#231: Stephen Mallinder –1-37

With self-built electronic instruments and performances influenced by Dadaism, Cabaret Voltaire from Sheffield paved the way for industrial culture in the mid-1970s. In his 1982 solo album Pow-Wow, founding member Stephen Mallinder explored the possibilities of dynamic minimalism. Star designer Neville Brody said that his design for the album cover addresses human rituals and human slaughter. And that’s exactly what can be heard in the track 1-37: driven by a clear idea, it follows its own path.
