Cabaret Voltaire, Eric Random, Take It: Clarendon Hotel, London
Chris Bohn, New Musical Express, 11 October 1980

No matter if you've seen them before, inquisitive eyes inevitably scan the stage for a hidden drummer, only to discover that their pulsing heart emanates from a tape intermittently reinforced by sparing slaps of electronic percussion.
