Elektricni Orgazam

Elektricni Orgazam were formed in 1980 by Srdan Gojkovic - Gile (vocals, guitars), Ljubomir Jovanovic - Jovec (guitars) and Ljubomir Ðukic (keyboards, organs). Their first recordings were published in 1981 in the Paket Aranžman omnibus album that also included songs from the bands Idoli and Šarlo Akrobata. Paket Aranžman was very important record because it highly helped the rise of Serbian punk, new wave and alternative scene, not only in Belgrade, but in whole Serbia and ex-Yugoslavia.Their first self-titled album was released in 1981 featuring a fairly straight-forward punk sound with a small dose of post punk aestetics. This LP was also distributed in the rest of Europe via Rough Trade label, managing to get some very good reviews in the British musical magazine NME. During November 1981 Elektricni orgazam toured Poland and recordings from the gig in Warsaw were released as EP Warszawa '81 limited to 2000 copies. It was a first official bootleg released in Yugoslavia.On their second, quite experimental and artistic album Lišce prekriva Lisabon 1982 (translated: "Leaves Fall Over Lisbon") they incorporated a wider range of psychedelic influences. It was a post punk record with dark edge in the goth manner of Bauhaus and the likes.The third LP "Les Chansones Populaires" consisted only covers of classics from David Bowie, The Doors, T. Rex, The Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground and others. After "Chansones..." Elektricni Orgazam adopted a more mainstream rock sound while their concert performances were more punky, mainly due to the stage persona of their frontman Srdjan Gojkovic - Gile.After their third album Kako bubanj kaže 1984 (translated: "As the Drum Says") keyboardist Ljubomir Ðukic left the band. With next line-up, claimed by fans and critics as their best one (Srdan Gojkovic - guitars, vocals, Branislav Petrovic - guitars, Zoran Radomirovic - bass and Goran Cavajda - drums), Elektricni Orgazam released their most successful mainstream rock albums Distorzija 1986 (translated: "Distorzion") and a little bit pop-influenced Letim, Sanjam, Dišem 1988 (translated: "Flying, Dreaming, Breathing"). By the way, the title's acronym of "Letim, Sanjam, Dišem" was supposed to give a small hint to LSD. This album was remembered with anthemic hit-song "Igra rock'n'roll cela Jugoslavija" as the most commercial success and the highest popularity in the band's career.After the tour for this album, the band was put on ice for a while. Srdan Gojkovic started to work on his solo album and later together with Vlada Divljan (ex member of Idoli) released few albums with rock'n'roll songs specially designed for children. He also worked and wrote music for soundtracks.In the early 1990s Elektricni Orgazam started to work again and released Balkan Horor Rock material in two parts (see discography bellow). This material consisted live in studio-performed tracks from "Lišce prekriva Lisabon" and their 1st album, and also a few new tracks. 1994. they released 2LP album Zašto da ne! (translated: "Why Not!") characterized by a sound with a lot of hippie rock and retro 1970s influencies. Soon after this album original drummer and Goran Cavajda - Cavke left the band and moved to live in Australia where he died 1997.With new drummer, Elektricni Orgazam released two more albums: semi-acoustic rock album A Um Bum 1999 and Harmonajzer with more basic rock sound with kind of a modern touch in the vein to the likes of Queens of the Stone Age. During the recording process of "Harmonajzer", original member Ljubomir Ðukic returned in Elektricni Orgazam ............................................................ ............................................................ ....... .................................THIS.IS.FAN.MADE.PAGE...... ............................................................ ..........................................................
