After five years of silence with only sporadic club and festival shows it’s now time for the fourth full length album from the Swedish duo.
The long awaited album titled For Generations to Come will be released early spring 2013. An album packed with electronic body music that will move people on dance floors all over the world.
For sure yet another example of the diversity and strength of the bands musical skills. Pounding basses, harsh but melodic voices, exciting synthesizers and as always with something to be pointed out in the lyrics.
The bands earlier carrier moved them from venues in the north home of Scandinavia to as far south as Mexico, from Los Angeles in the west to Moscow in the east.
Now we wait and see where For Generations to come will take the band on their journey in the world of music. If Spetsnaz used to be the leader of the new EBM wave, they for sure still are
Do not adjust your screen! Instead prepare yourself for a mind-bending sonic assault as Cabaret Voltaire perform live at London’s famous Town And Country Club in 1992.
Pioneers of techno, industrial, samplebased electronica, Cabaret Voltaire successfully blurred the line between music and performance art.
The tracks performed in this DVD highlight Cabaret Voltaire’s spirit of experimentation as classics like The Message and Plasticity 6 are given unique twists and also features snippets of Steve Lamacq interviewing both Kirk and Mallinder.
While bands such as Kraftwerk, New Order and The Orb achieved greater notoriety within the genres, Cabaret Voltaire’s longevity, influence and experience has ensured they are without doubt a cornerstone in the history of electronic and industrial music.

Tinto Brass is one of the most provocating Italian directors in filmhistory.
One of his classics is Salon Kitty in where prostitutes had to control the German troops during World War II.
The movie was based on the book by Peter Norden and Tinto Brass (who wrote the famous script from Caligula) oncemore provocated the conservative filmaudience.
The movie was almost completely unfindable and it was a realm gem for cultcollectors, but now Excesso Entertainment releases the movie on both dvd and Blu-ray.
Cast: Helmut Berger, Ingrid Thulin, Teresa Ann Savoy, John Steiner
Synopsis
Kitty runs a brothel in Nazi Germany where the soldiers come to "relax". Recording devices have been installed in each room by a power hungry army official who plans to use the information to blackmail Hitler and gain power himself. A girl named Margherita discovers the little ploy and with Kitty's help plans to take on the dangerous task of exposing the conspiracy.
"Seid Radikal! Be radical!” This call to arms, as propagated in the song “Radikal” can be seen as programmatic for the entire new Pankow-album “And Shun The Cure They Most Desire”, the group’s first long player in more than five years, which sees them reunited with original vocalist and non-conformist Alex Spalck who lends his voice to three songs (next to new singer Bram Declercq) and wrote all the lyrics.
The sonic anarchists headed by Maurizio (fm) Fasolo and Paolo Favati (whose definitive return to the band will probably delight the old fan base) have again set out to defy genre conventions by conjuring up a Molotov cocktail of EBM, Industrial, Pop, Minimal and Baroque fragments plus a wild cornucopia of sounds, beats and the unbridled fondness for experimentation.
Impossible? There is no impossible! Garnished with cynical lyrics and a deliberate disrespect for systemic conventions, Pankow play in a league of their own… just like always when the mad Italians unleash an album unto the unsuspecting world. Fans know that they have to approach each new Pankow-release with an open mind, while people with a tendency for pigeonholing will get their stereotypes smacked right back into their faces with a smirk from the band.
As a special bonus “And Shun The Cure They Most Desire” contains the bonus disc “+”, a collection of completely new and exclusive remixes from bands like Rabia Sorda, Tying Tiffany, Ambassador 21 and many more, as well as re- and deconstructions of classic songs by the band. Also included is a video clip for the programmatic album track “Dirty Old Men” from video artist Isabella Panero.
With the new album, Pankow close the circle they started a decade ago with “Life Is Offensive…” Subversion rules! Open your mind!
Release: 01.03.2013
