Title: Liabach Uber Alles
Post by: KharBevNor on 27 Dec 2006, 07:55

Is there anyone else on this board quite as obsessed with Slovenian industrial band/collective Laibach as I am? Does anyone else hear even know them?

I tried to write a description of Laibach here, but it didn't work. Basically, just watch their videos and see if you get it. Lots of strange and fantastic music and bizarre visuals within.

This basically arises from me just watching all of Laibachs vids from over the 26 years they've been rocking (Drzava was their first, Anglia their latest) and thinking how fucking good they really were.

The Final Countdown and Tanz Mit Laibach are brilliant.

You heard the Evil's Toy version of In The Army Now? It's kinda spiffy, not sure if they entirely did it justice but still worth a gander.

Best Laibach videos.

Sympathy For the Devil also rocks, if only for that opening shot when the singing starts.

Also, because I have it on vinyl.

No, I have the album on vinyl. It is possible to encode video on to a record though.
