"Pretty similar" is an understatement--The "Live 85 Tour" album, or whatever
it is called, *is* a live recording of every cut from the Nova Akropola
album--you are listening to a recording of a recording.  There are no extra
songs, just some minor additional vocals and drums.  Get Nova Akropola and
ignore the live album, despite what Option says.

The Laibach 12" is good, spooky, less polished material similar to N.A.
worth while if you like N.A.

Also excellent are their other LP's, "Hope" and "Preparing for Power."


Today I picked up Controlled Bleeding's new LP, "Headcrack" on Sterile
Records.  This is a *great* meld of industrial noise with yuppy meditative
"jazz"--so call it Yuppy Noise, of the highest quality.  Similar to
a'Gruhm...'s Rebearth LP with more machinery and equally good melodic work
(but with noise underneath).
