Double vinyl LP pressing. CLOCK DVA - White Souls in Black Suits (2025 Remaster) [Black Vinyl Repress] Following the sold-out limited edition grey vinyl reissue, Clock DVA's White Souls in Black Suits is back on black vinyl. Originally released in 1980 as a limited-run cassette on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records - this newly remastered edition includes four bonus tracks from the same era. Led by the visionary Adi Newton, Clock DVA remains one of the most enigmatic and shape- shifting acts to emerge from Sheffield. Their catalog spans mutant funk, noir jazz, and coldwave electronics, with White Souls in Black Suits, paired with the additionals tracks, offering an insight into the early morphology of their sound. The album features a lineup including Newton (voice, synth, clarinet, bowed electric guitar, and tape treatment), founding member Steven James Turner (bass treatment), David J. Hammond (guitar treatment), Charlie Collins (saxophone, flute & percussion), Roger Quail (percussion) and Simon M. Elliott- Kemp (synth). Recorded at Cabaret Voltaire's Western Works studio, the album is loosely structured, largely improvised, and steeped in the influence of Sheffield's early industrial and goth scene. It evokes a world of surveillance, obsession, and psychological decay, a debut that set the tone for Clock DVA's ever-evolving vision and an essential record of the original industrial era.
