 | | As the '80s rolled around, Cabaret Voltaire began to flesh out the harsh electro-industrial minimalism that had characterized their previous releases. |
 | | By the time of this performance, the band's tape and noise manipulator, Chris Watson, had left to form the Hafler Trio, and Alan Fish, who had contributed to 2 x 45, had been enlisted by Stephen Mallinder and Richard H. Kirk to provide live drums and percussion. |
 | | In the early days, melody had not been particularly high on Cabaret Voltaire's sonic agenda, as the band focused on sparse rhythms and dark, abrasive montages that featured loops and samples of found sounds. |
