Paket aranžman


Paket aranžman is a new wave music compilation album released in 1981 by Jugoton. Featuring eminent Belgrade acts Šarlo Akrobata, Električni Orgazam and Idoli, it is considered to be one of the most important and influential records ever made in SFR Yugoslavia. In addition to critical praise, it reached a cult status among the audiences and continues to be popular across the countries that emerged after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
The album was voted the second best Yugoslav rock album of all time by the music critics in the book . It is second only to Odbrana i poslednji dani by Idoli.
The record was produced by Enco Lesić who initiated the entire project.

Background and recording

During autumn 1980, Belgrade record producer Enco Lesić decided to assemble several young acts from the city's emerging new wave scene in order to come up with a split album that would present and promote the work of these young bands. He brought in three bands consisting of young musicians in their early 20s - Šarlo Akrobata, Električni Orgazam, and Idoli - all three of which barely existed for several months in their current format at this point and virtually had no prior recording experience.
Lesić gave them free recording time in his Druga Maca studio as well as complete artistic freedom.
The sleeve was designed by Branko Gavrić while the photographs used on it were shot by Milinko Stefanović and Goran Vejvoda.
