Fragments

Formed in Sheffield in 1978, around the core line-up of Adi Newton, Steven Turner, David Hammond, and Simon Elliot-Kemp, Clock DVA built upon the havoc created by their industrial forefathers, Throbbing Gristle, sharing their subversive taste for sonic, moral and political deviance. They were part of a virile and prolific scene, collaborating and consorting with the likes of Coil’s John Balance, Chris Watson, Martin Ware, and Richard H. Kirk in their earliest days to forge a distempered and visceral sound. The heady flux of ideas in 'Fragment' and their darkly seductive film soundtrack 'Fragment Of Hysteria', Clock DVA at once defied categorisation and established the aesthetics of the New Wave to come. ‘Fragment’ was recorded at "Western Works", the recording facility of Industrial buddies, Cabaret Voltaire. Alongside TG, Pere Ubu, and The Pop Group, Clock DVA are genuine pioneers of this most uncompromising branch of music, an absolute must for all followers of electronic/synth/wave/Industrial music.
