cabaret voltaire : the return journey

a new groove permeates my soul currently.
i haven't listened to the Cabs in years .. but recently something clicked, off i trundled to the archive, and immersed myself in the minimal but vital human/machine interaction from the same city that now export those fucking Monkeys. tracks like 'i want you', 'kickback' and the jawdroppingly awesome Sensoria 12", are everything that i loved from the early-mid 80's, and were bizarrely released on a major label with expectations of pop stardom. ha !
what were they thinking.
and those neville brody covers were wonderful, these all have an air of pure discomfort, that even today still sends a shiver ooop me spine.
 
     
 
glorious.
surely its time for a reunion ?
