The studio consisted of rented rooms on the second floor of an old industrial building. Cabaret Voltaire had themselves set up the studio in, I think, 1978 for both rehearsing and recording - and used that as their recoding studio until they moved out in 1987 when the building was demolished.teac22https://www.blogger.com/profile/12774808453880309922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-2991611415774656592018-04-04T21:21:11.356-07:002018-04-04T21:21:11.356-07:00Nice, I was just thinking a couple days ago that i...Nice, I was just thinking a couple days ago that i'd like to hear more rare/early NO :)Mark L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08568334531288543651noreply@blogger.com
