"This month's cover star is the legendary Stephen Mallinder, once of Cabaret

Voltaire, now of Wrangler and Creep Show, and we have an exclusive and totally

glorious green vinyl seven-inch by this giant of UK electronic music to accompany

the issue.

It’s nearly 30 years since Mallinder was involved with Cabaret Voltaire, the group

his name will always be associated with, but he's never stopped creating,

innovating and moving forwards. Our in-depth interview lifts the lid on the time

that he spent in Australia after the Cabs had split up – one minute he was training

to be a teacher, the next he was locked inside a garage all night with Shaun Ryder

and a pint of sherry – and examines his role as an enabler and a serial collaborator.

We also probe Mallinder on his excellent new solo album, ’Tick Tick Tick’, which he

reckons is "on the spectrum between The Jackson 5 and Terry Riley". That's code

for something magnificently wonky, by the way.

As well as our cover feature, we also talk to one-time Kraftwerk man Karl Bartos

about his autobiography, ‘The Sound Of The Machine’, the long-awaited English

version of which comes out shortly. Elsewhere, Kelly Lee Owens explains her

influences – from witchcraft to, er, gravy – and Ultravox keyboardist Billy Currie

discusses his solo back catalogue. We have Everything Everything, Alison Cotton,

GNOD and The Beatmasters too, plus Scottish musician Lomond Campbell, the

inventor of strange instruments such as the Harmonograph Synthesiser and the

Unsung Machine. Don't touch that dial!

This month's magazine is accompanied by an exclusive seven-inch featuring two

splendid tracks from Stephen Mallinder. It's pressed on lush green vinyl too. The

A-side is the warm and fuzzy but still resolutely warped 'Contact', the opening cut

of 'Tick Tick Tick', his brand new album. This is loose-limbed electro-funk from

another dimension. Turn the record over for the more mechanical sound of 'Cool

Down', which originally came out as a single in 1981 and later became one of the

highlights of Mallinder's debut solo album, 'Pow-Wow'. "I think having two tracks

from two albums that were released 40 years apart adds up to a nice little seven-

inch vignette," he says. He's certainly not wrong. "
