专辑介绍
by Ned Raggett
Taken from three separate dates on said tour, in Hamburg, London, and the band's home base of Ljubljana, Slovenia, Occupied 1985 Europe Tour demonstrates that, thanks to its early homeland efforts and the accompanying notoriety, the group's punishing, dramatic, and knowingly over-the-top presentation was well-established. The majority of the tracks come from Nova Akropola, along with a few cuts from the early self-titled album; though the arrangements are little different from the studio cuts, the full-bodied blast the group can bring to bear provides the main reason to listen. The wracked, roared vocals on a nearly quarter-hour-long &Nova Akropola& sound even more harrowing here, audibly distorting the tape, while the snippets and samples that help make up &Vojna Poema& and &Die Grösste Kraft& sound even more haunting and strangely dislocated from their original sources. The version of &Drzava& is a bit different, admittedly -- Tito's sample is placed in &Vade Retro!,& while the track is little more than recited murk. For all this, one can't but think that this would work better as an audiovisual presentation instead of just a live album. Anyone fortunate enough to have seen the group's shows around that time can pretty easily imagine the combination of film, lighting, and stage presentation that made the likes of &Vier Personen& and &Die Liebe Ist& even more of a seeming soundtrack to a rally. The latter especially is a full-on slammer, one of the band's most immediately conventional numbers in the beat but all the more of a perverse death-march joke for that reason here. Audience noise is occasionally heard, but the lack of it at some points either indicates that turnout was pretty low at the start for the collective or that Laibach knew exactly how to stun crowds into silence -- something hard to put past them at any point.
