Cabaret Voltaire - 8385 Completism
Review by Roberto Garrido
Cabaret Voltaire’s 8385 Completism is an impressive collection of tracks that showcase the band’s innovative and experimental sound. The album features a mix of previously unreleased tracks, remixes, and live recordings that capture the band’s evolution over the years.
The album opens with the pulsating beats of “24-24,” a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through their diverse sound, from the eerie, industrial sounds of “Respiration” to the hypnotic rhythms of “Just Fascination.”
One of the standout tracks on the album is “Sensoria,” which features a catchy synth riff and haunting vocals. The remix of “Yashar” is also notable, with its frenzied beats and distorted vocals.

About Cabaret Voltaire
Cabaret Voltaire were a British music group from Sheffield, England.
Initially composed of Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk and Chris Watson, the group was named after the Cabaret Voltaire, a nightclub in Zurich, Switzerland that was a centre for the early Dada movement.
Their earliest performances were dada-influenced performance art, but Cabaret Voltaire later developed into one of the most prolific and important groups to blend pop with dance music, techno, dub house and experimental electronic music.
The band formed in Sheffield in 1973 and experimented widely with sound creation and processing. These early experiments are documented on the triple album CD set "Methodology" (Mute 2002). They eventually turned to live performance. At thier first ever gig in 1975, Mallinder was hospitalised with a chipped backbone after the band had objects thrown at them. However the arrival of punk rock brought a more accepting audience for their industrial, electronic sound and they were championed by Sheffield punk fanzine Gunrubber edited by Paul Bower of local band 2.3, and Adi Newton of The Future/Clock DVA.
In 1978, Cabaret Voltaire signed to Rough Trade Records. With Rough Trade they released several acclaimed musically experimental singles and EPs, including "Extended Play
