{"title":"Laibach","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilitary smoke bombs instead of dry ice once forced part of a Belgrade audience out through the venue's windows. Such was early Laibach: home-built electronics, gramophones and radios, heavy rhythms and roaring vocals, all wrapped in parodied totalitarian imagery that got the group banned from using its own name in Yugoslavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the mid-1980s the sound had grown richly layered, threading pop and classical samples beneath Milan Fras's deep bass voice in Slovene, German and English. Covers were a speciality, with light melodies recast as sinister gothic tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrics shifted from war towards whatever political issue felt most charged, always deliberately ambiguous.
