Technology: Western Re-Works 1992

Cabaret Voltaire’s Western Re-Works 1992 collects Virgin’s remixes of the Sheffield industrial pioneers' material, finding the group’s abrasive electronics recalibrated for early-nineties dancefloors. Producers strip away the aggression for techno and downtempo textures, though Cabaret Voltaire’s dystopian sensibility persists beneath the 4/4 beats and electro frameworks. A transitional document capturing industrial music’s drift toward club culture.
