Cabaret Voltaire - The Arm Of The Lord
Review by Ralf Neuhäuser
The Arm of the Lord by Cabaret Voltaire is a seminal album that showcases the band's unique blend of electronic and industrial music. Released in 1984, the album features dark, brooding tracks that are both haunting and powerful.
The opening track, "L21ST," sets the tone for the album with its pulsing beats and eerie synth sounds. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a dystopian landscape filled with political commentary and social criticism.
Tracks like "Whip Blow" and "The Arm of the Lord" are heavy on percussion and feature distorted vocals that add to the sense of unease. Meanwhile, "I Want You" is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to create catchy, danceable tunes that still pack a punch.

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

RIP Richard
Along came throbbing gristle
Killing joke , ministry , NIN
And many more that stuck more to the electronics .
Where are those sun shining, angst filled Days & Nights?!
Back when there was Music. FACT.
