Random Music Moment · 8:38pm Dec 9th, 2012
A while back I saw the film "Iron Sky" (hilarious, by the way, even if the whole political angle was a bit anvilicious - also, is it just me, or does Silva from Skyfall look a lot like Chris Kirby when his skin had been bleached?)
Okay I lost track there. Damn you parentheses! So I saw Iron Sky, and through that I was introduced to Laibach, who apparently did a lot of the music for the film. Now, I don't like Laibach. They aren't my thing (they are, in fact, very much not my thing) but every artist is capable of producing at least one great work that can be appreciated by those who don't normally find them remotely appealing.
Case in point, Laibach's B Mashina.
It's an interesting one. It tells some sort of a story, but the story is a rather ambiguous. Is it about spaceflight? War? The end of the world? It doesn't really matter all that much, what matters is that it perfectly builds through several layers of plot to the final crescendo.
Can't stand Laibach, but I love this. Funny old world...
I'm the same way. I don't care for most of their songs, but I love that one. One of their covers of Sympathy for the Devil (they did an entire album of that song in different styles) was rather good, too.

I have nothing to contribute to this discussion.
THAT, my dear archonix, was quite amazing, if a bit confusing.
