Romantične Boje

Romantične Boje (Romantic Colours) was the first synth-pop band from Niš, a town in Southeastern Serbia (former Yugoslavia). The band was led by Zoran Cvetković Cvele between 1983 and 1986. They received some great reviews from the music critics, their tracks were often played on radio stations and they even made a video for a song, “Tišina" (Silence). Due to their popularity increasing, they felt it was time for a release. However, PGP RTB, the most influential Yugoslav record label of the time, felt that the band did not meet their criteria and never released their album. After their failed release, they broke up. Their influences were The Human League, Kraftwerk, and John Foxx, although most of their sound is original. Original line up from 1983: Zoran Cvetković Cvele - Synthesizers + Vocals Goran Veljković Gax - Synthesizers Goran Radenković Radenko - Rhythm machines Later members: Bratislav Petković - Synthesizers (1985) Vesna Srdić (Srda) - Synthesizers (1986) Ivan Ziić - Electronic Drums (1986) 30 years after their breakup, Doomed To Extinction Records released their self-titled album which was originally recorded by Predrag Cvetičanin (Dobri Isak) in his home studio in Niš, 1986.
