UK industrial group Clock DVA took a 6 year hiatus after releasing the landmark album "Advantage" in 1983, allowing time for founder Adi Newton to reconfigure his lineup for the next phase, a transformation that saw the band fully evolve into an EBM sound. The back-to-back albums "Buried Dreams" (1989) and "Man-Amplified" (1991) are masterpieces of the EBM/electro-industrial genre, complimenting each other enough to function as one masterwork. "Buried Dreams" is just barely the superior of the two, with a smooth, sinister take on a sound that would later go on to be called "cyberpunk" as it was interpreted by Front Line Assembly and others. Music for hackers.
