Subject: DVD REVIEW:LAIBACH Anthems - The Videos
Laibach: The Videos is a visual spectacle that will perplex and entertain anyone who loves the challenging music of Laibach.

This great collection of videos, spanning Laibach’s controversial career of making people feel uncomfortable, is a definite DVD to explore. Although Laibach has been accused of being both fascists and communists, I suppose the band’s choice of totalitarian visual elements can lead to such a simplified conclusion.
Aside from any speculation about Laibach’s political affiliation, the band has always managed to turn the music upside down and inside out, displaying an unpalatable moveable feast not fit for consumption. Visually speaking, Laibach uses the art of juxtaposition to stunning effect, often bringing about seemingly contradictory imagery while obliterating all referential equilibrium in the process.
So, visually, what you have on this DVD is an amalgamation of the grainy martial lens of Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda films, the pastoral militancy from The Sound of Music, wartime newsreels, and the desolation of Solaris. The video for the song “Final Countdown” is a futuristic New World of computer graphics and animation (directed by Laibach in 1994) that is absolutely stunning.
Besides the thirteen videos, Laibach also included on this DVD a documentary (WAT EPK) on the origins of Laibach and NSK (the artistic collective from where the band originated), plus individual commentary about all of the songs on their WAT CD. Even more fun than reading Spengler’s Der Untergang des Abendlandes, this DVD is a must see for fans of the band, or for the perpetually curious who might enjoy pondering the devastation of the next world war.
