Na pučini živog peska (On the High Seas of Quicksand) is the third album of the Montenegrin alternative music band Autogeni Trening (Autogenic Training). The awards and numerous concerts in the former Yugoslav republics are a sure sign that their music is also popular in the other countries in the region.

This last album was produced by the online magazine Popboks and is therefore available on the internet for free download. "We live in such times when the best thing to do is make your music available as soon as possible to as wide an audience as possible. One of the ways to do it is via downloading because the internet nowadays holds the undisputed supremacy over all other media," said the band's drummer Bojan Bojanić told Southeast Europe: People and Culture.

Autogeni Trening was founded 11 years ago and got the idea for their name, which stands for a medicinal relaxation technique, from their sound engineer. For many people, playing alternative music in Montenegro seems to be a demanding undertaking but as far as Bojanić is concerned it is "like driving a Volkswagen beetle that uses up a lot of petrol and breaks down quite often, but you drive it because you love it."

"Nearly every performance is a story in itself. We've been through all sorts of things but, if I have to choose, every time we played in [the former Yugoslav Republic of] Macedonia was unforgettable. They are a fantastic nation. Of course, I mustn't forget about our friends and fans in Montenegro, who always create a fantastic atmosphere every time we play," says Bojanić.

And this is exactly what happened during their recent concert in Podgorica, after the launch of the new album. The members of the band were extremely happy with the way the audiences reacted to their new songs and with the fact that, within a relatively short space of time, "many people already knew the song lyrics by heart."

Autogeni Trening won a prestigious award at the Indexi festival in Sarajevo in 2009 for the best first album by a band from the former Yugoslavia.

In March 2011 the band also made a video clip for the song “Nema više priče sa tobom” (“No More Talking with You”) as a single that would introduce their third album. The video clip was directed by the Montenegrin director Srđan Stanojević.

The members of the band enjoyed support from their older colleagues and two musicians from two different bands from Serbia appear as guests on this album, Nikola Vranjković from the cult band Block Out and Oliver Nektarijević of Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša. "Oliver and Mita are icons of Serbian rock and, one could add, of rock in ex-Yugoslavia. We grew up listening to these bands and it is an honour to meet and eventually become friends with these musicians," Bojanić says.

Besides Bojan Bojanić on the drums, other members of the band are guitarist Dino Kapetanović, who writes most of the lyrics, and Veljko Vučurović on the bass guitar.
