I've been listening to Laibach since 1988, and I'm glad to see that they are still doing things they want to do. They just don't care about Mainstream and show their kind of Arts. NSK, keep it up!

Slovenian brothers, I am honored to be able to listen to you, your music, thank you..

[@karllux-d6g]

There's no turning around the subject - they are the MOST important musical group in the whole occupied Europe in the last 40 years (and much so, since D. in June moved to Australia). Their secret? Impossible to fathom but one can start learning how masterfully they've aimed this colossal mirror towards the West and, by repeating the ''alchemical'' transformation of its ''cultural products'', sincerely tried to warn us all of our present decadence. I can not put in words the respect, admiration and thankfulness we owe them.

[@irenaalhotari6179]

unfortunately very few people understands what Laibach wanted to say.

[@karllux-d6g]

@@irenaalhotari6179 i don't claim to ''understand'' them, but that is sure the way i see them throughout the long years, thank the godz - as a matter of fact, even the godz are still puzzled with the almighty Laibach, Your kind remark reminded me about those early brain cracking interviews and those apparently unhinged responses, using a stripped bare 1984-ish party rethoric. A glimpse of genius and courage.

[@ludwigfeuerbach]

Years ago I was in the room when two of my friends interviewed them over the phone. After Milan explained his plans for world domination, or the future of music, or whaever, one of my friends said "good luck with that." To which Milan responded, in his amazing voice, "You'd better hope not."

The father(?) who resembles Pinochet[?!??, or it’s just me], trembles a lot with his LEFT arm limping down the stairs, as AH had a severe shakes with his right arm down the Armageddon road 1943-44… He tried to support it w/ his left, as here I see a mirroring? And that one resembles a prosthetic like Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers, 1964), but he used the right arm…. ) Suggested was that AH suffered from Parkinson’s disease, symptoms do not contradict, but Dr. Morell did not investigate the case further… since the mind also deteriorates, that might explain H’s more and more irrational behaviour. A mad man if possible gone further into total madness… And those cute North Korean school Juche uniforms…

@@MUZAKFORCAGES Laibach and Kraftwerk both stay forever fresh as they're Showroom Dummies/Robots and Vier Personen. LAIBACH is an organism whose goals, life and means of activity are higher - in strength and duration - than the goals, lives and means of the individuals which comprise it. I think the video backs this up with the child lip syncing Milan's lines - Milan is the singer for now, but others were before him and others may be after, just as different members have used the same four pseudonyms over time to cultivate that anonymity and keep the individuals within the band mystified. Most of the core members are quite young currently, but if you mean Milan, Ivan (Jani), Dejan and Ervin, then yeah... they're certainly ageing, but Laibach by its very nature functions irrespective of those four individual men (all of which have at times not been in the band whatsoever). I'm making a video essay based about this, it should be up soon. Sorry for the rant!
