CD Reviews

Like partying with dear old friends you've never met before

Irony Value | BAYOU | 02/03/2005

"If you like the Virgin/Some Bizarre "caucasian funk" era of CabVol, you're intimately familiar with these songs, but almost certainly not with most of the versions presented here. And yes, they are more than different enough to be engrossing and fun even if you've heard the albums a thousand times. It's also a nice best of from this era for the uninitiated or those familiar with the material but who only feel they need the "singles" of this era. In the absence of reissues of CODE and The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, this also forms a good stopgap.

This is truly a multipurpose CabVol CD, and one even a casual fan will find delightful. It deserves a 4.5, but that option is not offered. Buy it and try not to pee yourself laughing when you hear the version of Don't Argue they included..."

This is all that you could ask for in a compilation of their

"In the years that this compilation covers, Cabaret Voltaire was a maintstay on the alternative radio station in my hometown, playing just their 12 inch mixes. So, the great thing about this compilation, is that these are the full 12 inch mixes of their songs at that time, and in my opinion, the 12 inch mixes were their best efforts. If you're looking for a collection of their 12 inch mixes on CD, this is it. I commend the record company for putting all of these terrific mixes on one compilation. Cab Voltaire were pioneers of industrial dance back in the early 80's. Their music was usually powered by a driving beat and various electrics, incorporating elements of funk, and punk. Sensoria was incredibly popular in the alternative dance scene at the time and that 12 inch was generally in high demand and hard to find back in the early 80's. A highly recommended addition for those looking for a cd copy of their old vinyl 12 inch mixes. And for those who are just getting into this genre, check this out."
