Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A thundering return to form by the zany Slovenian funsters. If Laibach's initial response to the destruction of Yugoslavia--1992's Kapital album--had been disappointingly obtuse (even by Laibach's formidable standards) and altogether disappointing, Nato more than makes up for it: it is all at once their most startling, powerful, hilarious (though whether or not this is intentional remains, as ever, a moot point) and strangely moving work. The CD booklet--usually employed by Laibach as a repository of eerie, Nazi-esque visuals or frankly incomprehensible political manifestos--this time contains no more than the preamble of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's constitution: "NATO is the framework for an alliance designed to prevent aggression or to repel it, should it occur. It is determined to safeguard freedom, common heritage and civilisation". In the context of the time--this, remember, was a year before NATO's aircraft put a criminally overdue stop to the siege of Sarajevo--it is exquisitely damning. Nato itself is a collection of cover versions, each rendered in the traditional Laibach style--that is, as a turbo-charged Bavarian marching song, delivered with gruff, undeniably Germanic vocals and embellished with electronic squiggles and eerie choirs of valkyries. The songs chosen include Edwin Starr's "War", Status Quo's "In The Army Now", Pink Floyd's "Dogs Of War" and, most gloriously, Europe's "The Final Countdown". The latter is souped up to sound like either or both the national anthem of some ghastly, institutionally moronic future European super-state, and an appropriately, extravagantly foolish lament to the extravagantly foolish fate that befell their homeland. --Andrew Mueller
