A Great CD

"After hearing Laibach's later works, listening to this CD was shocking. It represents them in a much more raw, political state. If you are a fan of euro-industrial, you will enjoy this CD. Otherwise, you might want to stay away or acclimate yourself to the style of this CD by listening to some of Laibach's later albums.A Few Interesting Tracks:Sila (The Force) is dominated by a swift, mechanical beat. Perspektive (Perspectives) features a reading of the band's philosophy over an interesting backround beat. Vade Retro Satanas is among the darkest, most evil-sounding songs I have ever heard.Bear in mind that the focus of Laibach in the making of this album was to state their politics and to make a statement, not to be entertaining and acessible. This means this album will only be enjoyable to you if you are already a fan of harsh euro-industrial music like Einstürzende Neubauten. Giving this album to a fan of top 20 modern American fizzy-pop dreck would be like giving a bottle of vodka to a baby. If your tastes are refined/eclectic enough, you will come to consider this CD to be a classic."
