They were, along with [[Laibach]], the most eminent representatives of the Slovene alternative scene of the 1980s. Always a bit more recognised abroad than in Slovenia, the band created their own, globally recognized style of EBM that was strongly knit together with their multimedia projects. The group's aesthetics – lyrics, visual performance, video production – used the imagery and themes of surveillance, prohibition, erotics, sexual taboos, and repression, often using early sampling and cut-n-paste techniques. Their inspiration drew equally from their contemporaries Chris & Cosey, Cabaret Voltaire, Art of Noise and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. |

The first dozen years of Borghesia
The band has its roots in the alternative theatre groups Theatre FV-112/15 and Teater Performans, and was founded upon the idea of merging the concepts of theatre and disco. Aldo Ivančič played the drums at that time (later, he focused more on samplers and synths) and was joined by a rock cast with Dario Seraval on the guitar. Of the other proto-members, the most prominent one was Iztok Turk, who later worked with Otroci Socializma, Rotor, Videosex, Laibach and who was also an important figure in the early techno scene.
In the dozen years that followed, the only consistent member of the band was Ivančič, who was joined by visual artists Neven Korda and Zemira Alajbegović and by a long list of notable musicians that all left a significant mark on the Slovenian music scene – Primož Simončič, Lado Jakša and Mirsad Šabić of Lolita, Borut Kržišnik, Bratko Bibič, Nikola Sekulović of Dan D and Demolition Group, Boris Romih from Begnagrad in Miladojke Youneed and the rapper and turntablist Ali En being just a few of them.
The band has fast gotten very significant international presence and released a number of albums, singles, remixes and VHS video tapes. Four of their albums were published by the renowned Belgian label Play It Again Sam Records (and later also for FV Music). The band went on several European tours in from 1988 to 1991 and were praised by a number of important international music magazines.
