In this regard, they can be considered Slovakia's answer to Depeche Mode.SeRichard Müller's interview for the leading Slovak daily newspaper SME(29 Dec 2007), in which Müller recalls a mid-1980s concert in Eastern Slovakia and that “the concert hall was packed with Depeche Mode fans”. Banket made their first performance in 1984 at the Bratislava Lyre pop festival with the song ''Nespoznaný'' (''Unknown''). Some of Banket's best-known and typically "electronic" hits originated between 1984 and 1985, but they were not included on the band's debut album ''Bioelektrovízia'' (''Bioelectrovision'', 1986) that was more conventional in nature.

Banket (food)
The Dutch letter (also referred to as banket letter, almond letter, butter letter, and in Dutch as ''banketstaaf'', ''banketletter'', ''boterletter'', and ''letterbanket'') is a type of pastry that is typically prepared using a mixture of flour, eggs and butter or puff pastry as its base and filled with almond paste (or persipan), dusted with sugar and shaped in an "S" or other letter shape. Marzipan, an almond paste prepared with almond meal and honey or sugar, is sometimes used as the filling. The Dutch letter has a porous or airy and flaky texture. The pastry was originally shaped "into the initial of the family's surname." Nowadays, the most common shape of the food in the United States is as the letter "S". Dutch letters are served as a treat during December, and particularly on '' Sinterklaasavond'' on December 5 in the Netherlands, and during some festivals in the United States.
