The vertebral column , also known as the spinal column , spine or backbone , is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals . The vertebral column is the defining and eponymous characteristic of the vertebrate endoskeleton , where the notochord (an elastic collagen -wrapped glycoprotein rod) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of mineralized irregular bones (or sometimes, cartilages ) called vertebrae , separated by fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs (the center of which is a notochord remnant). The dorsal portion of the vertebral column houses the spinal canal , an elongated cavity formed by alignment of the vertebral neural arches that encloses and protects the spinal cord , with spinal nerves exiting via the intervertebral foramina to innervate each body segments .
91-667: Mix-Up is the debut studio album by English band Cabaret Voltaire . It was released on 23 October 1979, through record label Rough Trade . The album contains a cover of The Seeds ' song "No Escape", from their 1966 eponymous debut album . Writing in Smash Hits in 1979, Red Starr said the album was an "intriguing but only occasionally attractive array of verbal and musical images". Starr went on to say that it sounded like "pointless backroom self indulgence". Steven Grant echoed Starr's ambivalence in Trouser Press, saying that
182-628: A hernia . Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal which can occur in any region of the spine though less commonly in the thoracic region. The stenosis can constrict the spinal canal giving rise to a neurological deficit . Pain at the coccyx (tailbone) is known as coccydynia . Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that causes changes in its function, either temporary or permanent. Spinal cord injuries can be divided into categories: complete transection, hemisection, central spinal cord lesions, posterior spinal cord lesions, and anterior spinal cord lesions. Scalloping vertebrae
273-412: A central cavity, the central canal . Adjacent to each vertebra emerge spinal nerves . The spinal nerves provide sympathetic nervous supply to the body, with nerves emerging forming the sympathetic trunk and the splanchnic nerves . The spinal canal follows the different curves of the column; it is large and triangular in those parts of the column that enjoy the greatest freedom of movement, such as
364-449: A curve, convex forward, that begins at the axis (second cervical vertebra) at the apex of the odontoid process or dens and ends at the middle of the second thoracic vertebra; it is the least marked of all the curves. This inward curve is known as a lordotic curve. The thoracic curve, concave forward, begins at the middle of the second and ends at the middle of the twelfth thoracic vertebra. Its most prominent point behind corresponds to

In 1977, Watson financed the establishment of the band's own recording studio on the second floor of a building called the Western Works on Portobello Street in Sheffield. The "Western Works" studio served as the band's studio for many years as well as providing

The vertebral processes can either give the structure rigidity, help them articulate with ribs, or serve as muscle attachment points. Common types are transverse process, diapophyses, parapophyses, and zygapophyses (both
637-456: A region can vary but overall the number remains the same. The number of those in the cervical region, however, is only rarely changed. The vertebrae of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines are independent bones and generally quite similar. The vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are usually fused and unable to move independently. Two special vertebrae are the atlas and axis , on which the head rests. A typical vertebra consists of two parts:
728-399: A remnant of the notochord. Reptiles often retain the primitive intercentra, which are present as small crescent-shaped bony elements lying between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae; similar structures are often found in the caudal vertebrae of mammals. In the tail, these are attached to chevron-shaped bones called haemal arches , which attach below the base of the spine, and help to support

The vertebral column surrounds the spinal cord which travels within the spinal canal , formed from a central hole within each vertebra . The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system that supplies nerves and receives information from the peripheral nervous system within the body. The spinal cord consists of grey and white matter and
910-526: A schism between the band members characterized by the extroverted Mallinder and the reluctant Kirk that was a mirror of the identity crisis of an experimental/unconventional band on the verge of going pop. Prior to 1988, each member of Cabaret Voltaire had released several solo recordings under their own names, and Kirk had worked with Peter Hope of The Box on an album and single. The band's physical separation — with Kirk in Sheffield and Mallinder in London — and

Western Works produced some of the earliest recordings of pioneering local bands including Clock DVA , The Human League , and New Order . In 1978, Cabaret Voltaire signed to Rough Trade Records . Manchester-based Factory Records had offered to sign the band, and Throbbing Gristle were also interested in signing the band to Industrial Records , but it

In 2009, Kirk resurrected the Cabaret Voltaire name and released an album with New Zealand band Kora called Kora! Kora! Kora! and another with Sheffield band The Tivoli called National Service Rewind . The new material
1183-425: A successful year musically, in other respects the band was faltering. The decision was made to abandon the original Western Works studio after a series of break-ins and the emergence of financial issues due to accounting problems from years before threatened to force a sale of their new studio. Additionally, Mallinder moved to London and took on more of a socialite lifestyle while Kirk remained in Sheffield. This formed
1274-648: A telephone engineer, Watson's experimentation with tape loops evolved to include custom-built kit oscillators obtained by mail order by the time he met fellow Sheffield local and Eno devotee Richard Kirk. Kirk and Watson began exploring the intersection of technology and music, producing tapes loops to generate sound collages and unusual sound structures. Kirk began to add traditional instrumentation, including clarinet and guitar. In late 1973, they brought in Kirk's friend Stephen Mallinder to provide vocals and bass guitar. Some of these early experiments were first documented on

This provides anatomical landmarks that can be used to guide procedures such as a lumbar puncture and also as vertical reference points to describe
1456-416: Is curved in several places, a result of human bipedal evolution . These curves increase the vertebral column's strength, flexibility, and ability to absorb shock, stabilising the body in upright position. When the load on the spine is increased, the curvatures increase in depth (become more curved) to accommodate the extra weight. They then spring back when the weight is removed. The upper cervical spine has

Lateral to the spinous processes are the articular processes, and still more laterally the transverse processes. In the thoracic region, the transverse processes stand backward, on a plane considerably behind that of the same processes in the cervical and lumbar regions. In
1638-412: Is the increase in the concavity of the posterior vertebral body. It can be seen on lateral X-ray and sagittal views of CT and MRI scans. Its concavity is due to the increased pressure exerting on the vertebrae due to a mass. Internal spinal mass such as spinal astrocytoma , ependymoma , schwannoma , neurofibroma , and achondroplasia causes vertebrae scalloping. Excessive or abnormal spinal curvature
1729-611: The Body and Soul album in 1991. The album featured a more minimal sound than Groovy, Laidback and Nasty and was the last Cabaret Voltaire release to feature Mallinder on vocals. In 1991, the band entered an agreement with Mute Records to release new and past works from the band's own Plastex label imprint in the US. Between 1992 and 1994, the band released a trio of instrumental works. In 1995, Mallinder moved to Perth, Australia, and effectively left Cabaret Voltaire in order to step away from
1820-521: The Arabian (breed) can have one less vertebrae and pair of ribs. This anomaly disappears in foals that are the product of an Arabian and another breed of horse. Vertebrae are defined by their location in the vertebral column. Cervical vertebrae are those in the neck area. With the exception of the two sloth genera ( Choloepus and Bradypus ) and the manatee genus, ( Trichechus ), all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae. In other vertebrates,

The band eventually turned to live performance, often sharing the bill with Joy Division , though much of their earliest public performance tended more towards being unconventional and provocative stunts rather than conventional shows. The trio would deploy to various parts of Sheffield with their portable tape recorders and play their experimental compositions in places as diverse as public toilets and on

After Watson's departure in 1981, the group continued as a two-piece until disbanding in 1994. Kirk revived the name as a solo project from 2009 until his death in 2021. By the early 1970s, Chris Watson of Sheffield , England, began experimenting with electronic devices to make "music without musical instruments." Inspired by Brian Eno of Roxy Music , and helped along by his work as

The vertebral arch is formed by a ventral pair of pedicles and a dorsal pair of laminae , and supports seven processes , four articular , two transverse and one spinous , the latter also being known as the neural spine. The transverse and spinous processes and their associated ligaments serve as important attachment sites for back and paraspinal muscles and
2457-435: The spinal canal , a body cavity that contains the spinal cord . Because the vertebral column will outgrow the spinal cord during child development , by adulthood the spinal cord often ends at the upper lumbar spine (at around L1/L2 level), the lower ( caudal ) end of the spinal canal is occupied by a ponytail -like bundle of spinal nerves descriptively called cauda equina (from Latin " horse's tail " ), and

Meanwhile, Kirk remained in England and continued in the vein of where Cabaret Voltaire left off through the remainder of the '90s and into the 2000s with more releases under his own name, as Sandoz, and as a new solo project, Electronic Eye. Hopes of a Cabaret Voltaire reunion were raised when Kirk dropped hints in the late 1990s, the most significant being in the notes of a reissue of Radiation , but this never happened. In

In a retrospective review, Head Heritage described Mix-Up as "a great snapshot of a brief period in post-punk UK when there was a sudden urge to grapple with a bizarre, homemade, hamfisted white dub landscape." AllMusic writer Andy Kellman
3367-592: The album — "Hypnotised" — featured remix talent from Fon Force (Mark Brydon and Robert Gordon), A Guy Called Gerald , and Daniel Miller . Despite the newfound energy and direction, the band amassed significant debt under EMI and the label dropped Cabaret Voltaire from their roster. Released from the label, Kirk began a series of projects between 1990 and 1992, including Sweet Exorcist with Richard Barratt, The Technocrats with Ralf Dörper, XON with Robert Gordon, Citrus with Steve Cobby , and solo as Sandoz.

In 1988, Mallinder collaborated with Robert Gordon, co-founder of Warp Records , and David Ball of Soft Cell on a one-off house album under the name Love Street, and Kirk produced a solo acid house 12" as Wicky Wacky. The band's interest in house music created new connections for the band in America. After trying in vain to contact New York producer Todd Terry , an introduction

The £50,000 advance from Some Bizzare allowed Kirk and Mallinder to significantly improve their operation at Western Works, but came with the stipulation of having to record their next LP in London and making certain production changes to their music. The relationship with Some Bizzare and Virgin resulted in greater exposure and promotion for

5096-717: The first single "Vasto," the album was released on 20 November 2020. These are the first strictly Cabaret Voltaire recordings with Richard H. Kirk as the group's sole member. These were followed in 2021 by the release of a new EP, Shadow of Funk , and two albums, Dekadrone and BN9Drone . Richard Kirk died in September 2021 at the age of 65. New Order lead singer and guitarist, Bernard Sumner , said that Cabaret Voltaire influenced his songwriting, having helped him understand that one "could make music without guitars". In Alan Cross 's 2012 biography of Skinny Puppy , Cabaret Voltaire's "industrial-grade thumping and noise terrorism"

As well as helping pioneer industrial music in the 1970s, Cabaret Voltaire have been considered influential on the industrial techno movement of the 1990s. Alain Jourgensen , while working with the band on the Acid Horse project, observed the irony of Cabaret Voltaire's turn towards house music circa 1989 as closing

By 1986, Virgin offered to extend Cabaret Voltaire's record contract, but EMI group signalled an intent to invest more in the group and the lure of increased resources through a major label proved irresistible. One of these resources was access to producer Adrian Sherwood , who produced 1987's Code and its singles "Don't Argue" and "Here to Go". Code also featured additional musicians including Bill Nelson on guitar and Mark Brydon on bass. While 1987 proved to be

The lumbar curve is more marked in the female than in the male; it begins at the middle of the last thoracic vertebra, and ends at the sacrovertebral angle. It is convex anteriorly, the convexity of the lower three vertebrae being much greater than that of the upper two. This curve is described as a lordotic curve. The sacral curve begins at
6825-415: The streets from loudspeakers on the top of a friend's van. This raucous and punkish attitude followed the band onstage to great effect; their first live concert in May 1975 ended in a fight between the band and the audience that sent Mallinder to hospital. In another incident, Mallinder was hospitalised with a chipped backbone after objects were thrown at the band. However, the arrival of punk rock brought
6916-416: The tail, and the final few can be fused into the pygostyle in birds, or into the coccygeal or tail bone in chimpanzees (and humans ). The vertebrae of lobe-finned fishes consist of three discrete bony elements. The vertebral arch surrounds the spinal cord, and is of broadly similar form to that found in most other vertebrates. Just beneath the arch lies a small plate-like pleurocentrum, which protects
7007-415: The tail. The general structure of human vertebrae is fairly typical of that found in other mammals , reptiles , and birds ( amniotes ). The shape of the vertebral body does, however, vary somewhat between different groups. In humans and other mammals, it typically has flat upper and lower surfaces, while in reptiles the anterior surface commonly has a concave socket into which the expanded convex face of
7098-419: The total number of vertebrae ranges from 32 to 35. In about 10% of people, both the total number of pre-sacral vertebrae and the number of vertebrae in individual parts of the spine can vary. The most frequent deviations are: 11 (rarely 13) thoracic vertebrae, 4 or 6 lumbar vertebrae, 3 or 5 coccygeal vertebrae (rarely up to 7). There are numerous ligaments extending the length of the column, which include
7189-524: The underground dance scene. The 12" mix of "Sensoria", co-produced by Robin Scott of the new wave band M , was a vastly improved melding of two of the album's tracks, "Sensoria" and "Do Right". The video for the single was directed by Peter Care and earned significant air time and acclaim including a Los Angeles Times Best Video award for 1985. 1985 proved to be a busy year for the band with numerous releases as well as an American tour. Gasoline in your Eye
7280-463: The upper surface of the notochord , and below that, a larger arch-shaped intercentrum to protect the lower border. Both of these structures are embedded within a single cylindrical mass of cartilage. A similar arrangement was found in the primitive Labyrinthodonts , but in the evolutionary line that led to reptiles (and hence, also to mammals and birds), the intercentrum became partially or wholly replaced by an enlarged pleurocentrum, which in turn became
7371-449: The vertebrae consist of two cartilaginous tubes. The upper tube is formed from the vertebral arches, but also includes additional cartilaginous structures filling in the gaps between the vertebrae, and so enclosing the spinal cord in an essentially continuous sheath. The lower tube surrounds the notochord, and has a complex structure, often including multiple layers of calcification . Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling
7462-409: The vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates . Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region. Hagfishes lack a true vertebral column, and are therefore not properly considered vertebrates, but a few tiny neural arches are present in
7553-501: The vertebral body does, however, vary somewhat between different groups of living species. Individual vertebrae are named according to their corresponding body region ( neck , thorax , abdomen , pelvis or tail ). In clinical medicine , features on vertebrae (particularly the spinous process ) can be used as surface landmarks to guide medical procedures such as lumbar punctures and spinal anesthesia . There are also many different spinal diseases in humans that can affect both
7644-475: The vertebral column presents in the median line the spinous processes. In the cervical region (with the exception of the second and seventh vertebrae), these are short, horizontal, and bifid. In the upper part of the thoracic region they are directed obliquely downward; in the middle they are almost vertical, and in the lower part they are nearly horizontal. In the lumbar region they are nearly horizontal. The spinous processes are separated by considerable intervals in
7735-541: Was an echo of Mick Fish's observation in his 1989 book Cabaret Voltaire: The Art of the Sixth Sense : "It was now a fact that many of the successful funk and dance records that were racing past them and into the charts were using a 'found' vocal track over a hard rhythm, a technique [Cabaret Voltaire] had nurtured and as near as damn it invented some ten years earlier." Alternative Press included Cabaret Voltaire in their 1996 list of "100 underground inspirations of
7826-471: Was cited as an influence on the band. In 2012, Trent Reznor stated that the Cabaret Voltaire was a major influence when working on his debut studio album with How to Destroy Angels . Others who have cited Cabaret Voltaire as an influence include Horrid Red , Fluke and Front Line Assembly . Depeche Mode 's Martin Gore once listed Cabaret Voltaire among his favourite bands. David J of Bauhaus named
7917-718: Was less favourable, writing that "Cabaret Voltaire's first two proper studio albums hardly match the greatness of later works like Red Mecca , 2 X 45 and even 3 Crepuscule Tracks ", while noting that Mix-Up "only helped solidify Cabaret Voltaire's status as an integral part of the extended frisson of 1978–1982 post-punk". All tracks are written by Cabaret Voltaire ( Chris Watson , Richard H. Kirk , Stephen Mallinder ), except as noted Cabaret Voltaire (band) Cabaret Voltaire were an English music group formed in Sheffield in 1973 and initially composed of Stephen Mallinder , Richard H. Kirk , and Chris Watson . Named for
8008-471: Was made by an Atlantic Records executive to Chicago house producer Marshall Jefferson . The introduction led to a cross-Atlantic collaboration, with the members of Cabaret Voltaire spending a month in Chicago to produce material for their 1990 album Groovy, Laidback and Nasty . Marshall brought numerous guest artists into the album's production including Ten City and Kym Mazelle , and the lead single from
8099-517: Was recorded at Western Works studios. In July 2014, Berlin Atonal reported that Cabaret Voltaire were to perform at the festival. The performance – the first in twenty years – saw a set list of all new material performed by a line-up "consisting solely of machines, multi-screen projections and Richard H. Kirk", the lone remaining member of the 'group'. In early August 2016, Cabaret Voltaire performed an hour long set of otherwise unreleased material at
8190-539: Was released that year, which was a compendium of singles videos along with prototype footage for the band's unfinished film "Earthshaker" and other band-filmed footage put to unreleased Cabaret Voltaire music. A double 12" release was derived from the video and released as Drinking Gasoline . The band rounded-out 1985 with a new album, The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord and its single, "I Want You," which would be
8281-469: Was with an offer of a four-track Revox tape machine (in lieu of an advance) that Rough Trade secured the deal. With Rough Trade, they released several acclaimed, musically experimental singles and EPs , including Extended Play and "Nag Nag Nag", and albums such as Three Mantras , The Voice of America in 1980 and Red Mecca in 1981. In the 27 June 1978 edition of NME , Andy Gill said "I firmly believe Cabaret Voltaire will turn out to be one of
