Cabaret Voltaire pre-date all of the much later North American IDM/industrial bands like Skinny Puppy, Ministry, NiN etc.
They started their own brand of electronic cut-up funk in the late 70's.
It could be said that without the likes of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle etc, that the later bands would not have existed, as they all owe so much to the English Northern Industrial scene.
This album along with "Microphonies" sounds like nothing else before or indeed after.
The Cabs were never afraid to let influences from Detroit funk to European Avant-garde electronic music seep into the seems. If you think Industrial/Electronic music started in 1983, this is the perfect album to squeegee your third eye ! Threlly
