Wir sind Geister von dieser Welt,

("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the original
version is called) was written in by then 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 album, only as a poem
(translated into German) in the CD booklet, but it on at least
three other Laibach albums. A version 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 songs, and on the 1987 album "Slovenska Akropola",
in former Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much better English in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I don't it.)
