Chrome finally crosses the line.

8-7

Sorry, I put a limit on the poll so that stuffed it up.

Lesson learnt.

People seem to need a vote...

I'm sorry, it's very difficult for me to find time to listen to enough music these days. There are two tournaments going on, and I'm in a violent exams period for the next two weeks... My musical culture not being fantastic, I may have to abstain from voting for some of the next polls 😕

Anyway, I've listened to a few songs by both, and Chrome really striked me. I'll have to listen to them properly later, I love the voice, and the guitars sound good. Not that the Yugoslavian band was bad, its first impression was just not at the same level. Interesting, though. And if they only have one, album, I may listen to it too.

So my vote goes to Chrome 😉

Edit : mmh, the poll is closed. Oh well, I guess it doesn't change anything. Chrome for the win.

Sarlo Akrobata might be good and all, but Chrome made Half Machine Lip Moves which is worth more than any band's 1 hour of recorded material. Actually, there's other good stuff too, especially Alien Soundtracks, which you guys shouldn't miss.

Is there any tie breaker system in place?
Or are you just going to close the poll once another vote comes through?
A post in the musical random chat thread might convince another person (or people) to vote as a large amount look there.

I have listened to what loveless has posted, and though it's okay, it doesn't compare to the two Chrome albums I know IMO. Therefore, I have voted for Chrome.

I wish the people who voted also commented. It would make my life easier.

Sarlo Akrobata sounds like an interesting band, would avoid voting till I at least listen to all of the songs loveless posted.

If I decide Chrome is still better, then I'll start coaching (that's a lie actually, but still). [If anybody has heard a good amount of stuff from both bands and decided Chrome is better, please be my...err, assistant.]

For some reason, the lead singer (Dusan Kojic?) reminded me of Lol Tolhurst from the Cure.

Šarlo Akrobata were a cult band from Belgrade, Serbia (then Yugoslavia). They only existed for a short while, but remain one of the most important and influental bands of Yugoslavia.

The band consisted of three members - one of them, Milan Mladenović went on to form Katarina II, later renamed to Ekatarina Velika, which was (and still is) one of the most popular Yugoslav groups. The second one, Dušan "Koja" Kojić went down the more experimental post punk/art punk route with Disciplina Kičme, whereas the drummer, Ivan "Vd" Vdović, played in several prominent bands (including Katarina II). Milan and Ivan both died in their thirties (in 1994, 1990 respectively).

This band's music was, I guess a combination of Milan's melodic touch and Koja's tendencies to experiment with the sound. Their only full length release was an album "Bistriji ili tuplji čovek biva kad" (1981), but they are probably more known by their 4 (more accessible) songs written for the "Paket Aranžman" album.

Check them out, I don't think they have more than 1 hour of released material.
