Sup. One thing has been bothering me ever since I first visited this website. If you look at the country of origin categories in this database, you'll notice that out of all historic countries that don't exist anymore Yugoslavia is the only one that is retroactively called back to. Other states such as Czechoslovakia, Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Soviet Union and so on, are correctively assigned to their closest modern era counterparts when it comes to categorizing bands (eg. the USSR based group Pesniary is assigned to Belarus, the Czechoslovakian group Collegium Musicum is assigned to Slovakia, Stern Combo Meissen from DDR to Germany).
I personally think it's pretty inconsistent. The categories should either consist of exclusively modern countries (remove Yugoslavia and reassign those old Jugoton formations to their respective 21st century Balkan countries) or list the appropriate historic states.

TBH, I don't mind keeping Yugoslavia (and kept Czechoslovakia) as legit country entries in our PA DB. For the DDR, it was quite simpler, since this was a fusion and not fission. Would we recognize Kosovo as a legit country? Edited by Sean Trane - January 20 2025 at 02:47 |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

As a German I am very aware that the DDR music scene and the Western German one at the time were separated and quite different. The Krautrock genre in particular was much more connected to other Western styles. As far as I'm aware no DDR band has any similarity to this, neither do I know any DDR progressive electronic artist (which for sure had to do with availability of instruments and technology), although Tangerine Dream were hugely popular. The closest connection is maybe Stern Meissen - Triumvirat. Novalis can be connected to much of the more melodic-symphonic stuff that dominated DDR prog (also of course through the poetic at times German lyrics), but still at the time the Western German scene was closer to all kinds of other countries in style than to the DDR. I know this kind of comment wasn't quite the thread opener's intention, but anyway...
