Well, it means something like "end", "execution" or "demise". Typical phrase is "smak svijeta" meaning "the end of the world"...

I don't know anything about "Smak", but it sounds a lot like "Muack!"...

All mentioned are excellent artists! ELEKTRICNI ORGAZAM and SARLO AKROBATA are also excellent, but they belong to another story (post punk, new wave). TIME debut album is a milestone of ex-YU prog (and not only prog) rock, but check my review of DRAGO MLINAREC first album, released in 1971, before TIME!! |

Welcome everyone! Nice to see some folks discussing the "good ole" exYU prog from the 1970s Maybe we can create a separate thread for exYU prog? I expect many of you can write some reviews too, I can't do it all by myself Go here http://www.progarchives.com/Band-list.asp?country=203 and check there are still many albums without reviews. Just please, read the guidelines and instructions how to write a review. It is available elesewhere on the forum. Regarding BIJELO DUGME, here is my opinion. I have been contemplating their addition here for quite some time. Their first 4-5 albums can arguably be included into "prog related" category. Their style of that time was similar to URIAH HEEP, DEEP PURPLE, ARGENT, BIRTH CONTROL... of course with notorius addition of "shepherd's rock" folk-influenced lyrics. Later stuff during 1980s was horrible very commercialized (although their first phase was also very popular, anyone rememeber "Dugmemania" phenomenon?) "arena" style mainstream pop/rock with Balkan folk, not interesting for prog people. I was personally never a fan of BIJELO DUGME (except when I was 13-14 old), but their overall career probably deserves mentioning them in "prog-related" section... ? |

I can't believe all people listening to "Bijelo dugme" are so desperately stupid. |

Kazimire, brate, are you nuts??? Bregovic can't do a squat compared to R.M. Tocak & Smak, not to mention Leb i Sol, Yu-grupa, Time, Korni grupa, ... Bijelo dugme's music is called shepherd's rock- because the inspiration for it came from listening to the sheep doing "beeeee". And true, "Bijelo dugme" is the most commercial bend of ex-yu, and people listen to them. Because the people are the sheep. Most of their fans listen to Turbo-folk, a unique amalgam of Radio Teheran's top-of-the-pops, coyote hawling and a rudimentary skill of pressing two keys on a synthesizer. I believe that proves my previous point.
Terramystic, could you clarify how on Earth can "Bijelo dugme" be related to progressive rock??? |

Smak's debut, Crna dama and Stranice.. are all good albums. My fave
ex-yu prog group besides Begnagrad, Leb i sol, Indexi and Tako...
Bijelo dugme is more commercial but some of their songs could be called prog related - this side is well represented on a compillation called "Hitovi 3". |

Crna Dama is, very good record, i.e. they had ideas, but they are in much more commercial arrangement than on their first and probably the best album. You know how it happens with prog.
But if you are interested in Yu, Bijelo Dugme is alpha and omega, they are very commercial, but their composer is simply great musical talent and lof ot his material can be easily called prog. BTW, you know, you can download anything of YU rock - for those interested in Smak, start here with songs Ulazak u Harem and Biska 2. Then follow your heart. :) |

Thanks for good advice, pero. If I'll visit Croatia again I'll try to find albums of JOSIPA LISAC, ELEKTRIČNI ORGAZAM, ŠARLO AKROBATA, SEPTEMBAR. By the way, my wife and I were in Porech too - wonderful town. Edited by NotAProghead |

Hey Livnica!(nice to see another member from the ex-YU btw.) I have Crna Dama on vinyl but my record player is broken so I haven't had a chance to listen to it. And since you seem to be an expert (or a big fan) on Smak I want to know if the record is (or any other) worth buying? My dad mentoined they are great many times, but he likes allmost everything so he's opinion does't count.. |

Friends(prijatelji) don't argue about Snow Dog.First my mistake i haven't seen the Smak topic that was forged before my Smak.I will continue in that room to write my posts.But i haven't seen that topic soo i will continue here to spread Smak.Second Snow Dog can you bring back this topic to original place becoase this is about Smak not about what i suggest to listen. Third: I created this topic soo i can show the World that Smak is really exellent band which can be compared to Zeppelin,Queen and otheer bands which have been made as a legends of music.I also wanted to see if any of you English,German,American... have heared of Smak the yugoslavian rock band. I want to say pozzz-hay to people that have come here before me and spread Smak,Leb i Sol,Time,Yu Grupa,Korni Grupa,Buldozer,Partibrejkers music! |

Yes indead, Time was first and probably the best prog band from former Yougoslavia. Another interesting ones are JOSIPA LISAC - Dnevnik prve ljubavi, INDEXI, LEB I SOL, ELEKTRIČNI ORGAZAM, ŠARLO AKROBATA, SEPTEMBAR I see that you were on holidays in Rovinj. I was every summer in nearby coast town Poreč |

I have only SMAK's compilation, "Istorija" and I can say the band deserves attention. I think sooner or later I'll find other albums of this band. P.S. I'm so grateful to the guy in a small record store in Rovin (Croatia), who introduced to me some good prog bands from ex-Yugoslavia: TIME (their first album became one of my all favs), LEB I SOL, SMAK, KORNI GRUPA, INDEXI. |

No, that was a joke. It was not intended as a jerky response. Hmmmmmm, I'm getting all serious again now!
