Just Beating the Clock

 

Capt. Clark 23 slid in a last minute request. In his request he stated that this was something he could neither afford nor find. I can't think of a better reason to add him to the pile of gifts. This has been specially wrapped for the Captain... 



Clock DVA is an industrial post-punk group from Sheffield, England, one of the first groups to arise during the formation of the Sheffield Electronic Scene. Adolphus 'Adi' Newton formed the first lineup of Clock DVA in 1978, after his departure from The Future (whose other members went on to form The Human League & Heaven 17) with Steven 'Judd' Turner -bass, David J. Hammond - guitar, Roger Quail - drums, & Charlie Collins - saxophone, clarinet. The name Clock DVA (as well as Heaven 17) was inspired by the Russian-influenced Nadsat of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange...Dva is the Russian word for two. 

 



Originally focusing on experimental music inspired by science fiction & the occult, then evolving toward a more industrial/electronic body music sound. In their early days, they released a handful of privately produced cassettes, most of which have since been collected in the Horology boxed sets of lps from the German label Vinyl-On-Demand.

    1. 1 of 4 is kinda 5. The 23 enigma is really the Law of Five (2+3), so you fit right in, be it name or number. Happy Holidaze.
