Rest in peace Richard H Kirk

[@gordonhope4648]

Went to Western Works to interview them for my Flowmotion magazine and spent the afternoon watching them record Mix-Up album

[@spider45webster]

The Royal Navy used to send cassettes out to all ships in fare away places. These had all the top 40 hits of the times to be played on a system which sent the vibes out to most compartments on the ships. On the other side of the cassettes though was John Peel, but these never got played. Good for me tho as when the cassettes had been played I nicked them and listened to hours and hours of John Peel. I like the music I like because of JP. d d d do right,.,

I still want the CV poster hanging in Ferris Bueller's room. :)

[@temporoboto]

One of the best bands ever. Thanks for sharing.

[@italoviking1984]

" keep on" is the coolste video, ever. very very nice Video, in stil 1982 new wave syntic pop. i have 12" maxi vinyl 😊 i play this in italy disco

[@kobalt77]

I cried the whole day when I found out John Peel had died, and I certainly never saw that coming. It showed me how much of an impact he had on my life, and how much I ( unknowingly) loved him for it.

[@richardcoleman1427]

Sluggin' For Jesus, still playing it 40 years later

[@kevinsingel7062]

Side note, how handsome is Mal, still? And rest in peace Richard "CaBtain" Kirk.. the endless voyages of the soundship enterprise!

[@diskochimp]

Really good to see Mal talking about C.V. on film for a change. :)

[@ENIGMAXII2112]

Oh yes...... Cabaret Voltaire! I still remember well, listing to them on my very trusted walkman back in the lost 80s. Cabaret Voltaire a very special outfit indeed. Great to hear the men behind the brilliance agin.....

[@ehaworth9]

John obviously had very good musical taste RIP

[@YAUUN]

The understatement of the century!

[@grahamburns6661]

Good to see mal being interviewed,cabs and john peel paved the way for me through the 80s

[@tnimbus]

I bumped into Chris Watson at a bird reserve in Suffolk around twenty years ago I'm pretty sure. Chatted to him about birds for about ten minutes and never realised it was him 🙂

[@luckysembry5508]

I discovered some of my favourite music through the John Peel show-SPK, Bourbonese Qualk, Cocteau Twins, Virginia Astley.

[@regplasma7906]

The Cabs are one of thee best.

[@atomaalatonal]

c is also for clock dva ;D

[@alexanderdahoola8188]

Wonder if he could explain "Diskono" and the lyrics to "Badge of Evil" - in latter song, what does "spelled sell" mean?

[@lovesinvein]

This is Alan Fisch at 2:46, who played drum with them for a bit in the early 80s. It’s not Chris Watson.

[@cecilyjsmusicvideos7619]

So ahead of their time. Cabaret Voltaire so forward thinking. So progressive. Not in a prog rock way lol. But in an industrial new wave way. They are the best at it. Funny how in early 80s Britain became all metal and America had Blondie, Talking Heads, Television.

[@COwens]

Excellent piece, although there is a mistake. 2.46 isn't Chris Watson, it's Alan Fish (who drummed for them from 1982 to 1988ish).

[@tailormade3072]

Love this music

[@pressureworks]

Had tapes of Peels BBC World Service Show from 1983 to 86. The details were added to the Peel Wika.

[@berlinsaintclair9100]

Still tied for my first fave band. Sensoria is one of those tracks I can listen to on repeat over and over (LOL) pun intended

[@rainbowrotcod]

The Cabs!!!!!!!!

[@dadaista320]

Excellent mini interview for a great band, Cabaret Voltaire. I dream about a new record of this people. Who knows?.

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

It's a shame they aren't around anymore. However I bought a CD of theirs the other day which is called Kora! Kora! Kora! (The Cabaret Voltaire Versions) from 2009. It's pretty good.

[@gordonhope4648]

They still play concerts, but down to one !!!

[@ECLECTOb]

Just released an album on Mute Records

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

@@ECLECTOb yeah I noticed that. It's a real return to form.
