Laibach - The Sound of Music

[Cuntbeaks]

Never seen the film and i haven't heard the album yet, save for this superb earworm, complete with insidious video.

The Lonely Goatherd

They are embarking on a tour and currently have all manner of excellent, yet expensive, Ltd Ed posters on their website.

[Hey, Punk!]

Laibach are very good, I find myself oddly drawn to the militaristic totalitatian aesthetic. Although, I suppose the appeal is part of the message, they revealed how easily pop tunes could be transformed into marching songs. They also seem to tap into the bright cheery innocent image that a lot of fascists attempted to cultivate in their propaganda, with such marching songs as Erika, the Lonely Goatherd is a prime example of that.

I saw them last year in Paris for the Also Sprach Zarathustra tour. It was good, but I guess I would have preferred to see them play their hits from Opus Dei and Spectre.
edit: this new album is very good indeed!
