[comp.sys.atari.st] A band using an ST for music. Borghesia.

I just found another group who use Atari STs to sequence their work.
They are from Yugoslavia and call themselves Borghesia (as far as I
can tell, there is more than one person in the group).  I found the
records in the used record bins, and since the LPs were only $4, I
figured they were worth that much for novelty alone.

Borghesia is another one of the Eastern European Industrial-Noise-Dance
combos.  I don't know much about the genre, but I thought the two albums
were pretty boring.  They weren't as poppy as Ministry or Sisters of
Mercy, but they weren't as edgy as Tackhead or Negativeland.  I bet you 
could slip Borghesia on between two industrial bands' performances, and
no one would notice.  But like I said, I don't know much about industrial 
music. The cover art on one was done on an ST, and it is pretty good.  The 
inner sleeve on the other is a collage incorporating some screen dumps 
of ST screens.

Don't plan to sing along to most of the songs if you don't know Yugoslavian.

They used a 1040 ST, and Steinberg software.

The label is:
