As Cabaret Voltaire’s two surviving members, Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson, who has been absent from the band for decades, are performing together for the first time in years, I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce readers to the band’s earliest works. These recordings come from a time before their jitter-funk electro phase, nearly bringing them into the mainstream. They highlight the band in their rawest and most abrasive form, blending Dada-influenced artistry with the gritty sounds of 1970s Sheffield.
