Cabaret Voltaire

A highly influential electronic group, blending pop with dance music, techno, dub, house and experimental electronic music - "One of the most influential electronic bands of all time, cited by everyone from New Order to Stereolab to Primal Scream.

Leather-clad and wonderfully futuristic/ intimidating, they took a sonic blowtorch to the sterility of modern pop." - Dave Simpson, The Guardian (May 26, 2000).
