Code by Cabaret Voltaire
Code is an album by Cabaret Voltaire, released in 1987. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Don't Argue”, on 1 list with a best position of #345.
Code, Cabaret Voltaire's eighth studio album, came out on EMI in October 1987, the work of the band's long-running core of Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder. It's cold, hard dance music built for the club floor: machine rhythms that lock into a groove and won't let go, clipped, chattering electronics, and a sleek, chrome-plated sheen over everything. File it under techno and it earns the tag.
The album itself never made the charts, but two singles did: "Don't Argue" reached 69 in the UK and "Here to Go" got to 88. Groovy, Laidback and Nasty came next.
