Ohne Dich (Mina Harker's Version) Remix by Laibach
The third single from Rammstein's Reise Reise album. Laibach collaborating with Rammstein was certainly an intriguing idea. For this small project Laibach had remixed Ohne Dich one of the best tracks from the album. It is radically reworked replacing Till with the female vocalist Mina (Harker) Spiler with additional vocals from Milan Fras. Mina is a vocalist with the Slovene group Melodrom, she has a pleasant voice but essentially it allows Milan to fit in otherwise he and Till would have cancelled each other out. Also present is Laibach's trademark techno percussions. In the end it's a great version of the song and goes much further than usual remixes.

Putokazi - Play, Rew, F Fwd
Milan Fras is a guest vocalist on this Putokazi track from their album Androida. The album also features contribution from the long time Laibach collaborator Iztok Turk. The favour was returned when the group supplied the females voice for the Mama Leone track on Laibach Anthems.

Umek - Neuropa Humbug
Umek, one of Europe's top DJs was heavily involved with Laibach's WAT album, around the same time he was working on his own project for the Tehnika Label. This resulted in the electronic instrumental album 'Neuro' and it also featured the bonus track Neuropa Humbug where Laibach and Umek combined to produce. On the album sleeve Laibach are not credited by name. It's the only song on the album that features any singing, with Milan's voice instantly recognisable. The lyrics later featured on the Laibach song Anti-Semitism. It was seized by many as some sort taster for the long awaited Laibach album though would not have given much clues other than its hard techno style.

Hedone - Zapach
Laibach oversaw two remixes for the Polish band Hedone. Their track Zapach features guest vocalist Renata Przemyk, a popular singer from Poland, it also appears on her album 'Hormon'. In 1998 Laibach supervised the Germania Mix and the April Nine Shapeshifter Mix.
