[@lorenzom2815]

Only conclusion I can come to after watching a ton of these soviet/serbian/yugoslavian new-wave videos is that in 1980s Eastern Europe a wormhole connected to the year 3000 was somehow opened.

[@ditchweed2275]

LoMo Yugoslavia was socialist but it was non-aligned, meaning, it had no ties with the USSR. People lump them together with the eastern/soviet block which Yugoslavia was never part of. They were a psudo communist moderately liberal and open to the west commercially and culturally. Big difference from the Soviet block who on the contrary were under a tyranical regime.

DEMOLITION GROUP comes from Slovenia. They started in 1983 under the name Gast'r'bajtr's. In those days they played their own typical variation of white funk. As Gastarbeiters they released two LP's in former Yugoslavia. In 1986 Gastarbeiters transformed their music into a fusion of heavy metal, funk and electronic rhythms. They felt the name DEMOLITION GROUP was right for the new style. They played many important European festivals such as SAN REMO rock '88, BARCELONA BIENAL '87, BERLIN INDEPENDENCE Days ('89), DRUGA GODBA ('86) and others. Soon after their coming out (1986) they were signed by the Italian label CRUISIN' HIARA Records (Modena), for whom they released two records, which were promoted in most European countries. DEMOLITION GROUP's music is an energetic fusion of electronic and acoustic drums, rock and funk oriented guitars, neurotic saxophone and specific vocals. "They look and sound like Doctor Feelgood after 18 pints having a jam with Killing Joke's roadies" (NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS, 1994) Being excellent musicians, the musical skills of various members of DEMOLITION GROUP are also evident in the work of bands such as LAIBACH, BORGHESIA and many others (varying from rock to contemporary classical). Members: Nikola Sekulović - bass Bojan Fifnja - guitar Jože Pegam - sax Uroš Srpčič - drums (left) Goran Šalamon - vocals Matjaž Pegam - mixing Ivan Rimc - drums (left) Peter Cizelj - drums www.discogs.com/es/artist/98118-Demolition-Group

[@JayTyrus]

actually this sound was common back in the mid-70's and got poppier as ya got closer to the 80's. Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream (1974-1981), Goblin, Space, Automat (s/t 1978), Zygote, Ose, Jean-Michel Jarre (Oxygene), Vangelis, Klaus Schulz, Cybotron(s/t 1976), heck even in the late 60's there was Silver Apples(You & I, Oscillations)...talk about bands way ahead of their time! There ya go!

[@WickedNPC]

​@Isaac Dweck This song is rather typical for the alternative music of the era. An eclectic combination of various styles such as post-punk, minimalism, avant-funk, industrial and such. Each band and song has it's own unique mix. There are to many bands like this to call this one in particular as ahead of it's time.
