80’s Flashback

Cabaret Voltaire, Sensoria, 1984. My roommate and I discovered this track because at the time we were buying just about any band that came out of Sheffield, England: Human League/Heaven 17, ABC, Pulp, etc – they just all seemed to be perfect to us. As I recall, there were two or three quite different versions of Sensoria – it took us a while to finally track down the 12″ for this, the version that was popular in the gay clubs. Sensoria never charted anywhere to my knowledge, but I still hear it occasionally, as well as their other club hit, the even odder Yashar. There’s 70 billion people on the Earth – where are they hiding?
