Pozitivna geografija

Positive Geography) is the 1984 debut album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Bajaga i Instruktori, released in 1984.

His intention was to record a large number of songs he wrote and release them on an album, without leaving Riblja Čorba.

The songs were recorded during November and December 1983, in a rented apartment and in PGP-RTB's Studio V, with a help in production by Kornelije Kovač.

The musicians that participated in the album recording which would later become a member of Bajaga i Instruktori, were Dejan Cukić (formerly of Bulevar, vocals), Miroslav Cvetković "Cvele" (formerly of Pop Mašina, bass guitar), Nikola Stamatović (formerly of Zebra, Suncokret, and Bulevar, guitar), and Vladimir Golubović (drums).

The album also featured Nenad Stefanović "Japanac" on bass guitar, Dragan Jovanović "Krle" (formerly of Generacija 5) on guitar, Kire Mitrev (of KIM) on trombone, Suzana Petričević on vocals (on the song "Papaline", which was her singing debut[2]), Ivan Švager on clarinet, Borislav Pavićević "Longa" on backing vocals, and the album producer Kornelije Kovač on keyboards and backing vocals, with the rhythm machine programming also done by him.

Although not stated in this interview, Bajagić mentioned on other occasions that the song was dedicated to Dragan "Đera" Đerić, his former bandmate from the bands Ofi and Glogov Kolac.

[...] Spira then remembered that river level reports on [Serbian] radio are read out in Russian (among other languages), every day.

We were given some time at Enco Lesić's [Druga Maca studio], so we recorded the song, and it even ended up being played on the Rokenroler show.

I also heard that it was considered for inclusion on Paket aranžman—and I don't know who ultimately made those sorts of decisions—but apparently me being a guitarist in [a popular and nationally-known] Riblja Čorba prevailed [as they decided to go with unknown Belgrade acts].

The album was well received by both audience and the critics, with "Berlin", "Mali slonovi", "Limene trube", "Poljubi me" "Tekila - Gerila", "Marlena" and "Tamara" all becoming huge hits.

He and some of the musicians who participated on the recording (including producer Kornelije Kovač) held their first concert on April 12, 1984, in Zagreb club Kulušić.

The success Bajagić had with his songs caused conflicts inside Riblja Čorba, and in July, he was excluded from the band.
