They were based in Zagreb, Croatia and toured extensively all over the former Yugoslavia. The band initial plan was to release three albums. A demo session was planned in 1982 together with new-wave bands Sexa and Dorian Gray for a compilation release. Unfortunately, Dorian Gray cancelled and the whole project was scrapped. The first album called Haotika (1984) was actually recorded, but it was not released due to various reasons. It was at around that time that Tomo in der Mühlen befriended keyboard player Margita Stefanović (aka Magi), key member of one of the best ever Yugoslavian new wave bands: Ekatarina Velika (later known as EKV), during recording of their 2nd album in Zagreb. The two bands cooperated closely and Magi co-wrote two songs on La Femme, played the Oberheim OB8 synth on all tracks and designed the cover. After two failed attempts the band recorded La Femme with the help of Dragan Simonovski (drums) and Rista Ibrić (violin). The album was originally released by label PGP RTB (part of Serbian National TV). It consists of eight songs including a rendition of T-Rex's 70s hit \"Get It On \". Although the band officially released only one album, La Femme is without a doubt one of the best Yugoslavian underground rock albums of the 80s. It still sounds fresh almost 40 years later.

Influenced by bands such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ultravox and Human League, it played a role pioneer on the Yugoslav synth-pop scene. Their first studio album, Remek Depo, was released in late 1982 on cassette and early 1983 on vinyl by public label PGP RTB. It was a huge media success, released at the time of the effervescence of Belgrade's alternative scene, a vibrant underground movement of avant-garde artists and musicians that included leading bands such as Sarlo Akrobata, Ekatarina Velika, Idoli, Electricni Orgazam, etc. Unfortunately, the band disbanded shortly after the album's release. The album contains politically provocative lyrics for the time. Produced by Saša Habić, it stands out for the quality of its guest musicians - timpanist Borislav \"Bora Longa\" Pavićević, avant-garde saxophonist Paul Pignon and veteran jazz trumpeter Stjepko Gut - who contributed to its soulful side. , creating a unique combination of hot and cold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matrix Music","offers":[{"title":"LP - Gold","offer_id":50527559319883,"sku":"2056118","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_0e069c7c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728054992"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/matrix-music.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
