About

Micro-Phonies is the fifth studio album by English band Cabaret Voltaire, released in 1984 through Some Bizzare and Virgin Records. The album marked a turning point in the group’s sound, leaning further into sleek, dance-oriented production while retaining their experimental edge. It features standout tracks like “Sensoria” and “James Brown,” which gained traction in alternative clubs and helped push the band closer to mainstream recognition. Often cited as one of their most accessible works, Micro-Phonies showcases Cabaret Voltaire’s evolution from confrontational industrial pioneers to innovators of electronic body music and proto-techno.
