Fax: You asked if I had heard of Laibach

Post by Stjepan Veliki »

I have. Actually, I own most of their albums. Almost saw them live once but got shafted because it was in philly and SEPTA sucks. SF-SN

My dad just came back from Slovenia and brought me their "Wat" album.I like it very much, though the poet in me could do with a tad less rhyming. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

We have a DVD of theirs in the music shop where I work from time to time, and our assistant manager has all their singles.

They're probably one of the most intellectual bands in existence. Very interesting guys. Micronationalists in particular would be interested in reading about their NSK State. SF-SN

Intellectual, yes. Lyrically inclined, maybe. But that comes from English as a second language. From what I can pick out of their German, they're goooooood.I do think they're very interesting, and I think their videos are frightening in an intriguing 1984 sort of way.

When it comes to lyrics, one has to remember that English is in fact their third language. But beyond that though, their whole thematic concept is a brilliantly executed one and their subversion of pop culture standards as part of that is fantastic. They can bring out the totalitarianism in anything. SF-SN
