LAIBACHKUNSTDERFUGE

LAIBACHKUNSTDERFUGE, the Bach versus Laibach concert, wil be released by Mute in digital format only on 5th of May. Meanwhile the album was released on cd in Slovenia.

Laibach’s interpretation of Bach’s Kunst der Fuge is not a usual Laibach concert but a 90 min performance-installation show – a concert for “ Kreuzschach und vier Schachspieler”, with surround sound and visuals.

Laibach will present "Laibach Kunst Der Fuge" live in May 2008. Unlike the show in Leipzig during the Bach Tage, the line up will include live Electronic Drums and Keyboards this time.
