Dead

I'm not familar with that. What I've heard of Mandić, he was high quality pop, even ahead of his time.

No wayWink. We have here listed more then 30 bands from ex-Yugoslavia, and our special collaborator Seyo is planning to add loads more of ex-Yu artists. I'm also submitting new addition of bands from former Yu republics.

So, I won't say there's no prog here...

Just saw this thread...

Alogia are doing a great job in progressive metal
this is actually the only band from ex-Yug. I have checked

Novi Dan is a good example of what they can do... and in their native language (I think)

I would recommend the debut "Grupa Galija" (also often mistakenly referred to as "Prva plovidba") which includes a famous "Gospi", very similar to CAMEL' "Mystic Queen". "Ipak verujem u sebe" is their probably the best produced and musically important album. The second, "Druga plovidba", is not bad either, with some GENESIS-like sympho moments.

Ok, thanks. The most part of the tracks are taken from their later albums...
 
anyway, the samples on this site sounds very good. Another interesting band. I will try to find out some of their early output.

No, Andrea, I would not recommend this. It is rather poor collection with only few prog tracks. Don't waste money.
Try to find any of their first 3 albums, that is pretty much all worth hearing from this band.

I have added two rare jazz rock bands from ex Yugo (and both Slovenia-based): JUTRO and SONČNA POT. I would recommend especially the self-titled "Sončna pot" album Thumbs%20Up
