LOL, The reason I know who they are is because when I was a kid (older than 9, more like 14 or 15 I think) I got the 'Black Box' collection from Wax Trax records, and they had 2 videos on it (Gubert Einer Nation and Life is Life)....me and my friend were watching it, and they came on....we must have watched them 20 times trying to figure out just what the hell was going on or if this was some kind of weird joke.
Oh man, found it...this came on, and we were just like WTF is this?
It's a masterpiece. Laibach is part of the nSk art movement. One of the Leitmotivs of nSk art is that that all ideologies share the same patterns and that their properties are basically exchangeable and that even systems that claim not to be ideologues and at first glance seem opposed to ideology are indeed ideologies with the very same properties and patterns.
The song "Geburt einer Nation" (Birth of a Nation) is a cover of Queen's "One Vision" song. The melody was militarized and the lyrics were translated word by word into German. Queen's song is about all humankind becoming one, overcoming racism and nationalism and so forth. But take the same words, translate them into German and play with with a militaristic music style and every listener not knowing the background and understanding some German will immediately assume it's some kind of fascist music.
I would like every read who knows arabic to do some experiment: Take these lyrics of "One vision"
One man, one goal, one mission
One heart, one soul, just one solution
One flash of light, one God, one vision
One flesh, one bone
One true religion
One voice, one hope
One real decision
Give me one vision
No wrong, no right
I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white
No blood, no stain
All we need is one world wide vision
One flesh, one bone
One true religion
One race, one hope
One real decision
One vision
So give me your hands
Give me your hearts
I'm ready
There's only one direction
One world, one nation
One vision
No hate, no fight
Just excitation
All through the night
It's a celebration
Translate that into Arabic. Now imagine it sung by a choir of male singers in an oriental/islamic style with a music video showing people praying and during the haji in Mecca.
The following video/song shows that relation between politics/religion/science/economy/pop culture:
