I always though that Drago Mlinarec would be my favourite Yugoslavian artist... but Smak is stealing his post. I dont stop hearing them.

Yeah, Smak are great. I only have the debut and Crna Dama.
I'd like to find a copy (on cd) of "Stranice Naseg Vremena".

Remastered CD of Stranice našeg vremena is released in 2008 on major serbian record label PGP RTS http://www.discogs.com/Smak-Stranice-Na%C5%A1eg-Vremena/release/4086714
 
 
 
By the way, my favourite track from Stranice Našeg Vremena ("The Pages of Our Time") the album from 1978.

Two more gems:





If you like Zajdi Zajdi, try also this Smak's drumless instrumental Ukor ("Blame"); Točak's guitar is "crying" here; actually, the song ("Blame") is dedicated to Lazar Ristovski, Smak's original line-up keys player who passed away:
 
 
 
Moving, isn't? That's Balkans.
 
 
 


Laza Ristovski (RIP) played some stunning Hammond organ solo in a live version of Šumadijski Blues in this ancient tv documentary "Smak in America"; they played one-off gig in NYC in 1976 and this live version is from there; from 7:52 to 15:45 at video with some nice panorama-footage of sunny Manhattan (btw, fits very nice with the music so don't miss it):

Legendary Croatian guitarist Josip Boček (Korni Grupa) must be mentioned in this thread; the first video is from Stefanovski's Belgrade concert in 1993 where Boček and Točak were both his special guests. Here are both that unplugged version of Boček's prog instrumental Dinamit  (with Točak and Stefanovski) and the original studion version of Boček's solo song that was released as A-side of THE single in 1975.
 
 
 
 
 
Boček with his Belgrade's prog band Korni Grupa in the epic song Put za istok ("Way to East") released 1972 at their self-titled album.

... sorry guys but I have to get back to Leb i Sol:

"Infinity" and "Sledovanje"... any thoughts?

I took both off the shelf the last week and I've been listening to them since then.
Better than I recalled.

Pazi da Pazis and Mirko are very good (from Sledovanje).

From the first solo album Ko zna ("Who Knows?") (1979) by Miki Petkovski, the keys player of Smak (Crna dama era). The members from Smak and Leb i Sol have played on his debut.

Three intrumental, progressive electronic solo tracks by Smak's original line-up keys player Lazar Ristovski (RIP) :  Beyond the Horizon (from his Merge the album from 1982), 2/3,  and my favourite track by him, amazing Nebo nad Beogradom ("Belgrade Sky").
