Dum Dum
After the release of Samo par godina za nas came extended hiatus. Srđan left the
band, concentrating on his acting career. Bojan moved to London. And while
Srđan's departure was just another in a long line of drummer changes, Bojan's
departure was much more of a loss to the band, that had that way lost one of its
key members.
Milan and Margita persevered, finding a new rhythm section: Dragiša Uskoković on
bass and young Marko Milivojević on drums. Together, they released Dum Dum
('Bang Bang'), possibly the darkest EKV album ever. Its bleakness and sense of
doom reflect the general atmosphere in Yugoslavia at the time, which was falling
apart and slowly approaching civil war.
Neko nas posmatra
In 1993, the same lineup produced another album, entitled Neko nas posmatra
('Somebody's Watching Us'), featuring a more accessible, warmer sound. It was
the only EKV album that had a covered song on it, "Istina Masina" (Truth
Machine), which was originally performed by the Yugoslav rock band Time. Because
of it's simple musical arrangements and lyrical concepts, the album was at the
time considered to be the weakest EKV record. Time has however changed the views
about the record and it's values became more appreciated through the years.
