Album Notes
Cararet Voltaire: Stephen Mallinder (vocals, bass); Richard H. Kirk (electric guitar, electric violin, saxophone, synthesizer, sequencing, programming).
Producers include: John Sparrow, Dale Griffin, Barry Andrews.
Engineers include: Martyn Parker, Mike Engles, Nick Gromm.
The most peculiar thing about Cabaret Voltaire was that the band, so reliant on electronics and tapes, actually thrived in live settings. Whereas most electronic acts never leave the studio, Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder released nearly as many live albums as they did studio recordings, using the stage as a forum to expand and pervert ideas touched on in the less chaotic studio crucible. It therefore follows that Cabaret Voltaire's BBC RECORDINGS, made for such programs as the John Peel Show, share little more than titles and a few basic building blocks with the band's studio tracks.
Of the 13 tracks, only "Sensoria" bears much resemblance to its studio-created doppelganger. And a slashing run through "Sex Money Freaks" is considerably more disturbing than the comparatively placid original. Recorded during the most artistically successful era of Cabaret Voltaire's long career, The BBC RECORDINGS is a worthy archival release.
