Just stop. Some of us are actually trying to have a discussion and not a shitposting rampage.

Yugoslavia was one of the only independent communist countries. They split from Russia and weren't under Chinese influence. That was probably a factor, bringing them closer to the west.

Poland had a pretty good scene as well

The thread kind of shatters the whole "communist countries were all cultural wastelands" premise that you and people like you love to repeat so often so not really.

>>74625168
Culture of communist country almost entirely focuses on hating communism

>>74625168
No, this thread is the actual proof of the whole thing. Just because they were cultural wastelands doesn't mean there were not some exceptions (because that's what they are, exceptions).

>>74625230
>some exceptions
...which in turn disprove the whole original argument. Try to keep up.

>>74625305
T. Cuck

>>74624883
It didn't. It spread through Magnitizdat. This was sort of illegal.

>>74625305
The original argument is that those countries were cultural wastelands (they didn't produce much art), and this is true. Unless you claim that to be a cultural wasteland you can't provide ANY art, in which case you are right but on ridiculous grounds.

So can anyone answer the OP question on what made Yugoslavia a more special case? Since albums with risky content were issued on official state labels instead of being distributed via underground connections like in the USSR.

Yugoslavia wasn't a communist country and the music that came out of it didn't really start to get interesting until the 80s(in my opinion).

Yugoslavia was also fairly liberal and open towards the 1st world's culture and influence despite its collectivist and authoritarian tendencies.
By the 80s it became pretty normal for even underground US/UK bands to tour here, often to highly receptive audiences. IIRC Sonic Youth's first tour of Yugoslavia went down in like 1984, for example.

Was Yugoslavia even communist? They weren't a superpower like the USSR. They weren't in the USSR. Maybe they had less to worry about since they weren't as big as the USSR.

>>74624695
Can someone give me a rundown on GrOb? I'm confused as to what are their studio albums and what is not. Can someone make or link me to a splitting of their discography into main studio albums, live albums, demo albums, re-recordings, etc.?

>>74625823
It was a socialist federal republic ruled by a communist party. Technically speaking there has never been true communist state
>pauses for howls of protest
but they were as commie as any of the commie states.

>>74625823
yugoslavia started out as a soviet-backed communist state after wwII, but quickly distanced themselves from the warsaw pact and alligned themselves with the west while preserving their communist image. they soon adapted a nationalized free-market model, which meant that companies in yugoslavia were state-owned, but competed amongst each other and in the international market. the model also incorporated partial worker's self-management, which meant that the the companies were partially managed by the workers themselves, instead of the government or a capitalist. also, the borders were very open for a communist country, so yugoslavs traveled around and brought western influences into yugoslav culture (coca cola, western music and fashion, capitalism...)
the country fell apart due to nationalist tensions and economic struggles during the late 80's/ early 90's. before this period, the government was pretty strict and authoritarian when it came to nationalism and seperatism, while yugoslavia's economy was supported by both the east and the west through post-war financial aid programs, but when the berlin wall fell and america stopped financing govenments beneficial in the fight against the spread of communism, yugoslavia was fucked.
also i might add, even though yugoslavia was de jure a communist eastern bloc nation, it was de facto a non-aligned semi- capitalist one party socialist state that equally benefited the east and the west

>>74625691
Unbelievable that such a band came from ex-Yu.

Oh, yes. Seeing Darko Rundek later tonight.

>>74626182
Rundek is one of the rare guys that never sold out, never took sides, always made great music, unlike many of his contemporaries.
Bought his latest box-set, really nice packaging, love me some Rundek.

>>74626282
I was at his soundcheck last week and even though they didn't play full songs, it was better than some live shows I've seen over the years. I wanted to record a good part of it, but I was unable to do so, because their violinist played octaves and I couldn't pick up my jaw from the floor. Can't wait to see them tonight.

I'm not Yugo-nostalgic by any means, I'm not very fond of the music scene from that time (at least most of the yugoslavian records still sold on the streets nowadays, rare shit is rare for a reason), but there were at least few records that stick out imo.

I have actually, funniest shit ever.
90s were not a good time for the Balkans, and I'm lucky that Macedonia had no bloodshed in that time, it was a desperate place, but not as desperate like the rest of it. It's a damn shame.

>>74623635
The states generally supported individual composers as well as jazz and traditional pop ensembles while taking a harsh stance against bands practicing western degeneracy and rock music, forcing some of those bands to go into the deep underground where theya'd develop cult followings amongst people in the know, and eventually become popular cultural icons during the 80's Glasnost and Perestroika eras.

At least that's how it was in the Soviet Union, in the GDR and North Korea things were apparently much stricter which is why you barely hear anything from around those parts.
