Croatia Records, the record label that released the largest number of new wave music, this year celebrates 40 years of the new wave. Many interesting releases and reissues mark the anniversary, and the focus is on four vinyls, gems of the new wave: the first albums of Električni orgazam and Haustor, the only album of Šarlo akrobata and the compilation Paket aranžman, that spawned the new wave in the former Yugoslavia. A documentary made in cooperation with CMC television features interviews with many relevant persons about one of the most brilliant musical periods in the history of this region.
