  Cabaret Voltaire (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cabaret Voltaire is a post-punk industrial and techno group from Sheffield, England consisting of Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk and Chris Watson.
A series of completely instrumental works under the Cabaret Voltaire name were released on Instinct Records in 1993 and 1994, but appeared to be largely the product of Kirk.
Hopes of a Cabaret Voltaire reunion were raised when Kirk dropped hints in the late 90s, the most significant being in the notes of a reissue of 'Radiation', a selection of stripped back Radio 1 sessions, where Kirk says he is working on new CV material due to be released soon.

In 1982, Cabaret Voltaire began to mutate from the hardcore Industrial noise of their early years into a new phase of electronic body music inspired by proto-sampling technology and a tradeoff with the emergent beats of Chicago House.
Cabaret Voltaire had successfully exploited the faultlines opening up in musical form due to the increasing availability of cheap electronic keyboards, rhythm machines and processors, but it was difficult to grasp what that achievement entailed.
Similarly Cabaret Voltaire constructed songs that were no more about any one subject than a night spent channel-hopping on TV, tuning through the shortwave radio dial or watching a sequence of advertising hoardings from the window of a speeding car could ever be.

For a name, they chose the somewhat suspicious-sounding epithet "Cabaret Voltaire." They asked Hans Arp, Marcel Janco and Tristan Tzara, members of their circle, to collaborate, and the cabaret was opened on February 5th, 1916.
In his introduction, Ball wrote these programmatic words: "When I founded the Cabaret Voltaire, I was of the opinion that there ought to be a few young people in Switzerland who not only laid stress, as I did, on enjoying their independence, but also wished to proclaim it.
It is to exemplify the activities and the interests of the cabaret, whose whole endeavour is directed at reminding the world, across the war and various fatherlands, of those few independent spirits that live for other ideals.

 Cabaret Voltaire: The Original Sound of Sheffield '78-'82: The Best of Cabaret Voltaire: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
That's it for a refresher on the work of the oft-unheralded Cabaret Voltaire; it's not the place of this review to dwell on congratulatory back-patting or debate this band's place in the pantheon of music's heroes.
The shame of it is that on some level, the home-movie-esque documentation of Cabaret Voltaire's "gestation period"-- a number of singles, as well as samples from the first two full-lengths, Mix-Up and The Voice of America-- just can't present the best possible album.
At the very least, the collection presents an astonishing succession of advances; Cabaret Voltaire's music was truly "built from nothing" and that has rarely been as evident as it is here.

While they’ve followed a certain set path throughout their career, Cabaret Voltaire’s work can yet be divided into two periods: an early, formative series of recordings which still employ "traditional" rock instrumentation and that make a radical use of dissonance and noise.
The seven tracks on this album-length set are not only the most dance-conscious yet from Cabaret Voltaire, they are also those in which signs of life have been most completely eradicated.
Obviously, as such, Cabaret Voltaire will have limited appeal to those anxiously in pursuit of a traditional rock forever linked to the cult of personality, i.e.

 Queer in Your Ear 15
We can assign half the blame for a certain now-omnipresent genre of contemporary typography to Cabaret Voltaire, in that in 1979 they engaged the British graphic designer Neville Brody to produce many of their album covers, posters, and (most touchingly today) the labels surrounding the spindles on their records.
If Cabaret Voltaire hadn't hired him, Brody might be a mere footnote to graphical history now and contemporary designers would have had to come up with their own designs instead of using Brody's œuvre as a form of auxiliary brain.
Anyway, count me in as one of the Cabaret Voltaire faithful, though my new passion for this old band makes me think of the legions of 19-year-olds who are only now discovering the Smiths and scurrying onstage at every Morrissey concert.

And while John Peel may be the name behind most of the BBC sessions, Janice Long also presented the group and the two DJs collectively amassed an enormous archive of recordings of Cabaret Voltaire of which, apparently, this compilation merely scratches the surface.
Cabaret Voltaire's classics from the mid-'80s period, such as "Sensoria," are outstandingly performed here as compared to the album version, stripped down to a barebones, minimalist approach that leader Richard H. Kirk describes as "Cabaret Voltaire unplugged" in his liner notes.
The BBC sessions also presented three tracks that never appeared elsewhere in the Cabaret Voltaire discography, including "Ruthless," which one could guess is from the same period as the Micro-Phonies album, and "You Like to Torment Me," which is certainly a blueprint for the sound explored on Code circa 1986.

Founded by the German poet Hugo Ball and his companion, singer Emmy Hennings, Cabaret Voltaire soon attracted artists and writers from across Europe who fled their countries and went to neutral Zurich to escape the war.[2] Ball's cabaret provided ideal conditions for artistic freedom and experimentation and an atmosphere that supported the fomenting of revolt.

If there are two names that have influenced the direction of modern dance industrial (and modern techno/dance in general) Kraftwerk and Cabaret Voltaire must occupy the top two positions in many people's lists.
Much of it is due to the slightly different styles of music - Cabaret Voltaire were always much more reliant of rhythm than melody, whereas Kraftwerk's music was equally strong in both departments.
It should go down well with those who like Cabaret Voltaire's more recent output, or with the dance crowd in general (well, that part of it that doesn't follow the faster = better ethos, anyway).

Like such contemporaries as Throbbing Gristle and Fad Gadget, Cabaret Voltaire's early work bears little resemblance to the 21st century standard of electronic music; we're talking ultra-primitive gear, cumbersome tape-loops and a production aesthetic that was equal parts punk's DIY determination and dub's shoestring innovation.
