The Crackdown is the fifth studio album by English electronic band Cabaret Voltaire, released in August 1983 jointly through record labels Some Bizarre and Virgin. It was produced by the band themselves and Flood. The Crackdown was Cabaret Voltaire's first album after Chris Watson's departure and the first released on Some Bizzare, recorded and mixed in two weeks at Trident Studios, London, England.

Band Name Cabaret Voltaire. Album Name The Crackdown. 版公司 Virgin Records Some Bizzare. Bonustracks (Re-Issue 2000).

One of Cabaret Voltaire's strongest albums, The Crackdown features the band working a number of menacing electronic textures into a basic dance/funk rhythm; the result is one of their most distinctive, challenging records.

The Crackdown + Bonus 12". Cabaret Voltaire Format: Vinyl. This is probably their best overall album, and strikes the best balance between the noise and experimentation of their early work and their more rhythm-conscious later albums. those new to Cabaret Voltaire might be best to start with Micro-phonies, which contains their best known song "Sensoria". This album is darker and more atmospheric and still contains elements of the white noise that dominates Voice of America, Mix-up and Red Mecca. If you like this, try 2 x 45 next. Crackdown' marks the beginning of a new phase of Cabaret Voltaire's career, showcasing a much more streamlined and danceable sound compared to their earlier albums.
