Dec 21, 2018There's a couple of additions to the soundtrack in the shape of Korean folk standards "Arirang" and "The Sound of Gayageum" along with an address from the North Korean minister for Cultural Relations tagged onto the end.

Nov 26, 2018Gloriously silly it may be, but this album is as bright as that favourite copper kettle.
-
Nov 20, 2018Of course half the fun is in hearing how the band have transformed oh-so-familiar songs into something quite different, and transform them they truly have.

Nov 29, 2018Truly an artifact of an artistically authentic, cold war-era radical sensibility which predates today's insipid art movements, the album is one of those which will make you think more than it'll make you dance. In this day and age, that's certainly something we could all use more of.

The WireNov 21, 2018This record has its moments, for instance the squarewave basslines and breakbeats of “Edelweiss” and the outro to “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”. However, as is often the case with Laibach, the pervasive air of calculated irony prevents the album from passing from the ridiculous to the sublime, even when it all gets so silly that on paper it sounds like it should. [Dec 2018, p.52]
