Romantične Boje (Romantic Colours) was the very first synth-pop band from Niš, a town in South Eastern Serbia (former Yugoslavia). The bend was led by Zoran Cvetković Cvele in period between 1983 and 1986. They received some great reviews from the music critics, their tracks were played regularly on radio stations, they even made a video for “Tišina (The Silence)”, and it seemed it was a time for a proper vinyl release. However, PGP RTB, the most important record label of the time quit the negotiations with the band and failed to release their album. After that, the band, unfortunately, ceased to exist. Their major influences were The Human League, Kraftwerk, and John Foxx, but they cannot be denied the originality of sound.
Original line up from 1983 included:
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)
In 2016, 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.
