Older Laibach is very dark and brooding and noisy
industrial music. Best albums from that era: "
Laibach", "
Lljubljana - Zagreb - Beograd" and "
M.B. December 21. 1984" - two latter are live albums and the first is their debut full-length album. All are easily available from
Mute Records' sublabel
Grey Area.
Newer Laibach is more in the pop-mockery vein. "NATO" is all-cover album, covering Europe, DAF, Pink Floyd, Status Quo and many others. "Let it be" is full cover (except the title song) of The Beatles album with the same name. "Opus Dei" is bit more industrial and gloomy and with more original songs. Excellent covers include, however, "Life is Life" by Opus and "Geburt einer Nation"; "One Vision" by Queen, cleverly highlighting the fascist overtones in the original song. The lyrics have not been changed much, only translated in German and presented so it sounds like Nazi propaganda song. Excellent work.
