23 Skidoo were one of the early British industrial bands loosely associated with Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Although I was a fervent fan of industrial, their sound was actually too commercial for me; it's very rhythmic - danceable - and intregates diverse ethnic sounds. And, indeed, as I checked them out for this entry, I read that their first album, Seven Songs, went straight to number 1 in the Independent charts in 1982. Still, I'd suggest they are worth a revisting after all these years.
