Rest in peace, Kirky. Man this one hurt. Ground-breaking pioneers. They were making proto-techno in the late 70s/early 80s. I used to LOVE them, they helped me thru a very difficult childhood. Wracked with pain, they offered me an oasis of happiness, a sliver of solace. Growing up in the states, I remember the fight, the battle, to try to get our hands on ONE MORE hard to find import 12" single or album of theirs. But u know what? The work that it took made it all the sweeter when we finally got it onto our turntable. Man were those times great. But now, one-by-one, the lights are going out, we are leaving the party. So sad, but those that experienced them will cherish those days in our hearts forever, and sip the memories like fine wine that has aged well. Thanks for all the good times Kirk and Mallinder. Legends.

RIP Richard H. Kirk, one of my adolescence heroes. With Sheffield always in my heart

Makes me extremely proud to be from Sheffield. Music capitol of England. Sheff was well bleak in the 70's/80's.

Forever Richard will be remembered

Rip Richard . Thanks for all the noise

RIP Richard H Kirk. Another true pioneer gone.

Rest in peace Kirk.. Know that through your music you made the world a better place and when you left it!🎹🎧💫💀😵👌😎👍😔🙏✋✌

Glad I lived through the revolution in electro musik,seen and heard it all from 70s to 80s 90s and beyond,cabs,clock dva,human league all at the helm .

Thank you Richard a.k.a "CaBtain Kirk " for all the endless sound voyages. And Mal is still one of the most handsome "frontmen" ever. Good God, those lips! ;)

RIP Richard H. Kirk

It makes me so very sad that you're gone but one thing is for sure you will stay in my heart forever,thank you very much Richard H Kirk(R.I.P.)

RIP A pioneer, in all his various guises.

My favorite part of this pretty well done doc. The Cabs were a huge influence on my whole philosophy of how the world operates. They were frankly the best thing to come out of that movement in the UK. Glad to see they got the credit they deserve finally. To me Kraftwerk, CV and Front 242 defined my idea of "music" . Funny how many people were first drawn to synths by W.Carlos "Clockwork Orange" OST, as I was! cool . Yeah I guess SF and Carlos kick started the obsession!

Simply one of the best documentaries about early days of electronic music ever made!!! Period. Game over man.

How come they didn't put This Heat in this. 24 Track Loop is amazing and wonderfully timeless. You just cannot place the thing decade-wise!

Richard H. Kirk always wears the coolest shades!

Looks such a happy chap 😀🙂

RIP

Going on something of a Richard H Kirk surf through KZfaq at the moment and there's so much on here that just jumps out at you as above and beyond its time. Fascinating to hear him talk about the rise of the right back in the 80's and here we are in 2021 still dealing with the same paranoias only now it's gone mainstream. I wish he was still here to document it but then perhaps it's for someone else to go there now. RIP bro, you've left behind a vast, fascinating legacy for a new generation to pick over. Proud to have been a witness to your career.

RIP :(

Brilliant artist was RHK. Love his stuff.

When will we see a full documentary about this seminal project called Cabaret Voltaire?…. After Richard passing I fear we won’t have one…

RIP RHK

the first band i ever saw was the cabs in june 82.day i left school.visionaries.

All ready one year ago Richard left this planet .

Thanks for this. Funny how RHK has a ponytail!

Ha ! Me too. There've been hardly any shots of Kirk on the net, so hadn't seen him for nearly 2 decades.

Its sad . I hope his work gonna be rereleased and not only the Cabs . Rest in peace RHK

great stuff here thnx YT

That's "Seconds Too Late", it's on the aptly named Living Legends compliation.

Even Caberet's Nag nag Nag video from back in the late 70s beats most of the videos playing today because of its simplicity and it doesn't try too hard.

0:46 Cameraman knows what he's doing.

love richards obscurity ,whens he coming to edinburgh

It's grim oop north. Ey oop, luv t'Cabaret Voltaire :D

Sheffield was not quite as bleak or rough as Manchester or Hackney in the 70s or even Detroit, Cleveland South side of Chicago or some of the other grey rustbelt cities in the U.S where Industrial/Electronica also thrived. However those type of places and the atmosphere seem to be the perfect setting for this type of music.

Cabaret Voltaire is featured in our upcoming documentary Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay www.industrialsoundtrack.com facebook.com/IndustrialSoundtrackForTheUrbanDecay

anyone know who is featured at 1:23 when Richard refers to Prog Rock having some elements of electronic music?

The Cabs captured the insanity of the global right wing so well with their music. Massive influence on my taste & worldview as a filmmaker.

@granoj1 That'll be Seconds Too Late by Cabaret Voltaire.

@weejunguy That'll be Landslide from Red Mecca

ELP... the "enemy" at that time

I listen to Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Monte Cazzaza, and everything from Industrial Records. Why do you want most of the people to listen to it? Its better to keep it as underground music because it was made to be anti-pop. Why? Because its music from real artist not fakes.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer, probably the proggest prog band ever!

HEEEEEEEE-YULLLLLLL-LEH! In the naayyme of Jeeee-zussssssss!

4:49 to 4:53 ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa x D

3:38

anybody ID the first track after Clockwork Orange theme?

+

What's the band at 1:24?

What's the name of the track that's played over the London race riots sequence ?

Sheffield looks deeply depressing? Never been, maybe I am wrong
