This compilation gathers 45 minutes of concerts and interviews of international bands such as Swans, Cassandra Complex, Poison Girls, U.K.Subs, Misty in Roots, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, G.B.H. and finally Laibach. Established in the early eighties, ŠKUC – Ropot was the music section of ŠKUC. It was the main concerts organizer in Ljubljana, and former Yugoslavia until the nineties for local and international bands as seen in the video. Alternating bands of recorded concerts and interviews with bands, the method used consists in saturated colours keying and recurrent zooming, freeze frame, overlaying video shots as transition between different sequences. At the beginning of the video, an interesting interview from the members of Cassandra Complex on new musical production practices, including keyboards and computers apparition in the late eighties. Later, an interview with the front girl of Poison girls on the fate and planned obsolescence bands carrying socio-political messages, especially British women’s bands.Archive video here; http://www.e-arhiv.org/diva/index.php?opt=work&id=426
