Album
The material was recorded in the Belgrade studio Aquarius, and the producer was Kevin Ayers. It was Ayers who gave the album the name Tangenta, and the reason was that the group's music touched on different styles. The biggest hit from this album is the track Contact is expensive. Guests on the album were Laza Ristovski (keyboards) and Nenad Jelić (percussion).[5][6]
The cover art for this album was considered one of the worst covers ever,[7] because the frontman's mother died during the recording.[8]
