Industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire created the soundtrack to Babeth Mondini's 1979 film Chance Versus Causality after meeting the director at a concert in which the trio shared a bill with Joy Division and William S. Burroughs. However, instead of providing an advance cut of the film so the band could painstakingly compose music to precisely fit each scene, Mondini simply told them to improvise in a similar manner to their concerts. No further guidelines or instructions were given, and the group had no clue what the film was about (in fact, they never saw it). The album essentially lives up to its title, with looped voices, slashing guitar feedback, and dripping drum machines appearing and disappearing seemingly at random, yet there's still at least some semblance of logical progression.
