CABARET VOLTAIRE - Micro-Phonies (1984)

 

Riding the wave of the recent Cabaret Voltaire resurgence (see my June 2026 post), the latest vinyl-to-digital archival project on the turntable is "Microphonies", their sixth studio album from 1984.

On this record, the bnd shifted their sonic signature away from abrasive industrial noise toward a driving, hypnotic electronic groove that makes the tracklist much more accessible than theri earlier output (somebody prefer the early version of CV).

As with the previous drops, this vinyl has been ripped in FLAC 24-bit/96kHz.

CABARET VOLTAIRE - But What Time is it Really ? (2026)

 

The biggest surprise of 2026 so far is the return of Cabaret Voltaire. With the death of Richard  Kirk I didn't think I would ever hear Cabaret Voltaire again.

I was wrong!!! The live performances of their 2025 UK tour were followed in 2026 by new releases and a new 2026 tour  (unfortunately,  Italy is not on the list).

There are LPs and CDs (with different setlists), Bandcamp digital releases and also a lot of youtube videos of the live tour performances.

For those who (like me) cannot attend a concert of this tour, here is a list of links that can be used as  an alternative.

CABARET VOLTAIRE - Red Mecca (1981)

Electronic, Techno, Industrial, New Wave ?
How to define Cabaret Voltaire  music? This is not a great problem just listen and enjoy their sonority.
It was more than 30 years ago but it could be yesterday, today or tomorrow....
