Description

Cabaret Voltaire shifts gears on this 1991 follow-up to Body and Soul. It's on this album that the preindustrial magnates kick off their practice of implementing Latin percussion and bongo-filled disco breaks into their class act. Colours was a prelude to the stripped-down style which would take off later, on the band's 1992 release, Plasticity (and also with Richard H. Kirk's side-project, Sandoz). The last Cabaret Voltaire album to feature Stephen Mallinder's singing, the excess of vocals is evident on songs like "Colours" and "Wildlife." As with other Cabaret Voltaire albums, Mallinder's vocalsmore… seem subdued to the point where they can be ignored. Sans vocals, it might have sat well alongside early Warp releases like LFO, Tricky Disco, or Sweet Exorcist--another Kirk side-project. --Esther Yoon
