LAIBACH SIDE PROJECTS
"Besides LAIBACH, which concerns itself with the manner
of industrial production in totalitarianism, there also exists two other
groups in the concept of LAIBACH KUNST aesthetics:
GERMANIA studies the emotional side , which is outlined in relations to
the general ways of emotional, erotic and family life, lauding the foundations
of the state functioning of emotions on the old classicist form of new
social ideologies.
DREIHUNDERT TAUSEND VERSCHIEDENE KRAWALLE is a retrospective futuristic
negative utopia.
( The era of peace has ended.)"

300.000 VK - TITAN, 2005
TRANSPLANETARY MUSIC
TITAN "soundtrack" to Saturn-Cassini mission
We are announcing the release of the new 300.000 Verschiedene Krawalle CD, titled TITAN. Music on TITAN is conceptually inspired by transplanetary mission of Cassini-Huygens space project (scientific research of the planet Saturn) and it is therefore presenting itself as a soundtrack to this great and important expedition.
About Huygens-Cassini mission
Saturn is the last planet we are to see with our own eyes. Its rotation time lasts about 29 years, which corresponds to the tone D in the 37th octave with 147.85 Hz. Its color is blue with a wavelength of about 460 Nanometers. Since ancient times Saturn has been associated with Capricorn. The thinking of usefulness is very closely related to Saturn. It supports the ability for concentration, the general of gaining consciousness and shows very clearly karmic connections. It brings structure and order.
The Cassini mission to Saturn is the most ambitious effort in planetary space exploration ever mounted. A joint endeavor of NASA, the European Space Agency – ESA and the Italian space agency, Cassini is sending a sophisticated robotic spacecraft to orbit the ringed planet and study the Saturnian’s system in detail over a four-year period. Onboard Cassini is a scientific probe called Huygens that was released from the main spacecraft to parachute through the atmosphere to the surface of Saturn’s largest and most interesting moon, Titan.
Launched in 1997, Cassini reached Saturn in 2004 after an interplanetary cruise spanning nearly seven years. The six instruments on the Huygens probe have provided our first direct sampling of Titan’s atmospheric chemistry and the first photographs of its hidden surface.
Haze-covered Titan offers a tantalizing mix of an Earth-like, nitrogen-based atmosphere and the surface that many scientists believe probably features chilled lakes of ethane and a surface coated with sticky brown organic condensate that has rained down from the atmosphere. Standing on Titan’s surface beneath an orange sky, a visitor from Earth would likely find a cold, exotic world with a pungent odor reminiscent of a petroleum processing facility. Because Titan and Earth share so much in atmospheric composition, Titan is thought to hold clues to how the primitive Earth evolved into a life-bearing planet.
On January 14, 2005, the 2.7-meter-diameter Huygens entered Titan’s atmosphere, deployed its parachutes and began its scientific observations during a descent of up to two and a half hours through that moon’s dense atmosphere. As the probe broke through the cloud deck, a camera captured pictures of the Titans panorama. Titan’s surface properties have been observed, and about 1,000 images of the clouds and surface have been returned. In the final moments of decent, a spotlight illuminated the surface for the imaging instrument onboard. Throughout its mission, Huygens will radio data collected by its instruments to the Cassini orbiter to be stored and then relayed to Earth…
The Saturnian system offers more variety in scientific targets for study than any other planet in our solar system. Over the course of Cassini’s four-year mission, and through the studies of Titan by the Huygens probe, scientists expect to reveal new discoveries and enrich our understanding of phenomena in fields including biology, climatology, volcanism, tectonics, the physics of disc systems such as galaxies and solar system formation, and more.

300.000 VK - Hard Drive, 1999
"It's 1999. And this is more than a follow-up to the "Peter Paracelsus"
and "Also sprach Johann Paul II" projects. It is an aural
articulation of the concept of "H-D (HARD DRIVE; Historical-Dialectical)
techno", following the "satanic techno" of Paracelsus
and the "sacre-techno" of "Also sprach Johann Paul
II".
So: who could represent the dialectical sequel to
the "Paracelsus" and "John Paul II" concepts?
Who can be a metaphor for the synthesis of both? Which concept/idea
does in this day and age encompass and represent a synthesis of
the good medicine and alchemy of Paraclesus and the militant, expansive
spirituality of John Paul II? It had to be someone in the domain
of the digital, also someone defined by the "soft" and
the "micro" adjectives and the "hard" and "driving"
ones. And the "positive weltanschauung" and "bottom
line instinct" criteria had to be the collateral.
And more: it had to be someone whose "target
population" will soon outnumber the global churchgoers of all
denominations, and whose low-orbit satellite network will get us
all a step closer to a potentially universal well-being; but also
someone who has in his early days programmed the future to the tune
of non-techno music and the hard & heavy thunder of a Porsche.
Yes, it was rather inevitable. So let it be crystal clear: this
is a dialectical inevitability as well as a tribute- maybe too obvious
for some in the "West", but thoroughly logical and artistically
valid for us here.
And where's that? It's not so much the "East"-an
outdated and lazy concept- as in the intermittent, excitingly grey-area-
the K's castle backyard known geographically as (South) Central
Europe. The NSK turf.

300.000 VK - Also Sprach Johann Paul II, 1996
In the beginning of March publishing house A.M.D.G. released second
album by group 300,000 Verschiedene Krawalle, called ”Also sprach
Johann Paul II”.
Its main preoccupation is connected to Christian religion
and its main figure pope John Paul II and Nietzche’s and Strauss’
Zarathustra.
Group 300,000 Verschiedene Krawalle works as a side
project of some members of Laibach at NSK. Its first record was
released in 1994 in co-operation with Department of Pure and Applied
Philosophy. Group 300,000 V.K. is also known by some remixes, which
the group signed on Laibach records (Sympathy for the devil,...).

300.000 VK - Paracelsus, 1994
On the 31st of October 1994, Ljubljana distributors/publishers Nika/Ropot
released an esoteric album by artists from the Department
of Pure and Applied Philosophy and 300,000 Verschiedene Krawalle
(a Laibach side project), called "Paracelsus".
Paracelsus was the first musical performance created
by Peter and 300.000 V.K. and an artistic event called "The
Whip of God", in the year 1992 in Villach, Austria. In this
town also lived and worked Phillipus Aureoulous Theophastus Bombastus
von Hochenheim - Paracelsus, famous renaissance doctor, theologician,
magician, alchemist, scientist, philosopher.
The record sees the launching of the theory and musical
style known as Satanic techno. Just as Paracelsus drove away illnesses,
so Satanic techno means the force which the divine spirit uses to
destroy the kingdom of evil through trauma therapy, thus demonstrating
its dominance over nature, and wields like a method of exorcism.
To coincide with the release Peter and 300,000 V.K.
filmed a promotional video "Venite Lucifer", made in cooperation
with Retrovision. The project was presented live at Laibach's concert
at DC3 Dakota in Ljubljana on the 26th of October 1995.
