All music and lyrics by Laibach, except:
"Hostnik" music by Kraftwerk ("Ohm Sweet Ohm"), lyrics by Tomaž Hostnik

"Germania" arranged by Graeme Revell
"Herzfeld" is probably named after German satirist John Heartfield, b. Helmut Herzfeld, upon whose photomontages Laibach have based some of their images.
The pieces "Koža", "Jägerspiel", "Herzfeld" and "Krst" are also found as bonus tracks on the Opus Dei CD.
