CLOCK DVA - Thirst 2LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition "Double Thirst" red colour vinyl.

Features original sleeve notes by the late Genesis P. Orridge.

Highly recommended.

Thirst captures the group at a critical threshold: post-punk bite tightening into colder industrial form. Rhythm grows more mechanical, structure more deliberate, while Newton’s voice holds the centre — signaling the darker, more system-driven path the band would soon pursue. Halcyon days revisited. Forward facing future retro. Delicious.

Actual legends Clock DVA return via Mute Records with a reissue of their sophomore early post-punk industrial, pre-goth pop set Thirst. Adi Newton’s voice — clipped, intent — remains the central instrument across the group’s catalog, a steady human signal threading through abrasion, rhythm and electronics.

Here, key cuts from this period of the band are restored and expanded, the track listing subtly increased to strong effect. The result is a version of Thirst that feels both archival and newly vital. Remastered with involvement from surviving members, the release arrives less as simple catalogue maintenance and more as a period document — one that predates the sleek, system-driven electronic work the group would refine across the 1990s and after.
