Martial Canterel’s Sean McBride began producing minimal dance music on analog synthezisers in 2002. His unique sound would go on to shape the cold wave/minimal-electronic movement of the last decade, but despite his influence,

Despite some delays Navigations Volume I is now available.

The Intone label is now relaunched with a 3 CD Box Set of Cabaret Voltaire live recordings from 1982 and 1985. Live in Liverpool(1982),live in Sheffield(1982) and Live in Toronto (1985).
Cabaret Voltaire circa 1982 was kind of post Rough Trade, pre- Some Bizarre/Virgin and these recordings capture the band at a fascinating career phase. The recording from Toronto was the next to last date of a North American tour from April/May 1985.
The Cabaret Voltaire live concerts of the 83-85period were much more anarchic than the studio recordings and arguably just as interesting in their own way, like some kind of soundclash going on in realtime. This release will be a good primer for the forthcoming Cabaret Voltaire box set, (collected works 1983- 1985) coming in November.

Amongst the musicians / songwriters, besides the original contributors of Joakim Montelius (COVENANT) and Sebastian Komor (ICON OF COIL, ZOMBIE GIRL, KOMOR KOMMANDO) we will also notice the contribution of Daniel Myer (HAUJOBB), Johann Sebastian (STATE OF THE UNION) and Maze (BLANK).
Die Krupps, the long-running, venerated, German industrial/rock/EBM band, returns with the new album The Machinists of Joy. Following the release of the first single, "Risikofaktor," the new album showcases the accumulation of over three decades of growth and influence.
Die Krupps has been listed as an influence to bands such as Nitzer Ebb, Rammstein, Depeche Mode. A seamless blend of new influences and the signature sound that Die Krupps helped create makes The Machinists of Joy an impressive piece of work.
Look at the excellent artwork!
