NEW LP
F.O.A.D. Records
Official reissue of this iconic Yugoslavian tape, appearing for the first time on vinyl! There are cult Balkan bands and there is LUNA. Emerged from the arty punk and post punk scene in Novi Sad in the late 70s, with some of the most prominent musicians from other big bands of the time (such as the young guitarist from Pekinška Patka, Bale, or the drummer from the mega-influential new wave YU rock band Ekatarina Velika and drum innovator Firchie) and with Jasmina on synth and Slobodan Tišma, one of the most influential poets/writers in the Balkans. They were active for a very short period and played probably less than 30 gigs, but they did in Yugoslavia what JOY DIVISION did globally. Their only album, "Nestvarne stvari", was released posthumously in 1984 in a limited edition, and the cassette compilation "Hokej Klub Virginitas" was released in 1988 in only 100 copies, collecting their early tracks from 1982/1983. Here it is available again as a deluxe gatefold LP adding a bonus 7" with two songs from the early days of LA STRADA (LUNA side project) with liner notes by Belgrade underground post punk wizard Nikola Vitković. Incredibly influential darkwave/proto-goth that ranks among the best and most original ones of the golden era of post/punk in Yugoslavia. As a bonus, you'll also find a download card with the entire album + a rare LUNA track not included on the vinyl release! Made in cooperation with Guranje S Litice, a unique museum of Balkan underground music...
