Celebrating Richard H. Kirk, 21st March 1956 to 21st September 2021.
Richard H. Kirk re-established Cabaret Voltaire as a solo venture in the late Noughties with remix albums/EPs for Kora and The Tivoli and, in 2020, released the first Cabs album in 26 years with Shadow Of Fear.
A couple of drone albums and an EP followed this year, proof if needed that Richard H. Kirk was creatively in rude health.
I can't express how much his music has meant to me and this hastily compiled selection doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
