About Me

Synthpop is a style of popular music in which the synthesizer is the dominant musical instrument. It is most closely associated with an era between the end of the 1970s and early-to-mid 1980s when the synthesizer first became a practical and affordable instrument. The style developed as musicians such as Gary Numan, Landscape, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, and Devo embraced the synthesizer as a lead instrument, taking advantage of its unique sound and capabilities.
Synthpop has its own stylistic tendencies which differentiate it from other music produced by the same means. These include the exploitation of artificiality (the synthesizers are not used to imitate acoustic instruments), the use of mechanical rhythms and feel, the use of vocal arrangements as a counterpoint to the artificiality of the instruments, and the use of ostinato patterns as an effect. Synthpop song structures are generally the same as in regular pop music.
The Yugoslav Synthpop was a rare bird! Handful of bands like Data, Bebi Dol, Denis & Denis, Videosex, D'Boys, Max & Intro, Beograd, Du Du A, The Master Scratch Band, Laboratorija zvuka, Oliver Mandic, ZZ Up or Sladjana Milosevic dared to use synthesizers in guitar oriented rock and new wave scene. Generally, they were seen as a lesser value musicians who did not needed to play, but were just singing and pressing preset buttons on their machines. However, many of them ignored the climate and created excellent songs in the range of their european peers. Those recordings now are collectors items and this page is dedicated to the memory of their work. .
Main influence on Synthpop is New Wave.
New Wave is a term that has been used to describe many developments in music, but is most commonly associated with a movement in Western popular music, in the late 1970s and early 1980s inspired by the punk rock movement. The genre was fashionable during the 1980s and became somewhat popular again during the 2000s. New Wave music was initially rock music, with a punk attitude, mixed with other genres such as Funk, Disco, Reggae and Ska.
The Yugoslav New Wave scene emerged in the late 1970s in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and had a significant impact on Yugoslavian culture. It reshaped the cultural scene in the post-Titoist 1980s in Yugoslavia (President Tito died in 1980), and was, in a certain sense, combination of British and US-inspired New wave (but with some own Yugoslav distinguishing features) on one side and various conceptual or artisic movements related to Pop-Art, Avant-garde etc. on the other.

VIDEOSEX

Ubrzo nakon svitanja neona
u noci punoj detektiva
ona bljesti ljepotom
trazeci vecerasnju zrtvu
stisce u glavi strah
mogu je veceras naci
ali krv mladica tako lijepo zvuci
ima tako lijepu boju
barska muzika je privlaci
(jesi li slobodna veceras)

A detektivi traze
novine pisu o njoj
A detektivi traze i traze
pazite ljudi ona je tu

Prekrasan je
uostalom kao i svi prije
a potom mrak njene sobe
gusi uzdisaj kreveta
noz u njenoj ruci i vec
bezivotno tijelo lezi u njoj
trenutak kasnije osmijeh
na njenom licu dok rukama
u frizideru dodaje jos dvije ruke

DENIS & DENIS

Srce divlje lupa,
zelim te...
Ja ti brisem suze,
vodim te u stan...
Dok polako pogled moj,
spusta se...
Ouooo jeee i jeeee
Sada pratim ritam tvoj,
Ouooo jeee i jeeee
Ovu pjesmu novi broj,
Ouooo jeee i jeeee
Ako zelis bit cu ja,
Ouooo jeee i jeeee
program tvog kompjutera
Ouooo...

BEBI DOL

o,rudi,ne daj me,ne daj
o,rudi,sad uz mene budi
o,rudi,hajde pomozi,makar zapreti im ti da budu bolji
seikov sin,to znam,opet vara me sad
u satoru svom on je sa njom, kad zvezde dadose znak
o,rudi,zar si samo ti kog sanjam ja?
i samo san mi snage da?
samo ti kog sanjam ja i samo taj san mi snage da
rudi,zasto se javljas,o,rudi,samo dok sanjam
tad kazes mi,bebi,ne budi luda
idi i spavaj,sad cuvam te ja
o,rudi,moj rudi kog znam

rudi se budi, kaze:slusajte ljudi
bebi,blizu mene budi
bebi,sad je cas,pravi cas za nas
ljubav je na potezu,na potezu je strast

D'BOYS

Ulazim u disko bar,
Doruckujem virÅ¡li par sa senfom.
Ona sedi u istom baru,
Pije pice i puÅ¡i cigaru,
Ona ima divne oci,
zato moram sa njom poci bilo gde
Seksi seksi, ti si seksi,
A ja pijan

OLIVER MANDIC

SLADJANA MILOSEVIC

Zbog njega ne mogu da idem sa slabicima,
poljubi me, zastiti me svojim misicima,
jer on, on je tako jak, on je tako opasan.
Ne druge ruke nisu snazne kao njegove,
najsretniji je kad je sam i dize tegove,
jer on, on je tako jak, on je tako ogroman

Miki, Miki veliki
Miki, Miki ludi
Miki, Miki veliki
drzi me za ruku
stegni me u struku
