Rock music from the socialist European countries and their successors. Comments are welcome. Please tell me when you find an expired link! :)
UPDATE October 2, 2021: I decided to revive Soviet Sam after a long hiatus. I also fixed most of the links, but maybe there are still some inactive ones.
In their early years Darkwood Dub released a couple of funk-rock albums with harsh, experimental sounds (I've already uploaded one of them here). After taking a short hiatus due to the war, they became an electronic band, facing styles such as downtempo, alternative dance, and ambient. "Život počinje u 30 oj" is just another beautiful album by this great Serbian band. Among the best tracks you will find "Dnevnik", with its house-influenced beats, "Vrtlog vira", with a suggestive noir atmosphere, and "Baobab", with that obsessive dub progression.
According to B92.net, "Vlada Divljan died in Vienna on 5 March 2015 after a long illness". This is a sad day for this blog, IDOLI were one of the first non-English speaking bands I discovered and I will always love their music. Here's some links to download their first EP, their debut album, and the compilation album "Paket aranžman".
