Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut solo release from Cabaret Voltaire co-founder Richard H. Kirk is a defining document of the early Sheffield industrial movement. Initially released on cassette, the album utilizes primitive synthesizers, tape loops, and abrasive sound collage techniques to construct a cold, paranoid, and abstract sonic environment. It represents the unfiltered, experimental core of early British industrial music.
