Sheffield, England (1977 – present)
Clock DVA is an electronic music group from Sheffield, England. Originally founded, in late-1977, by Adi Newton and Steven Turner. They were first known for experimental electronic music.
They became associated with industrial music with the 1980 release of their album White Souls in Black Suits on Industrial Records, although in reality the early material that predates this release is a blend of extreme electronics and frequencies that was heard only by a spartan few, including Jhon Balance and other notaries. (This early archive material, which includes the Sex Works Beyond Entanglement 12” EP (1979) originally planned for release by Cherry Red with the tracks Throbbing Sweeping Obscene/Coil/The Pop Hell, is due for release with a number of other extreme pure-electronic compositions and will readdress the morphology of DVA history.) The album Thirst followed in 1981, by which time Adi Newton and Steven Judd Turner had combined musique concrète techniques with guitar, bass, and drum instrumentation, fused with Newton’s unique art direction and existential lyrics and writing.
After the tragic death of Steven Judd Turner, Adi Newton formed a new version of the band in 1983. First releasing the singles Passions Still Aflame and High Holy Disco Mass on the major label Polydor under the name DVA, the group then released the album Advantage (along with several singles). During a European tour a dispute amongst the musicians occurred resulting in Adi Newton disbanding the group.

I don't think Autechre is boring, but you're right for one reason: all those electronic dudes ripped Sheffield and Manchester off; listen to Cabaret Voltaire and some 1987 acid house music and you know why. As for Clock: my favourite album is Advantage and my favourite track is: "Morpheus Baby" by the Anti-Group; those are pre-electronic.

holy fuck, these dudes were THE SHIT! best cyberpunk music I ever heard. It's funny how eletronic music was awesome in the early 80's and now that we are in the internet/technocracy era eletronica just went gay as fuck. Stuff to dance to like Justice, Bloody Beet Roots, if thats the future I wanna die soon.

My video from Clock DVA performing Sound Mirror at the Pantheon Kuppehalle for Wave Gotik Treffen on June 10, 2011 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI6u-rMVPbM I used to run clockdva.com which is about to be relaunched. The entire DVA back catalog will be remastered and reissued on Mute Records, hopefully this year according to Adi Newton. He also has an entire album's worth of material post-Sign from 1996/7 that will also be released at some point.
