Back in 1977 and before Clock DVA’s first incarnation Adi Newton has been a founding member of the pure electronic synthesized Sheffield-based project „The Future“. It consisted of Adi along with Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh who both went on to form the more accessible and commercial pop groups „the Human League“ and shortly after „Heaven 17“.
Adi, on the other hand, had been more interested and concerned in an Art that explored and experimented with sound and visuals to invent new forms of music that would challenge how sound can be perceived and used; Art as a means to subvert the form itself and re-use conventional instrumentation such as that found in the standard line up of Drums, Bass and Guitar, to apply pyscho accoustics and electronic treatments in order to find a new an individual morphology. In late 77 and after his departure from the „The Future“ he formed Clock DVA.
11 years later and after the release of the Albums Thirst (1981, Fetish Records) and Advantage (1983, Polydor) the Album Buried Dreams was released in 1988.
An Album considered for many as one of the most important and pioneering works within the whole Industrial/EBM-Electro Canon. Clock DVA continued to have no real comparable associates except maybe for the project Coil with whom they shared a long and industrious association.
