The album you refer to is 'Plasticity', part one of a trilogy; also the
last 3 albums CV have put out. Basically Mallinder didn't have a whole
lot tp contribute to these albums-RHK pretty much pulled them off solo
(thus no SM vocals). All three rock, I think the second, 'International
Langauge is the best one. Onc complteted, RHK decided to make a name for
himself outside the 'enigma' of CV and put out his Sandoz, Sweet Exorcist
and solo work. The CV albums/EP's prior to '92 are (not obviously going
ALL the way back-just the techno/house stuff):
Body and Soul (groovy/esoteric mix of Chicago House, a little Detroit
Techno and CV's weird lyrics)
Percusion Force (more of the same-twisted acid house remixes of Body and
Sould w/ trademark RHK bleepy quality)
Colours -can't even describe this beyond a grungy mutation of the above
styles, but VERY good.
Basically it was this work I think that (I'm just theorizing) RHK latched
onto techno and the burgeoning (vocal-less) IDM movement. Perhaps both he
and SM realized that maybe SM's vocals simply weren't needed anymore.
Next came out the Plasticity, International Language, and The
Conversation Trilogy.
