Biography

Building on the template provided by the early-'70s krautrock movement, Britain's Richard H. Kirk and his cohorts charted an electronic course through industrial dissonance, indie dance, creepy ambient, and film soundtracks. Able to work in a variety of styles but with common themes, Cabaret Voltaire built up a large, consistently interesting body of work.
