Album Notes RADIATION is a 13-track anthology of singles, radio sessions and unreleased tracks by the Sheffield-based industrial/experimental duo Cabaret Voltaire, featuring "Sensoria" and "Big Funk." This collection of vintage industrial techno features one of the pioneers of the genre in several sessions recorded for the BBC between 1984 and '86. With their skeletal yet still rhythmically complex instrumentation, tracks like "You Like to Torment Me" and "Ruthless" have an angular, live-in-the-studio feel that contrasts with Cabaret Voltaire's contemporaneous recordings, with only "Sensoria" bearing much resemblance to its studio-created doppelganger. (A slashing run through "Sex Money Freaks" is considerably more disturbing than the comparatively placid original.) Recorded during the most artistically successful period of Cabaret Voltaire's long career, RADIATION is a worthy archival release.
