Product Review

CD reissue of this live show by the leaders of the Industrial movement, originally released in 1981. Live at the Lyceum dispels any notions of Cabaret Voltaire as a sterile studio group. Wisely, they don't seek to duplicate their studio sound, but convert it into outré-populist dance music that is almost improvisational in nature. Though the live recordings are more fragmented than their studio counterparts, they compensate for it in added energy. Eight tracks. EMI.
