A state-of-the-art '80s Yugoslavian new wave reissue. Lubljana-based band new wave archive finally repressed. Videosex was the biggest Yugoslav electronic pop band, formed in Ljubljana in 1982. Their singer Anja Rupel sung on Laibach's 1988 version of the Beatles' "Across the Universe" and their drummer Iztok Turk produced early Laibach records. The release of their eponymous debut album in 1984 and the subsequent major live and TV performances propelled the young band into major stardom. The follow-up was highly anticipated: in March 1985, Videosex released Lacrimae Christi to critical and general acclaim. In comparison with the first album, the production on the Lacrimae Christi was state-of-the-art, as the most modern recording and composing techniques were used. The songs "Sivi dan" ("Gloomy Day") and "Tko je zgazio gospođu mjesec" ("Who Ran Over Mrs. Moon") became nationwide hits. For fans of early new wave sounds, Bronski Beat, Propaganda, Denis & Denis. 180 gram, gold vinyl.

Rush Hour RSS presents a reissue of the sought-after self-titled LP by Slovenian act, Videosex. While little-known outside of the former Yugoslavia, Videosex's self-titled debut album from 1984 sold in significant numbers, making superstars of the young Slovenian musicians responsible for making it. The set not only helped turn Yugoslavian teenagers on to the possibilities of Western-style electronic pop, but also inspired them via satirical, often explicit lyrics. Their debut performance at the Novi Rock festival in Ljubljana lead to an immediate contract offer from Slovenia's biggest record label. It wasn't long before the band were holed up in Studio Top Ten in Ljiublana, recording what would become their debut album. They effectively moved in to the studio for days and weeks on end, clocking up well over 200 hours of recording time in which they mixed experimentation with a desire to polish each song to perfection. The result was their first album -- nine songs touching on a variety of sexually charged subjects including erotica, lesbianism, voyeurism, and sadism. Includes printed inner sleeve containing exclusive pictures.
