Laibach have once again `re-invented' themselves into a newly born, yet polished and solid, formation. And, as is now customary, Laibach call into question all the rigid and cemented interpretations (and prejudices) about themselves, about their music, intentions, philosophy and ideology. Laibach are masters of escape, true escape artists. And yet, despite everything, `Spectre' resonates as a real and full-blooded Laibachian work and nothing else. With `Spectre' Laibach have created a big, important, and almost dangerous step forward; it seems that this time it has fatally crossed the Rubicon. On this album the group - which has never defined itself politically, but has, nevertheless, constantly analysed politics through its work - comes across as politically engaged as never before. `Spectre' literally sounds like a political manifesto in poetic form. Titles and lyrics couldn't be more direct. With these lyrics and songs, Laibach, who have always given a controversial impression - or an impression of controversy - especially in terms of its political orientation, is now very clearly taking a position on the political spectrum and probably irreversibly abolishing its own (to some extent quite comfortable) political `freedom' and neutrality.A1 The Whistleblowers 3:31 A2 No History 3:17 A3 Eat Liver! 3:10 A4 Americana 4:29 A5 We Are Millions And Millions Are One 4:23 B1 Eurovision 4:38 B2 Walk With Me 3:55 B3 Bossanova 3:11 B4 Resistance Is Futile 6:53 B5 Koran 5:22
