With so many new bands trying to make a name for themselves in Edinburgh just now Last Minute Glory are sticking their heads above the rest with their debut EP 'Take Time'. It's a light and airy Scots poptastic a la View, so to show they're ready to make a name for themselves they set up an EP launch party in Cabaret Voltaire and Ralph's man in Scotland Malcolm Parry was there to catch the show. [...]
How is your weekend going, valued reader? I'd hoped for quiet time spent writing a new short story I've been trying to sort out in my head, but an opportunity to go out on the town presented itself last night and I could not refuse. Poor Ben was supposed to go on a date but [...]
Recorded in 1987. Taken from the brilliant 2xCD compilation Earlier / Later - Unreleased Projects Anthology 74-89 . The track is only about one minute long but damn you, RHK... it owns so hard.
Ralph's always got one ear to the ground when it comes to up and coming young bands, especially from Scotland. So when the word on the street was that The Dons were doing a gig he sent his intrepid reporter Malcolm 'Anorak' Parry along to review and have a chat with the band. [...]
I've been battling a head cold all weekend. It sure does suck! Of course, lest you think I would deprive you of a Sunday Mix Tape, here I am to help alleviate those fears. RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or [...]
This week is shaping up to be a good one for fans of industrial music — apart from the much-heralded return of Nine Inch Nails, which we reported this morning , there's also a new album by '80s industrial veterans KMFDM, the latest in a decade-long purple patch that followed their brief breakup and reformation under the moniker MDFMK. As a genre, industrial is rather known for its stony-faced seriousness, but occasionally its progenitors can be found cracking a smiling or even looking, y'know, happy . And so, to celebrate a week of good news, we thought we'd [...]

Jono Podmore (Cyclopean, Kumo, Metamono and Can archivist) remembers and revels in the brutal but innovative ‘post-punk industrial’ soundscapes of Cabaret Voltaire’s 1980 Rough Trade milestone.
![[Audio] Billie Ray Martin covers Cabaret Voltaire](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4785879_lg.jpg)
Back in January 2010 we wrote about Billie Ray Martin ’s Cabaret Voltaire cover versions, which was pretty exciting for us as we’re big Billie Ray fans, and The Cabs are one of our favourite acts of all time, and have been for as long as we can remember. Now the whole collection of reMixes of Billie’s versions of Crackdown and Just Fascination , two of our very favourite Cabs songs, are being released under the title The Crackdown Project. Out next month on digital and deluxe double CD digipack, [...]
Ah, Sunday. One of my least favorite days of the week. Why, you ask? Well, not only because I have to work every Sunday from now until I get my life together and find a real job, but also because no one else I know works on Sundays and the prospect of returning to work [...]
El día de hoy comienza una nueva serie de entregas semanales dedicadas a la recopilación de información referente a la historia de la música electrónica: DATA . Desde los artistas que marcaron un estilo, lugares icónicos, hasta piezas de culto sobre la cultura de los sintetizadores. No hay un orden específico a seguir, simplemente se trata de compartir algunos de los momentos memorables dentro de esta historia. (Hacienda: Casa de algunos de las primeras fiestas rave en Inglaterra) Asi que comencemos por remontarnos a los [...]
Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: Two of our favourite tracks this week, starting with the mighty Cabaret Voltaire and 1983’s Just Fascination . And Renegades Of Funk!, also from 1983, one of Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force best. You can buy most of this music from: [...]
• Remember Skee-Lo? He wrote that song "I Wish" and is probably retired now. Well, guess what? Sometimes being 5'43 and alive is better than being 7'23, 400 pounds and dead. That's the fate which befell (is that proper English!? It sure doesn't seem like it!) a Las Vegas resident who suffered from a rare disorder [...]
Oh my god. You guys. How come I didn't know about Cabaret Voltaire's "Seconds Too Late" until THIS WEEK? You're supposed to make sure I'm hipped to this shit right when it happens, not thirty years later. Although this single came out three years before I was born, so I guess I can't be held [...]

Uno no se imagina tan fácil a un belga risueño, y mucho menos poniendo caritas felices al responder alguna pregunta. Por fortuna, Patrick de Front 242 es de lo más agradable. Platicamos con él con motivo de su próxima visita a la Ciudad de México este viernes 30 de noviembre en La Capilla, y con todo el buen ánimo del mundo contestó el inescapable 13 . ¿Qué tipo de música escuchaban tus papás? [...]
Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: First up, one of our favourite bands of all time, Cabaret Voltaire with 1985’s Big Funk From 1987, first wave of UK House from T-Coy ’s Cariño. Some proto-space Disco, SynthPop Funk, from Fashion ’s 1981 hit Move On. [...]
Barcelona may stand tall upon the muscular main legs of two of the globe's finest festivals in Sónar and Primavera Sound , although it has always struck me as a city used and thoroughly abused each and every summer by the discerning, dissonance-seeking Brit. Of course the Cataluñan capital brings the headiest of hedonism upon itself, as it splays its arms wide open to anything illicit and everything ill-advised. Its climate, too, is ideal for cleansing intensely in Estrella, and the Med, and all formats musical. However if you spent much of your last sojourn stupefied – [...]
7" Single, released in 1983 Cabaret Voltaire - Just Fascination (A-Side) Cabaret Voltaire - Empty Walls (B-Side)
Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: Up first today, the mighty Cabaret Voltaire with 1980’ ‘Nag Nag Nag’, laying foundation for all electronic music that came after it. Late ‘80’s Pet Shop Boys now with ‘Domino Dancing’ from 1988, with that post-Italo NRG bassline. Oh, go on then. Duran Duran ’s ‘Rio’ from 1982. [...]
