CABARET VOLTAIRE - The Crackdown LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition silver/grey colour vinyl.

Highly recommended.

In the early 80's, when Industrial music meant a lot more than loud guitars with a beat, Cabaret Voltaire were considered one of the innovators and groundbreakers of the then exciting music form. They were certainly in the same artistic level as Throbbing Gristle and any 80's industrial fan would have known and owned this music.

This particular brand of industrial music went on to directly influence such bands as Ministry ("Twitch"), Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy as well as many others. In this music, the sound is dark and bleak, political sensibilities and paranoia abound, the individual is lost and there is no redemption; certainly alienation at it's finest.

Not the stuff for pop radio.
