Cabaret Voltaire - But What Time Is It Really? Cabaret Voltaire
Pickup available at Dawson Street
Usually ready within 24-48 hours - Pre-order items available on day of release.
The title But What Time Is It Really? hints at the repetition that’s a part of the Cabs’ music. There’s a faint echo of the closing words of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return – “What year is this?” – which hint that we’re all just pawns in a game we can’t escape from. But there’s also a cute nod to the old electro / hip hop hype call of ‘What time is it?’, with a wry addition of ‘really’ suggesting the pleasures of the dancefloor have been lost along the way. This set, featuring two of the surviving members of Cabaret Voltaire, is as clear and powerful as any of the live albums the group released while Richard H. Kirk was alive. And it underlines that, when it comes to the live experience of electronic music, there’s a certain beauty in the way that the system – the grand design – can sometimes outlive its creators. – THE QUIETUS
