That Was Entertainment

 

Cabaret Voltaire ‎- The Voice Of America [ROUGH 11 UK 1980 24-Bit FLAC]

Here is a rip of my original UK pressing of Cabaret Voltaire's uncompromising second album. I was checking Cabs posts across my blogging history and realised that I had never attempted a rip before, well until now. Self-recorded and self-produced at their own Western Works studio, Voice Of America is a dark sampled examination of the world on the other side of the Atlantic ..from these Sheffield industrial music pioneers' perspective of course. Stay Out If It gets a special mention as it is the least electronic track in the band's entire repertoire: untreated guitar, vocals and bass; live drums; and what sounds like a Contempi organ.

I am sure this now makes it ten from ten rips of the most important Cabaret Voltaire albums on Needle Time.
