#7885 : electropunk to technopop

"Compiled by the group's Richard H. Kirk, this squeezes 19 of CV's finest 1978-1985 moments on one disc and also provides a service to more serious fans by including 7" versions of several Some Bizzare-era singles. (The 1983/1987 disc used the 12" versions.) Smart selections make this the best and handiest introduction to a group crucial to the development of industrial, post-punk, and dance music".

"Anyone with the two Original Sound of Sheffield compilations may struggle to see why this material is surfacing again, even if the versions here are sometimes notably shorter in length. But as an entry point into two of the distinct faces of Cabaret Voltaire, #7885 is an undeniably valuable document, and one that's as much about the importance of growth and change as it is about the birth of a sound".
