Visija

Liner notes are in Serbian and English. <i>"This cassette contains a selection of folk hymns which were created in Visija, at the time of the first vertical expansion, circa 1920. Hymns were an important element of the spiritual landscape of this highly technological civilization, given that musical devices were integrated into all technical facilities of Visija: factory chimneys thundered like mighty organs, accompanied by ceaseless arias of factory sirens. Tones from myriads of electric machines pierced the aural ambience, and rails and pipes of all steam engines were forged to ring in major scale, which suited the epic spirit of this tireless nation."</i> track titles: <i>A1.
