Album of the Week

Cabaret Voltaire
The cluttered, hypnotic sixth studio release of Cabaret Voltaire. Something about this album makes me slightly uncomfortable, but has always sucked me in. I've always admired how seemingly fluent early industrial music seems to play. It always has a motion to it. A unique direction that if you close your eyes almost seems to move you physically into all different directions. Some tracks make you feel like you're in a washing machine, some like you're being propelled at the speed of light through billions of brick walls, and some just feel like you're floating around earth aimlessly and peacefully.


 The opening track is a great place to start the album with. They go into a more synth pop direction as the album and bands career progresses. Even by the end of this record you can notice a much catchier style overall than the hypnotic feel to the opening track.



Interesting film fact: 
  Ferris Bueller had a poster of this album in his bedroom, along with industrial pioneers Killing Joke.
