Virtual State
Richard H. Kirk
Released:
Jan 1994
Label:
TVT Records
Former Cabaret Voltaire member Richard H. Kirk dove headfirst into acid house with his late '80s group Sweet Exorcist; by 1994's Virtual State, he's clearly coming down. His first solo album in eight years bears little explicit connection to either rave or industrial music, instead folding heavy atmospheres and electronic loops into a dark, intensely personal version of ambient electronica fleshed out with African music and radio transmissions. On par with Aphex Twin at his most hushed, it's a quietly stunning album.
