A follow-up, Too Cool to Be a Christian, was recorded but never released; despite Tonio K.s famously sarcastic attitude, the projects title was far from a joke, however, and his growing spirituality remained the focus of his work in the years to follow. After 1982s La Bomba EP, he was silent until the release of 1986s Romeo Unchained, which heralded a newly mellow sound; 1988s Notes from the Lost Civilization was his final proper LP, although a planned follow-up, Olé, was recorded but not issued. (It was finally released in 1997). During the 1990s, Tonio K. was most active as a songwriter; in 1998 he issued Rodent Weekend 76-96 (Approximately), a collection of unreleased material. Yugoslavia followed a year later.
