i was just struck by how many cover versions they had done, and how many of had these very high production values promo videos. right from the start. Did Mute pay for them? they seem on a par with Depeche Mode's videos of the same era, gloss wise, but i shouldn't have thought Laibach were selling as many records by a long shot. I find the idea of Laibach more entertaining than the reality, on the whole - still got bad memories of the night i had to review all six versions of 'sympathy for the devil' for melody maker singles column, conscientious chappie that i am I played all of them all the way through, this at about 4 AM. But i do really like Kapital (recommendation of Mr Moon Wiring Club).

This is a band I decided never to listen to, as I feared that they would never sound as good as I imagined they sounded.

Like all those Aussie punk bands (Radio Birdman, New Christs) who are better off imagined than actually experienced.

Bit of a Borat vibe also going on with Laibach, I feel.
