What am I even listening to.. by Zrcalo

So I took a leap of faith and bought two albums from a band I have never heard of, on a whim.

I picked them up because at first I thought they were laibach. Then I looked at them and they said "mussolini headkick" So I thought of cabaret voltaire's "mussolini (headkick)". It was by wax trax, how bad could it be?

It sounds like a mixture of snog and later cabaret voltaire, and not in a good way. Just kinda in a "lets capitalize on this style" way. It was like I bought the wrong album.

It's not bad bad, mind you. It's just... not good. Who knows, maybe someone else will like this band.

oh.

and they try to pull a nitzer ebb

and rap to industrial music.
really badly.

I just... no.

maybe I'll listen to the other one..

THE FIRST SONG ISNT BAD. BUT GOD. IT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER IF I JUST GOT THE INDIVIDUAL TRACK ON ITUNES. For an album it just makes me want to listen to snog or nitzer ebb.

There is much to be wanted, particularly in individualism and bad lyrics.

What am I even listening to..

    I'm quickly skimming their discography on Deezer and plugging into things.
    But it just sounds like this mix of Classic Music with Pop & Industrial mix together. It just sounds really diluted.
    Some of it sounds like 80s Vintage and Kraftwerk. I think I can see myself listening more to Nova Akropola but I'd be frequently reaching for the EQ Dials.

      My favourite laibach album is Volk. It's different countries' national anthems reflecting the state that they are in now, and how their history has affected them.
      Each laibach album is completely different from the other.
      A good starting song is tanz mit laibach.

      But yeah, mussolini headkick is just kinda like a cheap ripoff...
