Customer Reviews:

But why didn't they include.......2007-03-28

the 12" of "James Brown"? The long version is as much a reconceptualization of the album version as the 12" of "Sensoria," so it's too bad it's not included.

Black and blue music.......2006-11-27

This is one Cabaret Voltaire's greatest albums and it was one of my favourites in the 1980s. This is possibly Cabaret Voltaire's most disciplined and "hard-edged" albums. It is one of the most relentless and uncompromising albums of its time.

Dark humour, observations and dark colours abound on Micro-Phonies. "Sensoria", "Blue Heat", "Digital Rasta" and "James Brown" are the standout tracks.

Cabaret Voltaire's voice was distinctive - richer and more layered than DAF, dirtier and grittier than John Foxx, more use of Musique Concrete elements than Kraftwerk and more thunderous and "Industrial" than anything Depeche Mode ever could dream of making.


Music that still sounds awesome and chilling through a big sound system in a club.

Cab's best.......2006-08-17

Maybe their most listenable collection of songs, this CD waas quite a favourite of mine when it came out. There are some really well produced and played techno songs that have not dated. OK, it is no longer the same experimental stuff as in their beginning but it was still challenging.

Paranoid Pop Perfection.......2004-08-09

This is easily the Cabs best album. Their decision to move away from the free-form industrial electronic experimentation of 'Voice of America' et al is perfectly justified with this recording. While the poppier edge may disarm you at first, this record is brimming with aspects to enjoy, every song conceals a deeper, darker underside. 'Spies in the Wires' is by far the best track (closely followed by Do Right), the way the beat kicks in and infectious chorus (not to mention evocative lyrics)....wow....i'm usually the fan of harder edged stuff, liek neubauten, TG, SPK and the wild electronics of SP, Autechre etc but this is a real gem. Go buy. You won't regret it.

The Cabs go pop.......2003-05-04

Well it still is Cabaret Voltaire because the lyrics are still paranoid but the music is getting lighter in form but that doesn't mean it's crap. Sensoria is probably the song that gets most people into Cabaret Voltaire with the juttery "D-d-d-Do right." But there are other songs on here to make you feel like dancing. Digital Rasta is a beautiful song where Mallinder sings " Selling something like you sell yourself, money in the bank but your under pressure" making it the perfect mate for you when you're a little peed off about your manager

Of course it might take a bit of time if you bought The Crackdown and were expecting something similar ( it's not quite the same ) and/or if you think the amount of tracks you get is not enough to make you shell out your money but stick with it - it's a good album
