NEP was a loose multimedia collective formed in 1982 Zagreb, ex-Yugoslavia. Heavily influenced by the philosophy of Walter Benjamin and Andy Warhol and musically by Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, NEP participated in several activities, such as graphic design, music, photography, video, news/media and theoretical work. Musically NEP focused on experiments in ambient and tape-music, on self-released and hard to find compilation tapes like 'The Cassette Played Poptones' from 1988. For the first time, this compilation presents the best cuts from unreleased and rare NEP self-released tapes, covering the period from 1985 to 1989 on 'Pop Not Pop'.
