Dodole is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2009 on the Ne-ton independent label. This album is considered by many to be their most accessible to date. It took the band nearly two years to record and publish it, while they usually released several albums during one year. Thus it represents their most technically advanced effort. Musically, it contains songs with a more mainstream rock'n'roll approach, standard form and length. The name of the album comes from the lyrics of the song "Pagani", in which the old pagan Slavic ritual of Dodole is mentioned. The cover illustration by Larisa Acikov depicts burning pagan totems.
Kupine is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2006 on the Ne-ton independent label.

The album contains very few lyrics, appearing now and then in some of the songs.
Tao Business is an EP by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2007 on the Ne-ton independent label. It has only one song, albeit almost twenty minutes long, which is actually an excerpt from one of the band's sessions with Vladimir Palibrk on drums as a special guest. The whole song was recorded in one take at the Pančevo gallery Elektrika, all instruments at the same time, and is built on improvisation. The result is a drone, noise tune with a free-jazz form. There are almost no lyrics and surprisingly little guitar while the bass guitar, drums and electronics dominate.
Fiskalna kasa za dilera grasa is an EP by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2007 on the Ne-ton independent label.

Svinje is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2007 on the Ne-ton independent label. It contains eight songs of which some are new versions of songs from the previous album Kupine with significant changes in both music and lyrics. The sound on this album is rich and multi-layered with extensive use of sampling, tape-loops, static noise etc. unexpectedly intercepted by soothing harmonic melodies of instruments such as xylophone. Svinje is the Serbian word for pigs.
Haker ili iskušavanje đavola is the second album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2004 on the Ne-ton independent label. A big departure from the sound of first album, this album is unique by many standards in the band's body of work. It is the only album without Vladimir Lenhart, since there are no bass lines in any of the songs. Also, there is no guitar and no vocal input from Mileta Mijatović, the band's singer. The whole album consists of various machine buzzes and computer generated noises accompanied by a large amount of sampled voices originating from English translations of speeches by Josip Broz Tito, operas in Serbian, children's educational records, Orthodox chanting, the opening speech from a concert entitled "Trumpets of Peace" held in Sarajevo 1977, "The Internationale" sung in Serbian, various commercials, old Yugoslav movies, SpongeBob SquarePants dubbed in Serbian, etc.

The cover art was by Bouraiqc des Merdes.
Neman is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2006 on the Ne-ton independent label. The album's five songs contain no lyrics and are mostly experiments with various noise-making machines that the band was building. The outcome of these experiments can be heard on the following albums, so this was a kind of a showcase of their future work. The songs do not have names, merely numbers that position them on the disk. All of the songs were recorded at once and are first takes and complete improvisations on the spot.
Planetarni čovek is an album by the Serbian noise-rock band Klopka Za Pionira, released in 2006 on the Ne-ton independent label.
