AMG Review: Designed as a companion piece to the 12" compilation The
Original Sound of Sheffield, the three-disc Conform to Deform is the
flip side, literally speaking in places. The first two discs, labeled
Conform and Deform, trace a spiral path through Cabaret Voltaire's
major-label period, compiling B-sides, alternate mixes, unreleased
12" singles, video outtakes, and more. Deform is probably a good word
to use in conjunction with most of this material, as much of it is
essentially other work poked and prodded, pulled into a new shape,
and given a new name. The most extreme realization of the urge to
deform comes two tracks into the second disc with "C.O.M.A.," which
originally appeared on the flip side of the "I Want You" 12" single
and consists of all of the album The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm
of the Lord placed through an audio blender - well, it sounded nifty
at the time. The third disc, Liveform, features the band live in
Edinburgh in June of 1990, well after Cabaret Voltaire's catch-up
transformation into a house act, on the tour for Groovy, Laidback and
Nasty. The material on this third disc is, expectedly, mostly from
this album, with a few nods to the past: There's a version of
"Sensoria" dressed up as a house track, and a few old lyrics are
slyly dropped into the middle of "Ride Baby Ride." The audience is
polite to this new material, but if you listen between the songs you
can also hear someone screaming for "Yashar" - surely not a ringing
endorsement. Ultimately, the Liveform disc is interesting, but it's
hard to believe that someone shelling out money for a box set of Cabs
obscurities would be clamoring for a live document from this
particular period. The set comes with a booklet complete with a 1983
essay by Andy Gill, written just as the band was embarking on its
major-label journey. The booklet is also filled out with words of
praise from a new generation of artists who were influenced by the
Cabs' collision of funk and electronics, but that praise will seem
obvious to anyone dedicated enough to seek out this set of rarities.
Those who really want to know why Cabaret Voltaire appealed to the
hearts, minds, and feet of a whole generation of listeners and
artists (many of whom went on to be the genesis of the techno
movement) will be much happier with The Original Sound of Sheffield.
