SCH were extremely alternative and experimental band/project that pushed the boundaries of "extreme music". Influenced by vast array of artistic styles and aesthetics from Krautrock, Avant-prog, punk, hard-core, industrial, noise and finally electronica, they built up a cult-like following across former Yugoslavia.
I think their inclusion to PA will be justified, especially for fans of Krautrock, electronica, Avant-prog, post-rock and RIO... However, I am not sure under which genre they would fit more properly, because SCH changed styles considerably, since 1983 when they began as new wave/punk/reggae band. Then from 1985-95 they were noise/psych/industrial rock and finally since 2002 they pursue more experimental, ambient techno-electronic minimalism....
Here you can listen to some samples.... If admitted, I volunteer to provide a full bio with discography.  |

You are right, they have psych elements too, but those are very heavy and noisy psych elements. Of course their "electronic" phase also revokes sometimes a "Kosmische muzik" from German 1970s Krautrock scene, but both early Tangerine Dream or Can and later post-punk industrial rhythms as those of DAF or Einsturzende Neubauten are heavily present. They are very eclectic sometimes... Hm, I just used the word that is present in one of the PA genres...
Out of their 11 official audio releases until now, roughly 4 albums belong to Electronic style (computers, programming, synths and guitars) - contemporary phase, while 7 are heavy/psych/noise/industrial (more or less classic rock lineup of guitars, bass and drums, with additional synths, loops and nooisy stuff) - past phase.

Sorry Seyo but SCH were rejected by Psych/Space team because of their weakness of typical psych elements.
IMHO, fitter for electronic?...now evaluated by RIO/avant team as well. |

Thanks Damo for your reply. In order to help different teams evaluate this band here are two albums:
- During Wartime Again represents a pinnacle of their heavy-noise rock - Dance represents for me the best moment of their electronic phase Enjoy!

Grupa 220 is famous of their early debut from 1968 (beat/psych/folk-rock). During mid 1970s they issued the second LP which is more heavy prog/hard rock.
Never heard of "Draco". Can you provide some more details? Thanks. |

Ah, Drago Mlinarec! Yes he is a prominent singer/songwriter who helped expanding the beat and rock sound with pastoral folk-rock, Floydian prog rock and some elements of jazz and pop. Highly recommended are his first 3 albums listed here above.
