In 1975, the band released their self-titled debut, a progressive/hard rock concept album dealing with the theme of solitude, to critical acclaim and nationwide popularity.
During the following years, the band toured extensively, but towards the end of the decade they started performing occasionally only and, despite never announcing their disbandment, gradually retired from the scene.
[1] In July 1974, Dokuzović was replaced by Boris Turina, who decided to leave a career of a table tennis player and dedicate himself to music.
[2] The band's well-known logo, featuring an eye with two irises, was designed by renowned comic book artist Igor Kordej.
[2] Finally, the band signed for Belgrade-based PGP-RTB, as one of the editors liked the album artwork and offered Drugi Način a contract without even listening to the recorded material.
[2] The album's biggest hit were the ballads "Stari grad" ("Old City"), which opens with a recitation by Turina, and "Lile su kiše" ("The Rain Was Pouring"), both featuring lyrics written by lyricist Gojko Bjelac.
[2] Simultaneously with his work with Drugi Način, Kurtović formed the acoustic folk rock group Prošlo Vrijeme (Past Time) with Đurđa Kavež (vocals) and Borislav Ostojić (guitar).
With Božo Ilić (bass guitar), Branko Knežević (drums), and Damir Šebetić (keyboards), they formed the band Nepočin (No-rest).
[2] On 7 January 1977, the newly-formed band performed on a rock festival held in Zemun's Pinki Hall under the name Drugi Način 2, and their versions of Drugi Način songs "Carstvo samoće" ("Empire of Solitude") and "Novi dan" ("New Day") appeared on the various artists double live album Pop parada I (Pop Parade I, 1977) recorded on the festival.
[2] Nepočin's debut and only album Svet po kojem gazim (The World I'm Walking On) was released through PGP-RTB in 1978, featuring cover designed by Igor Kordej.
[2] After Požgajec returned from the army, Drugi Način continued their activity with new guitarists, Branko Bogunović and Nikola Gečević, the latter formerly of the band Stakleno Zvono (Bell Jar).
[2] In 1992, Branko Požgajec, Božo Ilić, Davor Senčar, keyboardist Mario Mauer, and drummer Dražen Kovač (a former Regata member) re-recorded some of the old Drugi Način songs and released them alongside two new songs, "Jer postoji ona" ("Because She Exists") and the instrumental track "A'la vild", on the compilation album Drugi Način.
[2] The album was recorded in the lineup featuring Branko Požgajec, Božo Ilić, guitarists Ernest Vinković and Mario Domazet, keyboardist Damir Vuk (formerly of Animatori and Pips, Chips & Videoclips) and drummer Mladen Palenkaš.
