Rarely Heard: Clock DVA - Uncertain



"A product of the same mid-'70s England industrial music community that also gave rise to Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA emerged in 1980 from the ashes of Sheffield-area bands including the Studs, Block Opposite, Veer, and They Must Be Russians as well as the Future, an early incarnation of The Human League." (Allmusic.com)
As I was heavily into Industrial music at the time I got their 1981 debut album Thirst, which I found agreeable, but - hardcore as I thought I was - a bit to commercial, since it was all stil danceable (it had to be real noise for me). So I never ventured into their latter albums, and they existed well into the mid 90s. Would be interesting to check them out.
