Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a retrospective of the Slovenian art collective's heavily censored formative years, this double album presents a dense, terrifying wall of early martial industrial noise. The punishing, repetitious rhythms and oppressive use of totalitarian aesthetic sampling served as a radical, highly controversial critique of state-controlled ideology in Eastern Europe.
