Ljubljana-Zagreb-Beograd
Laibach
Mute
This album serves to document Laibach's early, pure industrial period. Recorded live, it's one of the few albums to feature original frontman, Tomaz Hostnik, who left the band and later committed suicide.
Tinny and - true to the genre- discordant and mechanical, it does contain some hints of the madness to come, albiet in a sketchy manner. At times they sound not too unlike Cabaret Voltaire or Throbbing Gristle circa '79.
The album also includes an early studio version of Drzava that threatens to resolve itself into a straight ahead rock song, but doesn't.
For completists and the curious only.
