Thanks for uploading. I have the original LP of Nova Akropola somewhere in my old dears' attic! "Die Liebe" is an anthem that - IMHO - has never been equalled. The ultimate power-driven march. I feel fortunate to have seen Laibach twice on their 1985 "Nova Akropola" tour in the UK. Audience was bemused and in stasis! Punks, skins, art school types - no one had seen a band like this before! These were pre-Internet days, with the Cold War still very much a part of daily life. Bands from "the East" were exotic, but nobody expected the brutality of Laibach and their debut album. "Nova Akropola" remains a landmark album to this day. Stunning, brutal, clever, frightening, enlightening.
Alistair Boom I saw them in Brighton, at the Zap Club on the Nova Akropola tour. They were awesome! There were a couple of members of Test Dept in the audience as well 😎
@@jeffstonehouse1 Cool! I saw them twice on the "Nova Akropola" tour in 1985 in Liverpool and Manchester. They were an aural and visual bulldozer. The "senior citizen" hacking a log up with an axe on stage still sticks in my mind. I have only recently revisited their material and it's great to see Laibach still remain an incredible band, going from strength to strength.
@@BintAlAbla1999 I didn't hear about them until 1990 and this was the first track I heard. I've been hooked ever since. It was like the brutality of old Swans done with the elegance of Dead Can Dance, if that makes any sense.
@@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 Hi Eric, I also saw Swans in the 80s. Another incredible live experience. One was at the legendary "punk" Mermaid Pub in Sparkhill, Birmingham, the other in Manchester. Temporary deafness and an odd feeling of devastation and elation was the epilogue. Swans/Laibach... incredible innovators. I was a roadie for a punk band/involved in music merchandising etc at the time... and was blown away by this! Rock on!
Not knowing anything of the band itself, my then girlfriend and I bought the Nova Akropola CD in 1990 based on the cover art (graphic design one of our shared interests). Then we were wowed by the music -- she was a huge industrial fan. As I said elsewhere in comments, "Die Liebe" became our wedding march.
I saw them in mid 1980s in Sadlers Wells Theatre with Michael Clark dance company. I remember two weeks shows had been sold out, people were terrified they did not what to think of that show. Suppose to be a modern ballet...and Laibach gain so many fans back then.
Bought the Nova Akropola album when living on the top tier of a three-storey block of flats in Tower Hamlets late 80s. Used to put the speakers on my balcony and blast it out so loud you could hear it across the entire housing estate. I'd usually raise the volume for Die Liebe too. Unfortunately, it eventually caused a wife-beating sociopath who lived on the ground floor to launch a frenzied attack on the flat of some students in the middle tier, breaking through the door with a machete, thinking it was them playing the music. Fortunately, no-one was hurt, and yes I felt terribly terribly guilty.
This is how love sounds in hell. Even the devil must be scared when he hears this horror. But I really like the soft 'Liebe'- Version on the 'life is life' B-side of 1987.
I only had Opus Dei most of my life, but now I am hearing this other mid-80s stuff--and totally agree. I am sure they influenced each other... and perhaps the industrial passion of the Soviet people let them take these explosive beats to the very edge, because Swans seemed to tour eastern Europe nonstop in the 80s, and recorded their noisiest stuff there.
Nah it was just the etiquette of the time to sit still and enjoy shows quietly. Shock and values had nothing to do with it as you can see the same reaction to mainstream shows of the time too.

@@spacefertilizer I could say Throbbing Gristle started it, but its music turned main stream after becoming Chris & Cosey. Test Dept had its unique sound that other industrial music bands followed .
Nothing starts. TD would not have been possible without Throbbing Gristle and COUM, which would not have been possible without Stockhausen and Burroughs, etc.

Are these dudes suppose to be racists? I met them in California back in the early 90's. They were cool with me. They did a show in the San Francisco Bay Area in a black area. Most of the crowd was black and they seemed to to like the crowd. They even hung out afterwards and spoke to everyone for about three hours on stage (totally different music played after they performed).
No, they were supposed to be jaded modernists who mourned the fall of totalitarianism in Eastern Europe. That was their artistic gimmick. But they got misinterpreted a lot because of their props. I can remember the record sticker on one of their albums being four axes forming a Swastika going round and round, so it certainly was somewhat provocative. Also obviously impossible to release in our present sissyworld where everyone is hypersensitive about everything.
worshipper777 Daf was and is a gay fronted Band with homosexual songs. I think you don't unterstand Daf and you don't unterstand Laibach you see only the visiual things like Videos and Coverartwork and i think your know only Videos from both Bands via CZcams.
This was our wedding march. Perfect.
Glorious!
Epic.
I play this before I go to sleep to induce nightmares.

Best love song ever
I state in my will that this is to be played at my funeral
I can read the funeral program now... "to cry is to be weak."
would like to be lucky to see them in the early 80s
I was lucky to see them in 1987 in Belgrade .I was only 14 yeas old scared like this crowd in video but liked it very much.
Me too. i did catch them in 1991, though, and that was still crazy enough.
One of the greatest.... THE GREATEST song from Laibach.
Recent remix (20xx) are good to.
Love is the greatest power that can achieve anything.

I was so surprised to be in Prague and see Laibach doing a big concert on TV. They seemed way more popular than I realized.
Such an underrated band! Laibach rocks! 🤟🏼🔥🖤
Love is the greatest power, which creates everything.
I love how the instruments sound, it is like eating home cooked food, comparing to industrialized food or music.
still
One of my favorite Laibach songs EVER!!!! Thank you for posting this!!
moc jest w tym kawalku....super !
I saw them twice live, after that i wanted to join the jugoslavian army, once i interviewed them for my former radio show "Netzraut" ! ;-)
Just chilling listening to this.
Brutal!!!
So much beauty, and pain associated with breaking new ground. A Philosophy, and Viewpoint steeped in a sincere will to GROW.
The LAIBACH that I like and listen to is the LAIBACH from 1985 to 1987!
i got this record as a kid, to this day, my favorite.

why don't you think that you are a sociopath? Either that or idiocy.
@@lemminkainenfisher4455 Because I don't enjoy putting people down or hurting others.
Who else is listening this on the loop today?
I come regularly back to Laibach looping.
This is how love sounds in hell. Even the devil must be scared when he hears this horror. But I really like the soft 'Liebe'- Version on the 'life is life' B-side of 1987.
A truly empowering marching piece.
That are real LOVE feelings 👏👏👏👏.
Anybody noticed the similarities in this to the Swans alternative version of 'Money is flesh'? It is definately there in that pounding drum beat.

Pjesma mi taman za dušu.
Wow... this video is powerful!
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷, I like It
Die Liebe ist der Wille zum Leben.
3:42 This performance must have been a huge traumatic event for those people.
They were frozen for 30 seconds!
If you consider that this is in communist country back then with nazi ideas I wonder how they didn't end up in jail , I got this Vinyl
Static totalitarian cry! and also you can't throw your own state band in jail! What kind of a confused ideology would ban their own - oh wait
Nah it was just the etiquette of the time to sit still and enjoy shows quietly. Shock and values had nothing to do with it as you can see the same reaction to mainstream shows of the time too.
love love love for ever
Classic Martial Industrial at its finest
Beutelsbacher Direktsaft ist die größte Kraft, die alles schafft!
Hell yes, ficken über!
Laibach is unchallenged and I'm so grateful that they're uploading their original work.
perfect!
I. BUY the MUSIC
II. SUPPORT the ARTIST(S)
III. SUPPORT the SCENE
Much better than the actual version
Actual version = bullshit
this is clearly their more commercial work
DEAD!
LOL @ Richard :)
they started selling out around this time
No doubt love song sell a lot ;)
Yes, but it was their single. Singles were supposed to be more commercial.
SUPERB! Thankyou.
Heute das Schweissband "Slovenien" erhalten! Danke!
This throws alot..The beat alone..
My track number 1 from them
I got vinyl die liebe and raus best songs ever from laibach

J adore la maniere de chanter de Francky Vincent, et il est si sexy avec son crane rase et sa moustache. NEUE ANTILLISCHE KUNST
Remarque époustouflante !
Phil Anselmo said "You keep die liebe"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH love as gad (Das ich /atrocity 's cover is very kool tho)
It all started with Test Dept, but Laibach has remained one of the best industrial bands ever. The 1986 version was better though...
It didn’t start with test dept....

Industrial before it existed
Industrial already existed in the 80s for quite a long time, lol
Industrial originated in the 70s
Das ich Feat Atrocity die liebe hail hail
this was our song. ... newsflash: we are no longer together
More cowbell!
genau so wars

They are from ex Yugoslavia like me they are more anti Communists
They're not. Their politics are far left. Think Slavoj Žižek.
@@IslamBenfifi far left how? They're against authoritarianism. So anti nazi and anti communist

Endlich haben alle seinen sachen in frieden gekocht.
Lyricks?
Love can do anything. Rinse and repeat? It's not exactly highfalutin poetry.
主唱有点像老蒋
Laibach ist LAIBACH
That's both horrible and fascinating.
when they were stilL sounding like LAIBACH and not like D.A.F if you see what i mean !!!
+Whyte Groovin Who is D.A.F ? Couldn't find them through a google search, what does it stand for?
+Goldeneye Dog Not sure, but I'm guessing Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft.
DAF is so much better than these clowns
you sound like you are really completely clueless
worshipper777 Daf was and is a gay fronted Band with homosexual songs. I think you don't unterstand Daf and you don't unterstand Laibach you see only the visiual things like Videos and Coverartwork and i think your know only Videos from both Bands via CZcams.
индастриал.
Kind of a shame every version of it besides the album one has such bad sound quality. And the album one has a way too weak drum machine sound
What the hell that audience :/
they were mesmerised, their minds stunned by the Laibachkunstmachine
bad song
Heil Laibach🤚
