To mark the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Laibach and Mute present the Laibach 40 vinyl and CD box sets. Originally released in 1985 without the band’s name – banned at the time in Slovenia and Yugoslavia – and with Tito’s speeches censored by a shrill bleep, this legendary debut now appears in a fully remastered facsimile edition, bearing its originally intended name for the first time: Nebo žari / The Sky is Glowing.
The box set also includes historic recordings from Laibach’s early years. Ljubljana – Zagreb – Beograd (2025 Remaster) captures their first concerts across Yugoslavia in 1982, including tracks from early rehearsals held in a practice space wedged between a mortuary, dissection room, and madhouse. M.B. December 21, 1984 (2025 Remaster) documents a legendary semi-legal Ljubljana concert, appearing on vinyl for the first time. We Forge the Future (Live at the Cukrarna Gallery 2025) presents a unique recent performance with historical members, recreating the infamous 1983 Zagreb Biennale concert, exclusive to this box set.
Housed in a specially designed box that enhances the original sleeve, the collection also features a booklet with archival photographs and brand-new, exclusively commissioned essays, and a DVD film, Laibach: Music is the Art of Time, documenting the debut album with an 8-page booklet and subtitles in six languages [DE, EN, ES, FR, JP, SL].
With Laibach 40, Mute celebrates the uncompromising beginnings of one of Europe’s most enigmatic, provocative and influential music adventure through time and space.
