We've always been journalists - and have seen ourselves in that way. But we sort of recontextualized it through music.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

Even if that statement was ambiguous, we kind of wanted to cause a stir. We thought that by having the name "Cabaret Voltaire", that with it came a certain responsibility. It wasn't meant to be purely entertainment; it was meant to be something a little bit more serious - and to provoke people - wrapped within an outer wrapping of entertainment.

[Kino] worked really well as a song title, and to build into a lyric, and also how we embraced mulit-media at the time.

Crackdown had Dave Ball playing on it. Flood worked on our next album, and Adrian Sherwood worked with us on Code.
