Review:
It is difficult for me to do a full review of this album because I only
have a few tracks from it (they can be found on the CD version of 'Opus
Dei'). I have read a number of independent reviews and can conclude that
this album is very much in the same vein as 'Macbeth'. It is the
soundtrack to an NSK, avant garde style theatrical production. The album
is said to be lavishly illustrated, and some suggest that this is
Laibach's finest hour:
"Yet, however interesting Laibach's cultural scavenging proves in the
long run (and the recent metal-tinged 'Jesus Christ Superstars' wears
painfully thin), their greatest reward comes in the earlier 'Krst pod
Triglavom-Baptism' (Sub Rosa, import), a theatrical ritual of horror and
fear."
JS (Jim) Adams reviews for American Bear
American Bear #21, October / November 1997 Scary Monsters: tributes,
requiems and soliloquies; things that go thump, bump, bang and twang in
the night...
Worth Buying?
Listen to the audio clips and decide if you like this more avant garde
style music. If you like Laibach's interpretation of 'Macbeth' then 'Krst
pod Triglavom - Baptism' might be for you.
