Borghesia returns with new album, releases '20th Century Selected Works' anthology 2CD set

The legendary industrial act Borghesia from Slovenia will release a complete new album later this year. But before that, the band will release a double anthoogy CD including the band's best work. Entitled "20th Century Selected Works", the double CD set has been compiled and remastered by Borghesia's Aldo Ivanovic and will be released by FV Music in Slovenia in a distribution by Dallas Records. In further Borghesia news, Dario Seraval will be releasing a solo project around the music made for the theatre play by Dragan Zivadinov, Zivadinov being one of the founding members of NSK aka Neue Slowenische Kunst. And the San Francisco based label Dark Entries will be re-releasing "Ljubav je hladnija od smrti" on vinyl.

Borghesia was created in Ljubljana in 1982. The band was formed by members of the alternative theatre group Theatre FV-112/15 and created its aesthetics using the imagery of prohibited, tabooed and repressed subjects. Their sound is often compared to that of other groups in the period such as D.A.F., Manufacture and more notably Front 242. They released four albums on Play It Again Sam and were licensed to Wax Trax in the USA and Canada. Aldo Ivancic later formed the band Bast, and is famous in the Slovenian music scene today as a producer. Borghesia together with Laibach were prominent representatives of Slovenian alternative pop music, and topped the bill on the compilation albums "Trans Slovenia Express", released on Mute Records.
