Richard H. Kirk always wears the coolest shades!

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

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.

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

malocosa, it's a short live snippet by Emerson Lake & Palmer at 1.23

[bunkerarchaeology]

malocosa : emerson lake & palmer

[Malocosa]

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

[Mejuz]

Hey, what's the title of the song that was playing in the background before nag nag nag? Like it, but cannot find it!

[heshter]

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

[Mejuz]

Thanks! Really like it, even though there's just a short bit of it.. Will get the track, thanx again!

[Jiveturkey68]

I love it how Kirk is always just standing around.............there he is!

[TheHarecat]

Brilliant Documentary. I was amazed to see this on TV. Most people I know have never even heard of Kirk/Cabs, John Foxx, Throbbing Gristle etc.

[charlieshakeview]

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.

[Oesktchohova]

@charlieshakeview not pretentious or anything....

[synthetikhuman]

i saw this on cable and i nearly fell off the sofa when kirk came on.

[heshter]

Ha ! Me too.

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

[SpaceIntruderDetecto]

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!

[fstop77]

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

[jermey1]

When was this broadcast? Thanks for sharing it.. It's wonderful to see more of them. :))

[TheMercyBeat]

October 16th! It was one very exciting Friday evening/night, you know! ;-) :-)

[another80sfan]

Thanks for this.  Funny how RHK has a ponytail!

[timeconnector]

amazing !!!!!!!

[TheMercyBeat]

Thank you to heavens for this, heshter matey!!! Undoubtedly the best part of the doc for me as well!

It brought a tear to my eye too. And just like you I almost soiled myself with excitement when he/they came around as well.

Times like these will never come back. Unfortunately. I can only hope they will, one way or another.

Cheers! :-D
