Sheffield in 72 Records - Electronic Pop to Indie

Seventy-two key records, chronologically compiled, tracing Sheffield's music history from Cabaret Voltaire's confrontational early recordings and The Human League's "Being Boiled," a track so far ahead of its time it initially baffled more people than it converted, through to the city's 90s and mid-2000s commercial breakthroughs. The print documents Sheffield's less celebrated but genuinely important post-punk and electronic underground: Artery, 2.3, In the Nursery, and Richard H. Kirk's prolific, restlessly experimental solo work alongside his Cabaret Voltaire output.

ABC and Heaven 17 (via the related British Electric Foundation project) represent Sheffield's more commercially successful synth-pop wing, proof the city's electronic scene could produce both confrontational art music and genuine pop hits from largely the same pool of musicians. Sweet Exorcist's early techno experiments, The Comsat Angels' underrated post-punk catalogue, and Chakk's brief but influential run round out the picture, before Longpigs carry the story into the Britpop era that eventually gave Sheffield its Arctic Monkeys-driven 2000s moment.
