Cabaret Voltaire

While angry punks morphed into hardcore and angsty post punks made new wave, Cabaret Voltaire still seemed to have a way to merge menace with the avant garde. More than a little self-conscious at times, both CV and Throbbing Gristle might be comparable to a Beatles and Stones of industrial music, always pushing the envelope a little further. Unintended analogy: Does that make Blur and Oasis the Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle of Brit-pop?
