  Cabaret Voltaire (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cabaret Voltaire was a British music group from Sheffield, England.
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, where Kirk says he is working on new CV material due to be released soon.

 Voltaire (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voltaire (Born January 25, 1967, Havana, Cuba), is a novelty musician in the goth scene who takes his stage name from the pen name of the famous French Enlightenment writer François-Marie Arouet.
At the age of ten, Voltaire was inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), and began animating on a super 8 camera.
Voltaire describes his own music as- 'Music for a parallel universe where electricity was never invented and Morrissey is the queen of England.' He claims that bands and artists who influenced his music are- Rasputina, Morrissey, Tom Waits, Cab Calloway, and Danny Elfman.

 Cabaret Voltaire
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 suddenly found themselves strangers in a strange land they had originally helped uncover, and their reputation suffered accordingly.
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.

The communications company Double Vision was founded by Cabaret Voltaire and Paul Smith in 1982, initially as a vehicle for this particular release but also with a view to releasing affordable music based video for a fraction of the price.
Cabaret Voltaire's rare but much anticipated live performances, with their innovative use of film and video, were documented on the three live albums, "Live at the YMCA" (1979), "Live at the Lyceum" (1981) and "HAI" live in Japan (1982), and the 90 minute video "Doublevision presents...

 Cabaret Voltaire - Plasticity
I've not been particularly taken with Cabaret Voltaire's recent output - the last album of theirs that I'd admit to actually having enthused about was Code back in 1986.
gives a strong hint that this album is something a little different from their recent output as quiet rhythmic synth effects accompany a recording of US gang members explaining a wide range of their slang.
Add an attractive melody and a decent beat and the end result is my favourite Cabaret Voltaire track in quite a while.

 Cabaret Voltaire -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
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.

 Cabaret Voltaire - Radiation
I'm not going to go into individual track-by-track details, since this is very much a disc for those who're already Cabaret Voltaire fans and want to hear alternate versions of familiar tracks (and an otherwise unavailable rarity or two).
None of the tracks are any the worse for the bare-bones approach either, with all retaining their identity, and the more basic electronics and increased use of guitar (Kirk) and bass (Mallinder) giving the material a subtly different flavour.
It goes without saying that this disc is a must-have for the serious Cabaret Voltaire fan, especially those who've grown rather disenchanted with the Kirk-dominated CV of recent years.

Richard H Kirk's latest album is one of those that leave you taking shelter behind the settee as machine-gun fire strafes the living room and the bombs drop closer and closer to home.
Richard, as a member of Cabaret Voltaire, was right at the heart of all that and 'Darkness At Noon' (Touch) is probably the closest he has come to the dark, ground-breaking, anarchistic early days of the Cabs and recordings such as 'Baader Meinhof' and 'Silent Command'.
Formerly one half of Sheffield industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire, Kirk is in a typically uncompromising mood -- transfixing those brave enough to stand the breakbeat, noise and synchronised visual overload with a new music that purges and exorcises as much as it stimulates the central nervous system.

After albums of varying degrees of listenability, Kirk and Mallinder began to incorporate New York dance rhythms into their songs with a corresponding increase in public appreciation.

Cabaret Voltaire was formed by Stephen Mallinder (bass, vocals), Richard H. Kirk (guitar, wind instruments) and Chris Watson (electronics and tapes).
A new Cabaret Voltaire single, "Hypnotised" (1989), reflected their visit to the house music capital, Chicago, while Kirk's highly influential single "Testone" (1990), issued under the guise of Sweet Exorcist (with DJ Parrot, later of the All Seeing I), was pure techno.
Cabaret Voltaire continued in this style with "Keep On" and Groovy, Laidback And Nasty, working with some of the leading lights of the US house and techno scene.

The prolific Cabaret Voltaire is one of the most energetic, progressive and dissonant forces in modern music.
Working primarily in the electronic form, specializing in found sounds and tape manipulations, Cabaret Voltaire has relentlessly pushed at the outer edges of style, shedding an early primitivism for a subsequent accessibility that plays on the (almost) familiar.
Extended Play launched Cabaret Voltaire — Richard H. Kirk (guitar, synth, horns, clarinet), Stephen Mallinder (bass, vocals) and Christopher Watson (organ, tapes) — and gave an early boost to Rough Trade (it was the label's third single).

Indeed, some of the keyboards sound like they were directly lifted off an old Cabaret Voltaire album, or in the case of "Frogerbib," maybe off Kraftwerk's The Man Machine.
Especially compared to the contents of his lacklustre 1995 album I Care Because You Do, James' new songs (save for a couple of freakish vocal tracks toward the end) don't seem as if they're trying so hard to be irritating and difficult.

The album reflects both aspects, and lays the basic structures in compositions, arrangements and production that Depeche Mode would follow in their next efforts that led them to stardom.
Though it is hinted at airplay as much as the previous album's opener "Love in itself", it is arranged in a mechanized, almost industrial style, with effects and aggressive lines from the synth and sequencers.
To sum it up, SOME GREAT REWARD is a great album where all tendencies of the DM catalog fall together to form a new style, with its own distinctive personality clearly showing its teeth, and benefiting from it.

It's now almost unthinkable that in the mid-'70s, when hair was feathered, bottoms were belled, and disco and classic rock ruled the airwaves, three gaunt young men were sequestered in an attic in Sheffield, England, grinding out unorthodox sounds with reel-to-reel machines and primitive noisemakers.
By the third album, Red Mecca, Cabaret Voltaire's experiments became more focused, stripping away the excess flesh to reveal muscular rhythms.
The record swings from "A Touch of Evil," a dissonant mash-up of synthesizers and bongo drums, to the funky slap bass of "Sly Doubt," a track as funky as anything Cabaret Voltaire recorded.

Cabaret Voltaire made some of the most original and uncompromising electronic music of the 70's and 80's.
While this would become a template for many other bands to follow to commercial success in the early 80's, Cabaret Voltaire's music was not so easily translated into profit.
Albums like The Crackdown, Micro-Phonies and Code were full of edgy, paranoid, sometimes downright disturbing soundscapes - set to dancebeats as infectious as any you'd find on a Depeche Mode or Human League album of the time.

The band recorded albums worth of songs to act as a demo for agents back in the UK where there was a big interest in Daevid and his musical ventures.
The Berlin Contemporary Jazz Orchestra (heard previously on albums on ECM and FMP) is one of the most adventurous and creative jazz ensembles in the world, led by two pillars of post-Monk, post-Cecil Taylor piano: Aki Takase (Enja recording artist) and Alexander von Schlippenbach, an astounding pianist and founder of the groundbreaking Globe Unity Orchestra.
This 1992 album was David's second for DIW and is an extraordinary display of David's wild and wooly ways - a rousing and exciting trip on the saxophone with his own exploratory tunes plus some far out takes on the standards Autumn Leaves (he plays this one twice!) and Angel Eyes.

On a Cabaret Voltaire album, you begin not knowing where you are or where you’re being taken, and though you do feel yourself going somewhere, by the end you’re no clearer about your position than you were at the beginning.
Hearing them do this in vivo raises goosebumps, and to have an album whose creators had the restraint to just leave well enough alone and let the performance speak for itself -- well, it means something.
It means that a “good live album” isn’t an oxymoron and is in fact an excitingly real possibility.

In their day the pioneering members of the UK's highly innovative Cabaret Voltaire helped form a whole new way of going about creating music.
This album was recorded at Western Works, the very same studio that housed the creation of every Cabaret Voltaire album I can remember.
This reflects how even though the music has evolved a lot since the early Cab days, the same environment that fostered the creativity and originality of that music is still a mainstay in Kirk's current work.

Later albums like "Plasticity", "The Conversation" and "International Language" are much different than the early periord CV, as well as the middle period "dance" oriented CV.
A couple of tunes were on 12", but they were either totally unique to that format or identical to the 7" or LP versions.
I believe the only things left are the 12" mix of 'Yashar' (Crepuscule sadly duplicated the album version on the 'Eight Tracks' CD) and the 'Empty Walls' b-side, which has been left by the wayside, presumably forogotten like a cold, frightened puppy waiting for its master to return and lavish affection upon it.
