With the decline of the new wave scene around 1982, some new wave bands, like U Škripcu and Zana, moved towards synthpop. "Artistička radna akcija" participant U Škripcu, having started as a conceptual new wave band in 1980, moved towards synth music. The band's debut album "Godine ljubavi" (1982), featuring several hit songs, was followed by even more successful "O je!" (1983) and the EP "Nove godine" (1983). However, on their later releases, the band turned towards electropop sound, which, having proved unsuccessful, led them to disband. Despite two reunion comeback albums (in 1987 and 1990), the band could not repeat the early success. In the 1990s, the band's vocalist Milan Delčić "Delča" formed the electronic rock band Delča & Sklekovi. Zana, named after the band's vocalist Zana Nimani, having released their debut album "Loše vesti uz rege za pivsku flašu" (1981), made a shift towards radio-friendly pop rock, New Romantic and synthpop sound with the release of their second album "Dodirni mi kolena" (1982). Despite the success of "Dodirni mi kolena" and the following album, "Natrag na voz" (1983), vocalist Nimani left the band. The rest of the band continued performing as Zana, changing several vocalists and gradually turning towards pop music.
