about
There are at least two groups called Parlament: 1) 80's new wave group from Croatia. They recorded two albums:"Imena i legende" (Suzy 1980.) and "Sve piše u zvijezdama" (Jugoton 1982.) 2) Trupa a luat fiinta in martie 1998. In mai 1998 a realizat un demo cu 5 melodii incluzand piesa "Vine vara", devenita ulterior marele hit al verii anului 1998. In august 1998 a aparut primul maxi single intitulat "Vine vara", cuprinzand toate cele 5 piese de pe demo. In acest moment trupa a inceput o serie de aparitii live si TV. Piesa a beneficiat de o promovare sustinuta la posturile de radio iar grupul a fost intens mediatizat in presa. Melodiei "Vine vara" i s-au realizat doua videoclipuri, o versiune realizata de TV Romania 1 care a fost difuzata pe postul MCM France si o alta realizata de Atomic TV. Parlament au mai aparut pe compilatia "Varamania", piesa grupului constituind hit-ul acestei compilatii. In decembrie 1998 au fost nominalizati la Premiile "Ballantine's" organizate de PRO TV la sectiunile "Cel mai bun debut" si "Cea mai buna melodie". Tot in decembrie 1998 s-a lansat si primul album intitulat "Parlament 1", album ce constituie o adevarata carte de vizita, relevand diversele orientari stilistice ale grupului. In martie 1999 Parlament este nominalizat la "Premiile Muzicale OTTO" organizate de revista BRAVO pentru sectiunea "Hard & Heavy", obtinand locul 2, dupa Holograf, devansand formatii ca Iris, Timpuri Noi, Vama Veche etc. In pofida unei concurente acerbe intre ge

# Why This Matters This Croatian new wave project captures a pivotal moment in 1980s Eastern European music—when synthesizers and angular guitar work were reshaping regional pop traditions. The band's two albums document an evolving artistic vision, moving from the introspective lyricism of *Imena i legende* toward the more expansive, cosmically-themed *Sve piše u zvijezdama*. What distinguishes their work is a thoughtful balance between new wave's experimental impulses and distinctly Yugoslav sensibilities, creating something neither purely derivative nor entirely avant-garde. For listeners curious about how Cold War-era pop developed outside Western centers, or how regional artists navigated imported aesthetics while
