"The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord" is a fantastic album.

[@p1sstoph3]

I have an original promo copy on vinyl

[@santiperez278]

Lo tengo en cassette pero ya algo deteriorado,posteriormente lo compré en compact disc

[@marc-ey5ek]

To me, hell always be "mally mally mally", one of the nicest most intelligent blokes i got to know (very well) in all my time involved in the 70's-80's music scene (sleazy n geoff aka coil are the only ones i love n admire more). I first encountered cabs when they supported throbbing gristle at a church crypt in paddington, before nag nag nag came out, they were frighteningly chaotic, but with richard kirk's jagged guitar, chris watson's tape manipulations, mal's funky minimal bass and the extraordinary effects they fed everything through, they were very different to throbbing gristle (for a start, they played "tunes" and did a version of the velvet's "here she comes now, but i could also hear the funk, dub and disco influences they never lost. They eventually signed a deal with virgin records ("crackdown" is my fave cab's album) through stevo's some bizzare management, and i got a job there managing the k422 label. I used to travel up and down the country (and eventually to europe) to see them, usually turning up unannounced at their soundcheck with weed speed n booze. Ive still got quite a few casettes from those mid-80's shows, they are mostly one offs and will stay that way. So sorry to hear of richard's passing, mal, i love ya !

[@sawtoothiandi]

Tapes 👀

[@BrucknerMotet]

same for me (crackdown being my fav album of theirs).

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Understand. This man is a legend (as is Mr Kirk.)

[@ciaranward3559]

in fairness so is Mr Watson, his synth work on the early Cabs tracks is great.

[@unknowgenius]

Total Agree. I would wrote the same

[@unknowgenius]

This man is a living legend

[@pastiellemorel2200]

Anecdotally, John Peel loved Cabaret Voltaire the most, had the biggest collection ofCabaret Voltaire than any other artist according to his family!

[@p1sstoph3]

according to his book, he enjoyed his ENT sessions the most

[@brandonspivey8020]

I can't say how much I enjoyed this.I heard NagNagNag when it came out.Ground breaking musically but what cool blokes .

[@lahaza6515]

He's still handsome. He even looks a bit like Mads Mikkelsson. Loved them up to I want you & then I don't know, but so good to see him still out there.

[@MarsHottentot]

"I think this is the original mix that Robie did" Snare Hit *Crowd Applauds* 35:15

[@fredrikoestroem64]

Not a single mention of their relationship with Throbbing Gristle and the industrial scene. A big black hole in such a lenghty interview.

[@MarsHottentot]

Apparently this is part of a much longer lecture. The link is at the top. Is it covered there? Hopefully.

[@mazigazi]

but that's stuff has been covered to death elsewhere. this was a great deep dive into the rest of his career. good stuff!

[@spectralisation]

Ex-Cab interview complete with persistent electric buzz

[@brianhostetler4380]

Good interview from 2006 - 14 years ago! Disappointed he skipped over the Plastex days and hanging out with the Chicago WaxTrax crew.

[@jonwest776]

I have all of these guys vinyl. Even the VHS tapes. Big part of my 80s. Didn't get on with Code. But that's what tape loops lose over samples. Thank you for this honest interview. I just hope kids these days hear this and take the punk aspect and make their own way. I'll buy it.

[@notrealy180217]

the CMI is definitely cool

[@eklektikTechno]

This is a classic electronic interview

[@Punk_Philosopher]

As concerns the question at the end about heavier US music, an important shared concern w/ CV in the first half of the 1980s seemed to be directing musical energy against TV evangelism. Obviously the DKs are the best known example, and in terms of CV you had tracks like slugging for Jesus prts 1-3. Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" was a literary fellow traveler. Hopefully there are still people out there doing it!

[@phoenelai]

the Yashir video & track is super great!

[@lextual]

LOL! At Sonic Youth signing to Cab Volt record label. "Nah, I don't think so..."

[@jasonegeland1446]

I can't believe how youthful he is here. He looks like he just turned 40. Enjoying what you do keeps you young, I suppose.

[@santiperez278]

Descubrí la música de cabaret voltaire a los 9 años cuando el disco "body and soul"

[@zeitfieldunite4488]

Nice carpets. With Cabaret Voltaire there was not much exposure, for my journey anyway. The advantage of the freedom on record shops and judging the cover and design with info, so i did not discover Cabaret Voltaire until the 90s, then backtracked. The Plasticity album from Hmv. Front Line Assembly released Plasticity as cd single.

[@alexandergowriluk1687]

RIP Mark Fisher

[@jasonegeland1446]

I wanted to hear the songs Stephen put on the player. Does it have to do with copyright?

[@phoenelai]

right where is the unedited with tracks, ugh!

[@DJSTOEK]

🖤

[@g-plan9future204]

70s and 80s sadly missed🤔

[@p1sstoph3]

stephen is still releasing solo works, cabs were also before kirk's death

[@derrylallen]

one of my biggest influences

[@boheem3451]

"We didn' t want to be musicians" - quote 1.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

At that moment in time.

[@alexanderdahoola8188]

Did most people understand the track "Diskono" and what it is about? Is it in a way an attempt to rise above "disco" music wise to create intelligent industrial electronic music?

[@TheChapeltown]

Is that Nina Kraviz 1:08:45?

[@hiddentechno8266]

I think so, no idea what she said the sound was terrible!

[@lovbladkarl-olof3975]

This was great

[@peternagy-im4be]

Sheffield's weirdest duo.

[@brandonspivey8020]

I used to go to Legends in the 80s

[@pigknickers2975]

So did I. So tacky haha

[@xya-j9v]

THREE MANTRAS cabs7cd ADVANCED.!!respect..!//~TueM.

[@notrealy180217]

Why didn't they talk about Code?

[@alexanderdahoola8188]

And what are the actual lyrics to "Badge of Evil", do they sing "spelled smart cell" at one point?

[@philipgolding3672]

Boring music is subjective I love CV but love Jethro Tull!!!

[@kelechi_77]

punks seemed to have a vendetta against prog that post-punks would later eradicate

[@CharlesLoukas]

FLASHBACK

[@xya-j9v]

coke is bad for the body. i don't drink it now.

[@pigknickers2975]

Just the way she said "sensoria" destroyed her credibility right there! FFS

[@gazfunk]

She really wants to talk about New York. Lol

[@wayoflifefutures5017]

a-round 59:03 he is inserting a cd, just before mentions why bother selling music on cd with so much alternative modern media, ref: Global Entity post on Front 242 No Shuffle release and the implications of AI and Quantum path entanglement, who is the master controller when you are online ? And so formats tapes, vinyl's, cd give the protection where the user is the master controller. The human neural network AI and generative AI are connected, many will say why live in a paranoid phobic society with endless security, hence trust in yourself. Upload your own collection databases .Many humans think they are psychic by downloading everything out there on random play. KJ Education or no education will you reach enlightenment from the Quantum history.

[@pressureworks]

Incorrect/missleading title.

[@Fat_Cat_Industries]

VHS quality

[@passionparade]

Too bad they couldn't have had a more knowledgable interviewer. Not much has changed in the world. Still lots to rebel against.

[@pastiellemorel2200]

Yeah, props to Red Bull for hosting the event! Too bad the person interviewing Stephen has no clue what she’s talking about and asked such uninteresting questions and is completely clueless.

[@intrepidbun5002]

bit unfair, i think she did a good job

[@pastiellemorel2200]

Sorry, I’m a total music snob! I probably wouldn’t done a good job either.

[@jackfisher1265]

She was very rude and obnoxious.

[@harrymay2528]

She was reading from a script - and has no idea who CV were.

[@PolarRed]

GG the interviewer is annoying, (edit: Nah! I'll rephrase, she's complete middle class English prat!)

[@peternagy-im4be]

Just watch the video dodo

[@PolarRed]

@@peternagy-im4be yeah, i did, once was enough, nag nag nagy
