Metropolis B

Metropolis B was released in 1998 on the B92 label, a cornerstone of independent culture in Belgrade during a period of significant sociopolitical volatility. The album represents a collaboration between the satirist Rambo Amadeus and the musician and producer Miroslav Savić, reflecting the era's fusion of electronic soundscapes and biting social commentary. This record emerged from the underground arts scene, which utilized experimental music as a medium for intellectual resistance and cultural critique.

The design and conceptual approach behind Metropolis B lean into the industrial and dystopian themes prevalent in late nineties alternative music. Miroslav Savić contributed a distinct electronic aesthetic that complemented Rambo Amadeus’s characteristic blend of cynicism and humor, creating a soundscape that felt both deeply rooted in the urban experience of Belgrade and consciously detached from the mainstream pop production of the time. Upon its release, it was recognized primarily by listeners within the Balkan alternative circuit for its technical ambition and its departure from conventional song structures.
