Clock DVA

Formed in Sheffield in the late 1970s by Adi Newton, Clock DVA evolved from industrial and post-punk beginnings into darker electronic and cyberpunk territories, producing landmark albums such as Buried Dreams and Man-Amplified.

Reviews and public sources identify Adi Newton as the group's central figure; early collaborators and members mentioned in the reviews include Steven Turner, John Valentine Carruthers, Hugh Jones, Paul Widger, Charlie Collins and Roger Quail. The band is noted for moving from noisy, jazz-tinged industrial/post-punk toward electronic, cybernetic and EBM-influenced sounds; Buried Dreams (1990) and Man-Amplified are frequently cited as pivotal releases.

DeBaser's reviews trace Clock DVA's shift from noisy industrial/post‑punk roots to a darker electronic/cyberpunk sound. Reviewers repeatedly praise Adi Newton's vision and landmark records such as Buried Dreams and Man‑Amplified. Advantage and Thirst are noted as important transitional works; Sign is seen as a weaker late entry.
