Music reviews of The Occupied Europe Tour 1985
Music Review: cold war music renaissance
Rating: 5 Stars
Slovenia was the first state to break free from the Yugoslav Federation. For years, Serbian nationalists tried to slander Laibach as "pro-German" and even "neo-fascist." This explains the band's adoption of totalitarian trappings as a mocking rebuke to Yugo-/Serbia's "new socialist man" (what we might call "P.C.").The first Occupied Europe Tour took place at the critical last stage of the Cold War. Ronald Reagan had given his speech in Europe calling for a United States of Europe (printed on the cd cover). Within four years the Cold War would be over and shortly after that the House of Yugoslavia would go up in flames.
Laibach's self-titled film is a hysterical documentation of this period; it's scary stuff. Shame it's hard to find.
The music here is scary, and the performances are quite good. This is probably the best introduction to Laibach. Indeed the CD was distributed in the months before the Slovenian unilateral declaration of independence. "Vier Personen" is dancey war music if such a thing exists. A nice compliment to Macbeth.
