Cabaret Voltaire

I really like some of the post code pre ambient club tracks that really just sound like solo sandoz sweet exorcist Kirk tracks with the occasional interjection from Mal saying something like “Colours…colors”

Cabaret Voltaire's Postcode: NG7 7EW

dont get me wrong, i absolutely love RHK 'solo' stuff.
but for some reason i gave up re CV after 'The Conversation'.
suspect it was mainly due to the scarcity of finding the cd editions, and now they are £££.

i did manage to find this in the bins once though, which is basically an album and includes his SE cohort Parrot :

Here's the mix with the sample:

ah! memory mix-up!

by the way noted poster JCLC posted this amazing Crackdown-era Dutch radio set on FB:

the only ones after that are the modern albums, are those actually OOP? I see them on vinyl all the time

(those albuums don't do a whole lot for me, I think I gave shadow of fear and dekadrone each one listen)

― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm)

ooops. i got the chronology incorrect.

i missed out on 'body and soul', 'plasticity', and 'international language' as i never saw them out in the real world, but i did pick up 'the conversation'.

as for the recent albums, i really loved 'shadow of fear', and the 'shadow of funk' ep.
i got the two drone albums of course, but its not often i'm in the mood for them.
actually the best CV like release for me by RHK, was his last 'solo' album, Dasein.

Mallinder's recent solo album (not Wrangler) is really excellent.

Dasein is great.

Am i correct in thinking those early 90s albums (which are not that compelling) are more or less Kirk solo albums? If so, was there some falling out between Mallinder and Kirk?

i think Plasticity is pretty good but does feel more like a RHK solo album, despite some Mallinder involvement.

suspect i would love all of the RHK/CV releases now given how much i have succumbed to the RHK solo thing.
also, there are the 2 CV releases that seem to have been forgotten about.
once RHK had the name, he made 2 remix albums using the CV brand.
tDR did the art, and amrik 'fon records' rai sorted out the logistics.
personally, i love both remix albums as they definitely have the CV sound via the juddering synths.
