Laibach Album: “Rekapitulacija 1980-84 [Bonus Tracks]”

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.
