BULDOŽER was formed in early 1975 in Ljubljana, present Slovenia, when an avant-garde singer/songwriter Marko Brecelj joined the band ‘Sedem svetlobnih let’ led by guitarist and lead vocalist Boris Bele. Apart from them, the original line-up included keyboardist/composer Borut C(inc(, bassist Andrej Veble, lead guitarist Urosh Lovshin and drummer Shtefan Jež. They released their debut album ‘Pljuni istini u oc(i’ in december 1975 to shocking reactions of the public and music business authorities due to its twisted black humor filled with sarcasm, satire and touching ‘sensitive’ issues of drugs or pornography. They also utilized the Zappa-like stage freak-out performances and ridiculed some generally accepted morals of the so-called socialist state of Yugoslavia. The cover sleeve of this album was designed as a magazine sheet (similar to Jethro Tull’s ‘Thick As A Brick’) filled with funny and ridiculous social vignettes and some pornographic cartoons. After the first circulation was sold out, the recording label PGP RTB refused to print more copies. In 1976 they recorded the second album ‘Zabranjeno plakatirati’ but due to their label’s policy (the band had to modify their lyrics if they wanted to release the record) it was released only in late 1977, when they joined their hometown label Helidon. In the meantime, the rhythm section changed, so the bassist Vili Bertok and drummer Tone Dimnik participated in studio sessions.
