("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the Slovenian
version is called) was written in 1982 by frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed in December that year. I believe it was his
suicide note. It doesn't appear as a song on this album, only as a
(translated German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at least
three other Laibach albums. A live is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their for a theatre production). A studio version is
found on "Trans Slovenia Express", a collection of Slovenian bands
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the 1987 "Slovenska Akropola",
in former Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much English translation in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I don't it.)
