I found this pretty informative Wikipedia article on New Wave music in Yugoslavia with a list of bands (some of them even I'm not familiar with), so if anyone is interested, it's a good read.

I enjoyed your write-up, too, dankstra, and especially the last song by FILM. The Wikipedia article about Yugoslavian New Wave music was interesting. It makes the government at that time not sound so terribly repressive:

Strangely[citation needed], this anti-establishment movement was even supported, although moderately, by the Communist authorities, particularly by the Communist youth organisation which often organized concerts, festivals, parties, exhibitions, and other cultural events. The lyrics that were criticizing and satirizing the flaws of the Yugoslav socialism were considered by the authorities as a "useful and friendly critique" and were often tolerated with certain cases of censorship."
