Cabaret Voltaire - #7885 Electropunk to Technopop: 7.5 (high B+)

 

The second half of this also appears to contain about 70% of The Original Sound of Sheffield '83/'87 (perhaps in different mixes), so it's interesting to note that Tom Hull gives the latter a full A and this only an A minus. I gather he really prefers the back half of this. I listened to that separately, to see if it hit me differently on its own. Not really. The Original Sound is for some reason totally unavailable to listen to in its original form, so that's going to have to be the end of it. # [dance/electronica]
