Woah. Is this still Kirk solo?

Either way, I’m in.

I was quite into Kirks work a couple of years back.. nice to see this!

[BUNKUM 86]

Looks like it’s just Kirk (Cabaret Solitaire?)

Stoked to hear this album in its entirety. Only one more day to wait.

[Soloman Tump 870]

It is actually pretty good!

This is a lot of fun, never been the biggest CV fan but I like this.

[fumi 303]

This is very pleasant, to say the least. Impressed.

Richard H. Kirk never disappoints. I’m still playing my Sandoz box set I picked up a few years ago. 
 

Looking forward to hearing this.

You should check out the final 3 CV albums that came out on Instinct (at least in the US) Plasticity, International Language, and The Conversation. Very much of this style (though maybe a little lower in the BPMs?) as are his Sandoz/Electronic Eye/"Richard H. Kirk" releases circa roughly '93-'97...

Completely agreed. Love everything his made during this era but I am a sucker for that early 90s sound.

I feel like most people don’t rate those last few albums, and I never really understood why. 

SO many gems in the Sandoz/Electronic Eye catalog.

Virtual State is one of my all-time favorites.

Me too. World War III is one of my all time favorite tracks. Super funky.

Virtual State is great, as is The Number Of Magic and Electronic Eye's Closed Circuit and The Idea Of Justice. I think I'm going to get the Sandoz box next. Although Cabaret Voltaire is historically significant I've never been a huge fan, this new album has its moments but I'd still rather go back to those mentioned above.

Well I’m not really blown away by this at first listen, but I would get why fans of their older stuff would like it. 
 

The first few Sandoz albums easily stand up with the best dubby ambient techno albums of that era.

I mean, come on:

Dang are there no digimals for the Sandoz box set available anywhere? I missed the boat.
