To mark the 40th anniversary of their debut, Laibach and Mute present the Laibach 40 vinyl and CD box sets. Their 1985 debut—originally issued without the band’s name due to censorship—now appears in a fully remastered facsimile edition under its intended title, Nebo žari / The Sky is Glowing.
The collection includes key archival recordings: Ljubljana – Zagreb – Beograd (their first 1982 concerts), M.B. December 21, 1984 (a semi-legal Ljubljana show, on vinyl for the first time), and We Forge the Future (a new performance with historical members recreating their 1983 Zagreb Biennale set).
Presented in a specially designed box, it also features a booklet of archival photos, newly commissioned essays, and the film Laibach: Music is the Art of Time on DVD. Laibach 40 celebrates the uncompromising origins of one of Europe’s most provocative and influential groups.
