I've been very curious about this DVD for some time, being a longtime
fan of Cabaret Voltaire. You liked it, then? Must pick it up now...
Introduced inadequately,

> There is a great DVD out there that chronicles the development of the Sheffield electronic sound. It is called "Made in Sheffield" and it is available via amazon. It covers the Cabs, Human League, ABC (which was originally called Vice Versa). It is fascinating how a sound starts in one area and there are usually a number of bands in that scene who are competitive in a way or friends and push each other. I am thinking of the late 70s NYC CBGB scene, the London punk scene, and the Leeds punk/funk scene. However, usually only a few of these bands are ever heard by the larger worldwide public. Artery is especially interesting. This is definitely worth renting or buying...
