Re: Laibach.
I can speak pretty much first hand about them, since they are Slovenians and my father was very active on the scene (as a fotographer) from the midseventies to the late 80s.
As most every other slovenian band of the time, Laibach started out as a sort of rebellion against the communist regime of Yugoslavia. They played industrial rock and were heavily influenced by the sound of DAF (Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft). Their sound was quite unique, even in a global scale, and Rammstein had a lot to learn from them. As for their social activism and NSK: it has, since its very conception, been a vacuum, surrounded by a rainbow smokescreen, surrounded by a hall of mirrors in a black hole. In other words: they specialise in making you think that what they are doing is actually not as utterly empty as it really is. BUT! - even that had meaning and was productive, even if only for the provocation of it, before Yugoslavia fell apart. Shortly after that, they vanished from the scene, to return roughly at the turn of the millenium with something which sounded like they were now copying Rammstein. Social criticism is not as simple as it was in communism. Being provocative is not as simple as it was in communism; even singing Sympathy for the Devil in a church is regarded as "art" now, so mainly, Laibach and NSK are pretty pathetic and "alternative" at the moment, which coincides with their followers: mostly PR agents, (fashion) designers, interior decorators, "artists" ... everyone who wants to be "in" and "avantgarde". With solid, thick, red plastic glasses and shaven heads, and with a loose, short-sleeved shirt donned on top of a pullover with some gayish collar.

Re: Laibach.
Laibach succeeds in making compelling pieces of work out of crappy tunes. A comparation between the original versions and their powerful, yet humorous covers couldn't be anything but unmerciful. As they are.
"Opus Dei", Laibach's cover of "Live Is Life" by Opus. Last edited by Taurin; Monday, December 31st, 2007 at 15:27.

Re: Laibach.

Re: Laibach.
Oh, that emotionless type of music which made Rammstein famous. Really not my cup of tea. If I need to listen some cold stuff I can have ambient or darkwave, but I can't stand boring and monotonous vocals. Why sing if you don't put any emotion or feeling in your voice? I just don't understand that. Same goes to Depeche mode - I never liked them because of that stupid monotonous singing pattern.
