After the lineup change, the band gained large media attention and released their debut self-titled album in 1978.

[1] Sava Bojić was one of the original Pop Mašina members, and Đorđe Ilijin previously performed with the band Sećanja (The Memories), worked as a music teacher and often appeared as guest musician on albums by other groups, playing keyboards, flute and harmonica.

[1] The band members chose the simple name Tako in accordance with their desire to create music without making compromises.

[1] The band had their first live performance in the autumn of 1975, on a charity concert held in Belgrade's Pionir Hall, with funds raised dedicated to people suffering from muscular dystrophy.

[2] During 1975, they made their first demos, recording the songs "Čujem svoje misli" ("I Hear My Thoughts"), "Daždevnjak" ("Salamander"), "Lena" and "Čudan grad" ("Strange Town") in Radio Belgrade studios.

[1] After the recording sessions, Bojić had to leave the band due to his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, and was replaced by guitarist Sava Jojić.

[1] Despite frequent live performances, the band had difficulties in reaching through to larger audience due to their non-commercial sound.

[1] In November 1977, Tako and progressive/acoustic rock band S Vremena Na Vreme organized a quadraphonic sound concert in Belgrade Youth Center.

[1] At the beginning of 1979, after another quadraphonic sound concert organized with S Vremena Na Vreme, Tako went on hiatus because Ilijin got arthritis.

[1] He wrote music for the feature films The Class: From Actor to Icon (2008) by Paula Panzarella, Pussyfoot (2008) by Dušan Sekulović and Truth Be Told (2012) by Gregorio Smith.

[1] After Tako disbanded, Ćućuz worked as a sound engineer for hard rock bands Riblja Čorba, Divlje Jagode and Kerber.
