Review by Andy Sternberg

Scenes De La Vie Future by Endymion (ZG): A Hidden Rock Gem from 1990 Yugoslavia Released in 1990 under PLP Rare Recordings, Scenes De La Vie Future by Endymion (ZG) is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s a raw slice of Yugoslavian rock, unpolished but full of character. This isn’t your typical arena-rock record; it feels more like a late-night jam session where the band just lets loose. And honestly? That’s what makes it special. Let’s dive into two tracks that stuck with me. First up, “The Dragons.” Right off the bat, this song grabs you by the throat with its driving riffs and punchy energy. There’s something about the way the guitars roar and the drums crash—it’s chaotic, but in the best possible way. You can almost picture the band sweating it out in some dimly lit Belgrade club back in the day. The lyrics are cryptic, almost poetic, but they don’t overthink it. Sometimes music doesn’t need to make perfect sense to hit hard, and “The Dragons” proves that point beautifully. Then there’s “Rain ,” which takes things down a notch but still leaves an impression. This track has a haunting quality to it, like staring out a rainy window while life buzzes past outside. The vocals here feel more subdued compared to other songs, almost whispering at times. What gets me every time is how the melody seems to linger long after the song ends. It’s melancholic without being overly dramatic, and that balance is rare. Other tracks like “Louie Louie ” and “The Fool On The Hill” show off the band’s versatility, blending covers with their own material. They clearly weren’t afraid to experiment, even if it meant veering into unexpected territory. But hey, isn’t that what rock ‘n’ roll’s all about? Taking risks and seeing where the sound takes you? What strikes me most about Scenes De La Vie Future is how unapologetically human it feels. Sure, the production might not be as slick as modern albums, but that’s part of its charm. It reminds me of flipping through old vinyl crates and stumbling across something unexpected—a little treasure waiting to be rediscovered. And maybe that’s the thing about this album: it’s not trying to change the world or reinvent rock music. Instead, it’s content to exist as a snapshot of its time and place, warts and all. In a weird way, listening to it feels like finding a forgotten Polaroid photo—you don’t know the whole story, but you can’t help but wonder. So yeah, give Scenes De La Vie Future a spin if you’re into gritty, no-frills rock. Just don’t expect perfection—because sometimes, imperfection says more than polish ever could.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Scenes De La Vie Future* by Endymion (ZG) is a hidden gem from Yugoslavia's rock scene in 1990. It’s got this raw, experimental vibe that feels like it’s caught between decades. One of the standout tracks is their wild take on *"Louie Louie,"* a classic song that’s been covered countless times but never quite like this. And get this—the album was released under PLP Rare Recordings, which makes it a true collector's item today. Not bad for a piece of '90s Yugoslav rock history!

hm, sad ugledah na tvom blogu tri pjesme napisane 1990. za novi materijal endymiona. nisu na stranom jeziku. znači došlo bilo i njima iz dupeta u glavu. u tom slučaju šteta što su prestali s radom.

previše izlizanih rok fraza da bi im pjevanje na engleskom bilo opravdano. ako su već bili pogleda uprtog zapadno od balkana i nadali se dodiru s publikom modernijom i širom od rokerskog plemena dvadesetčetvoromilionske jugoslavije (koje tad procentualno i nije bilo nezavidne veličine) - a po cjelokupnom konceptu i imidžu reklo bi se da jesu - onda su trebali biti originalniji u muziciranju kao što su bili na primjer the housepainters, da ne spominjem zna se koje slovence, ili bar otkačeniji i intenzivniji (cf. rani dorain gray, rani pishomodi, let 2) nego na ovim snimcima (fotke doduše govore nešto drugo, možda im ovaj nastup nije bio jedan od boljih), ili eto, ako ništa drugo, a ono bar vrituozniji kao na priliku rana boa (mada, to na zadnjem mjestu). s druge strane, ovaj mjuz, takav kakav je, bio je 1990. ipak još uvijek dovoljno svjež jugoslovenskom rok plemenu i da su komuniciralii na našem, mogli su doprijeti do nekog respektabilnijeg, smislenijeg broja suplemenika (kao na primjer varja i ekipa) i opravdati svoju viziju i delanje. ovako, zapleli su se otpočetka i zauvijek u glibavi zaborav (četvrt vijeka kasnije i dalje skoro nikoga ne zanimaju - u pola godine uspjeli su skupiti svega 74 pregleda na yt... na tvom blogu nadam se da je taj broj veći), tako da im uzalud trud svirači, preciznije, na engleskom pjevači. otužno ali istinitno, možda im jedna stvar danas ipak ide u prilog, no ta je upravo to što su pali u zaborav te im to daje, neopravdano, nekakvu aureolu mističnosti i na vidik sumnjivo iznaša nekolik kult faktor. e pa ne treba biti john peel pa primijetiti da je sličnog rok glavinjanja imao u danas nepostojećoj državi svaki zadnji grad s pet autobuskih stanica. kao što važi da samo zato što si poznat ne znači da vrijediš, tako isto važi i da samo zato što si nepoznat ne znači da si kultan. evo ide i zadnja stvar, obrada louie louie. da, to je ta žudnja. neloša obrada, razuzdana kako joj i pristaje. daleko od toga da je bend bio za baciti, naziralo se tu nešto. ne bih se ni raspisivao da nije.
