	Laibach (band) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Laibach formed June 1, 1980 in Trbovlje, Slovenia, Laibach represents the music wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) art collective, of which it was a founding member in 1984.
		Laibach has frequently been accused of both far-left and far-right political stances due to their use of uniforms and aesthetics and also due to the Wagnerian influence found in some of their music, notably the thunder in "Sympathy for the Devil (Time for a Change)" and releases such as Macbeth.
		Laibach is also known for their cover versions, which are often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song - most notable being their cover version of the song "Life is Life" on the album Opus Dei, which completely changes the meaning of the song from the original writers' intentions.

	ARTMARGINS: Winifred Griffin - LAIBACH: The Instrumentality of the State Machine
		Laibach's aesthetic strategy of staging "constructions" of violence and state power involves the manipulation of reactions of fascination and fear, seduction and repulsion and the subject's desire to remain a passive receptor, the role most commonly adopted by the the audience of entertainment.
		Laibach were not allowed to appear in concert under the name "Laibach," but the band continued to perform concerts announced through posters invoking Kassimir Malevich's Suprematist image, the Black Cross.
		Laibach make the repetitive character of socially dominant power structures apparent and show the rituals of social identification and the desires associated with them to be senseless rituals followed in a necessarily non-reflective manner.

	Laibach - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Laibach is an industrial group whose members prefer to be known as a collective rather than reveal individual names; they've been seen as fascists and of practicing Germanophilia because of their music's Wagnerian thunder and their military attire.
		According to Laibach, "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter." Since fascism needs a scapegoat to flourish, the members of Laibach mocked it by becoming their own scapegoat and willingly sought alienation.
		Laibach's music had remained a challenging combination of military marches and tape loops that only fans of Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound, and the like paid much attention to, but things were about to change.

	Laibach: Biography
		Laibach's response to this confusion was to present themselves as a totalitarian organism whose zeal for authority far outstripped that of the state.
		Laibach's name itself contained the germ of their future strategy: Being the German for Ljubljana, it was fraught with uneasy associations.
		During the intervening years Laibach played a cat-and-mouse game with the various authorities who seemed to be embarrassed by this group who were consciously calling on them to more rigorously exercise their authority.

		There's something decidedly wrong about watching the opening of Laibach's performance from behind the sound desk of the Meanfiddler, encased as it is in a sturdy cage to protect the technicians.
		Laibach's point is most expressly made when the 'Volk' part of the night comes to a close.
		To dwell in Laibach's world is certainly interesting - hell, you're still allowed to hear your favourite decadent pop songs ('Final Countdown' and 'Viva Las Vegas' form part of the closing medly), marching to Laibach's stern beat.

	Laibach: Volk - Release Music Magazine review
		In the context of pop music, the ability of this Slovenian band to cross cultural borders and raise a stir with their confrontational, probing and complex expression, is nothing less than astonishing.
		The album booklet carries quotes describing how the English language is colonizing the world, and Laibach is indeed in the awkward position of having to use English translations in the songs to reach an audience of any size with their message.
		Laibach is an iconic band, but perpetrating your image for too long leads to stagnation.

	rfmcdpei: [BLOG-LIKE POSTING] Slovenia and Laibach
		I first remember reading about Laibach in my copy of the Rough Guide to Rock Music, which painted a fascinating portrait of a rock group that was also a performance group, and which incidentally had a hugely disproportionate effect on the culture of its nation of origin.
		Laibach were positively received because in their performances of radical 'over-identification' they exactly alluded to the universal nature of totalitarian forms of domination.
		LAIBACH: Art is noble mission that demands fanaticism, and Laibach is an organism whose goals, life and means are higher - in their power and duration — than the goals, lives and means of its individual members.

	How Slovenian is it? Michael Benson on Laibach - Music ArtForum - Find Articles
		LAIBACH USED TO BE A FORCE to reckon with.
		A self-proclaimed "state without territory," NSK initially borrowed many of its shock stratagems from Laibach, starting with its name: In the early '80s, merely using German (which no NSK member actually speaks) was a provocation in a country founded on the mythology of Yugoslav resistance to the Nazi invasion.
		Laibach is the German name for Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, which was one of the six Yugoslav republics but is now an independent state; the Germanized version of the name was imposed during the Nazi occupation and five hundred years of Hapsburg domination.

	PlugInMusic.com : Review : Laibach - Laibach
		Laibach’s sinister image was further reinforced in the public mind by the band’s stark drum-and-synthesizer sound, Nuremberg-rally-like live shows, and mostly German lyrics sung in a devilish death-metal croak, backed by eerie, Wagnerian choirs of boys and women.
		However, behind the fascistic façade, the members of Laibach were the polar opposite of everything their aesthetics suggested: anarchic idealists, artists, and activists who opposed tyranny in all its forms (fascistic, communistic, capitalistic) and envisioned a future free of war and oppression.
		Easily the most misunderstood band of the past century (only Devo comes close in that category) and ranking among history’s most politically significant musicians (alongside Bob Marley and American folk singer/labor organizer Joe Hill), Laibach are a band of devils deserving far more sympathy than they have received.

	Blather: Laibach in Dublin
		The rest of the band file onto the stage, to a heavy techno drum beat.
		While it's the intial impression, LAIBACH are too clever, too articulate, and far too arty to be mere neo-facists or socialist hanger-ons.
		Eventually, amidst the strobes and fragmentrary projections, the band stride off stage in through a wall of noise, only reappear to play the orchestral cut-up of Anti-semitism, and a peculiar version of the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil.

		To Laibach in 1985, recording vocals in German was a method to attract more fans than they could have in their less-widely-spoken Slovene.
		Laibach, uniquely, linguistically reoriented themselves twice in order to gain popularity, eventually leaving all traces of their original language in the cultural dust.
		Kraftwerk is widely known and respected for being one of the first bands, and certainly the most well-known, to successfully combine electronic music with enough of a pop flavor to draw international distribution as well as radio and club play.

	Bagatellen: Laibach/Killing Joke
		Laibach forces me to rethink my position on the uses of irony in music.
		This tactic was/is particularly poisonous when manifested as indie bands taking on the tropes of hard rock and/or metal, effectively (given the socioeconomic roots of indie rock vs. those of hard rock/metal) ridiculing their social inferiors for the amusement of their peers.
		And the lyrics are no longer as consumed by blood-and-fire pseudo-nationalistic rants (pseudo, because Laibach famously declared their art group, Neue Slovenische Kunst, to be its own nation), and are now more often than not mere boasts about the band’s own potency.

		Laibach never did just compose noisy, bombastic songs, but anthemic, huge, bombastic musical statements.
		Laibach has been a group that has also integrated art, politics and social climate into their work, making them very confusing and frightening to many.
		Laibach has taken the very interesting approach of bringing you their latest hit first (from WAT) and then go backwards from there (to the first).
