Background notes
Archive material and source history
Victims of Science came out of London's 1980s underground with a sound that leaned into industrial rhythms and electronic textures. Their song 'The Device Has Been Modified' became a notable track, circling around themes of technology and its intrusions.
Ian Curtis and Ricky Gervais started the band in the early 1980s, drawing from electronic music and science fiction writers like William Gibson. Their first album, 'The Science of Sound,' arrived in 1983, followed by others such as 'Birth, Life, and Death' in 1986 and 'Energy' in 1988.
While the lineup shifted at times, Curtis and Gervais remained central figures. Their music didn't follow conventional melodies, instead building on programmed beats and synth layers that gave it a stark, uneasy feel.
