Music Is the Art of Time 3, LP Film Laibach poster
7.2

A film about the first Laibach album officially released in Yugoslavia. The record came out despite the political ban that was in place on the band's name at the time, in 1985 - but without the name or a title. A black cross on the cover was enough.

They say that the blues was born from suffering and from a desperate desire to overcome it, through music, through constant aimless travels, drowning in alcohol. If we talk about blues as all this, then Vili Fajdiga's life was a typical blues one. At that time (1920), in Zasavje and Trbovlje, similar social conditions were evidently established as in the American Mississippi Delta, necessary for the birth of blues music. This is a story about a difficult and varied life, creativity, passion, hope, about falls and not always ups and downs, about love for a woman, for music, for life.

Laibach - Spectre Tour Live in Ljubljana poster
NR

As part of the Spectre world tour, Laibach returned to the city after which it is named (Križanke 16. 5. 2014). The concert was clearly divided into three parts. In the first part, they presented material from the new album. With Milan Fras and Mina Špiler in the foreground and a recognizable animation in the background, the band replayed the new album and ended it with the song Whistleblowers. In the second part, they played some old songs from Brat moj through B Machina, Leben Tod to See that my grave and kept clean. For the third part or additions, they left Tanz mit Laibach and Das Spiel ist Aus. Laibach proved once again that they remain a young, agile and current band.
