Cabaret Voltaire unplugged
05/12/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This collection of recordings are a snapshot of Cabaret Voltaire during the slightly more accessible period of the mid eighties (84-86). Having signed a recording contract with Some Bizzare/Virgin Records, after the more experimental years with Rough Trade, saw the material become more vocal based and dance oriented. The recordings are unique in so much as they were made in the BBCs studios with in-house producers and engineers, rather than the usual self-produced material out of Western Works studios. Almost Cabaret Voltaire unplugged, with a minimum of overdubs or studio trickery. Augmented by Mark Tattersal on drums and percussion. Those who enjoyed the digital funk of "Microphonies" and the dub electronics of "Code" will not be disappointed."BBC Recording 84-86", "Radiation Pilot 39" and "Sex, Money, Freaks" all refer to the same release."
