 Opinions and other informations:

    

I've got the record taped, but I think it was recorded by "Chapa Records". It had a bautifull cover, in the Iceberg style. The band was from catalonia and the name came from the "Borne Market" of Barcelona. Their style was similar to Dharma"La Dharma" but less "cobla" and a heavier sound, whith a fantastic rhythmic work, very advanced for that time. Luis Martinez Cespedes


Watch it! In their second album they left the progressive style to play more in a funky style. (Diego Herrera)


Borne were a band with more richness live than in studio (very common circumstance for the bands of that time). They had a good instrumental dexterity, with well composed and arranged themes, where melody and arrangements were more important than solos (just the opposite to Iceberg). For me, the most iimportant influence for them was Chick Corea and its Return to Forever, then (for their second album) it was evident that they heard Police a lot. The "funky" element was always present in their music. (Jesús Catalán)
