AZRA ... KAD FAZANI LETE

AZRA
... KAD FAZANI LETE
Azra was a rock band from Zagreb (Croatia) that was popular across Yugoslavia in the 1980s. Azra was formed in 1977 by its frontman Branimir "Johnny" Štulić. The other two members of the original line-up were Mišo Hrnjak (bass) and Boris Leiner (drums). The band is named after a verse [2] from "Der Asra" by Heinrich Heine. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands from the former Yugoslav New Wave rock era and the Yugoslav Rock scene in general.

They released their first single in 1979 with songs "Balkan" and "A šta da radim". The first album named Azra was published in 1980 and achieved commercial success and popularized Azra in former Yugoslavia. Azra recorded its last studio album Između krajnosti (Between the extremes) in 1987. In 1988 the band recorded 4LP live album under the name Zadovoljština (Satisfaction), after which Štulić disbanded the band. Štulić recorded three more solo albums since moving to Houten, Netherlands, where he currently lives in seclusion. A 2003 rock documentary, Sretno dijete depicts Azra as the locus of the rock scene in the former Yugoslavia during the 1980s, along with Bijelo dugme. Even until today, Azra has remained very popular among youth in the countries of former Yugoslavia.

In 1998, the music critics compiled a list of 100 best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music. Five Azra albums were included, three of them in top 10. On the Radio B92's list of 100 greatest songs of former Yugoslavia, four Azra songs were included, all of them in top 20.

Koliko pokvarenosti treba da se izlije pred nas noge

I kako je do neprepoznavanja dovedena sustina prevare?!

Zastrasujuce je kolika je univerzalnost i svevremenost ovih lucidnih stihova! Poruka u sebi nosi toliko snage da svaka revolucionarna parola moze samo da se postid pred njom. Ali sta vredi dok god se sire koncentricni krugovi gluposti i neznaja...

Rundeka neki pominju. ok je ali sam prije par godina cuo hebrejski etno i prepoznao njegovu Apokalipsu kao i neke Loisove pjesme mada mu nije mjesto ovdje.

. U poredjenju Donija sa ostalima ipak bi izdvojio jedno ime. Otprilike ovako: Kada ispostujemo odluku Donija da zivi neki novi zivot, kada nam se smuci Balasevicev cinizam i Arsenova melankonija, jedini koji ostaje je Ibrica Jusic. Svasta je tu pomijesano, znam ali eto...usudio sam se ovo napisati dok me stuliceva sjena s omotnice "Kad Fazani Lete" posmatra sa vrata moje sobe.... Pozz svima

Štulu sam u osnovnoj slušao sa riječnikom u ruci. Čovjek je mag. Drugi su slušali Bajagu, .dugme, haustor, Kičmu... i ja sam, ali o njima se dalo raspravljati a poslije, radeci novinarski posao i pricati s njima ali s Dzinijem ne bi nikada smio se upustit u inervju. Jednostavno prejako, i za razliku od mnogih drugih duboko postujem njegovu odluku o nekom novom zivotu u Utrechtu kada se vec nije moglo primiti sve ono o cemu je pjevao, pisao, pricao nama ovdje. Ne mogu ga porediti ni sa kim.
