Cabaret Voltaire: Yashar

[sizone]

The drumming on this was the hallmark of mid-late Cabs genius. Adrian Sherwood involved by this point, I cant recall. (I think so, he was ahem instrumental in some of the beats).

[Alchetarot]

Goticari imaju pesmu posvecenu Jasaru Ahmedovskom,sad sam izneverovala.

[xtractor8]

they WERE hiding. but the game is over now............

[g1a1h1]

Where the FUCK are they hiding?!!

[darkwaverful]

I love caberet voltaire one of my first newwavegroup

three mantras-red mecca-the voice of america, classic

[rewanji]

@emile 235 I think this sample is from an episode of The Outer Limits, but i'm not sure. Brilliant song, anyway... By the way, why isn't Gasoline In Your Eye released on DVD yet?

[lepumpernic1]

@rewanji yes.. .THE DEMON WITH THE GLASS HAND. i think is the name of the episode.

[erpedrolui]

BRILLIANT,advanced to his time

[joe3barrera]

Look for 2/5 of the Glass Hand episode.

[joe3barrera]

Trent: What do you want?

Arch: You, Mr. Trent. Give yourself up. Give yourself up, and we'll let you live.

Trent: What is it you want? What?

Arch: I want the 70 billion earthmen! And you know where they are!

[joe3barrera]

One thousand years in the future, we conquered your planet in nineteen days. What chance do you think you have in the present?

[fuzzface100]

Caberet Voltaire - one of the pioneers of modern dance music. Such an underrated group.

[schmidt969]

HOT!!!

[nettledned]

HD.. semi detached likes dancing.

[Sirenwiddow]

God I love this version of Yashar. Personally I wish I could just play this song at the clubs rather than any other version.

[hazdo]

Where can you get this version??I'm not sure what mix it is??Was it only available on a video as mentioned elsewhere??

[lepumpernic1]

@hazdo John Robie remix - there are 2 versions...

[DarthTwitch]

Industrial isn't a look, it's a genre of music. Are you high? go to wikipedia and look up industrial music, for chrissakes!

[MagnitudePerson]

@DarthTwitch Just ignore them, they will never understand anything.

[JadedRomantic]

Although much of CV is hit and miss, when they do hit, it just does not get (much) better.

[DarthTwitch]

Classic Electro? Looks like Classic Industrial to me...

[GenoClown]

@DarthTwitch Oh, so Industrial is a look, right? It does sound like old Electronica. I dunno about Electro, specifically, but uh... Not Industrial... Because it's non-existent.

[hoobnet]

It's the abandoned Victoria rail station Sheffield in the 80's

[surfinzombies]

@hoobnet spot on !

[mostroXXI]

Over Here, Ah Oh Oh, Oh Oh Ah Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh !!! OVER HERE !!! OVER HERE !!! ARABIAN GIRLS.... _O_V_E_R_ _H_E_R_E_ !!!! Cabaret Voltaire at its best !!!! as well as the non less known I WANT YOU !!!!! How human beings can have such taste of creativity while being different !!!!!

[tachyonblade]

Truly groundbreaking and a lot "harder" in its own way than the music of metal sellouts Ministry! And absolutely more creative than most of the bands that came after. I am actually amazed when i talk to people who are into "alternative" music when they don't know who CV was.

[lepumpernic1]

"The 70 billion people of Earth: where are they hiding?" 

[huevocorp]

@lepumpernic1 Really? Please, if you do not have anything more useful to say than one of the 4 phrases of this song, don't just write it, gosh!

[lepumpernic1]

@huevocorp Why? because you say it? Oh man... that phrase it's a sample taken from a TV serie... from 1960's... THE OUTTER LIMITS. What's your problem? GOSH!

[Rayimix3000]

@lepumpernic1 Wikipedia was your friend?? bitch asshole.

[lepumpernic1]

@Rayimix3000 Yes... it's my step brother... stupid moron... If you do not overcome 22 years old is not my fault, you idiot. You have to learn a little more ...

[khoroshoorange]

@lepumpernic1

ill never tell.

[lepumpernic1]

@khoroshoorange LOL

[BJORNWTFAKAWDM]

I normally dont do this, cause I hate ppl spaming in the commentsection, BUT I made a remix of "The Set Up" which I think all Cabaret Voltaire should hear.

watch?v=OSfjozSGk3I

[lepumpernic1]

this version is not the album version... it's different!

[SubliminalMinded2011]

I love the "uh oh, uh OH, ah AH uh oh oh-OH!"

[midihooker]

@SubliminalMinded2011

yes it´s very hot..somehow :)

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

FAN - FUCKING - TASTIC!

[TheWindfull]

legendary industrial group.

Love em and other groups like NINE INCH NAILS,FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, DEPECHE MODE, GARY NUMAN, ANGEL SPIT, ALLFLAWS

[emile235]

this sounds like Duran Duran on valium

[CEE4URSELF1]

Without Voltaire there would have been none of the great genre-bending electronic music of the late 80s early 90s, which in itself completely redefined popular music. Voltaire should be seen as just as revolutionary and groundbreaking as Kraftwerk in their use of found objects etc.

This is a record (Yashar) which I bought aged 14 and had no idea what it 'signified', just loved its groove.. listening it today, I am simply astonished by how current it is - it is the mark of the genius of CV..

[massmouth]

@CEE4URSELF1

So spot on there and also bands like 23 skidoo. True; utter genius sounds as fresh now

[APoxOnNordStream]

@massmouth

thanks for your response to my message - my account details changed- computers, eh? don't know 23 Skidoo that well, must check out, I was thinking about the experimental dance music of the late 80s and early 90s, which is where I see Voltaire's influence strongly, whether direct or indirect.

[lauretas1]

it still makes me dance..gr8 song...i keep the maxi version for so many years & still play it

[AntiMusick]

"The Demon with a glass hand" - Outer Limits season 2 ep 5

hulu com/watch/155121/the-outer-lim­its---original-demon-with-a-gl­ass-hand

[lauretas1]

danielondon...i liked this song so much i named my cat after it back in the 80's..still love it

[martianware]

which version is this?

[jamiethelanky]

@xxverde Yes. I like this shit. This is good shit. And I'm gay. Problem?

[DanielBowden1975]

I found it it's called Groove The Planet by The R & sample is from an episode of The Twilight Zone

[SyndromFilm]

We need more bands like CV...

[pescecan8]

(to someone that left a dumb comment here below: MORON)

I luv Cabarait Voltaire.

[njw3000]

@pescecan8 if you love the Cabs that much, the least you could do is spell their name properly! It's CABARET VOLTAIRE. Which is itself a brilliant name.

Takes me back to about 1983. A hot summer in Manchester.

[xxverde]

this is the kinda shit gay people like

[quaxk]

is that debbie harry at 2:35?

[luistownmassacre]

@quaxk Yes

[plainlazy2097]

good music, but these people just can't dance.

[Oesktchohova]

GAH HOLY MIND FUCK!

[DrunkMillz79]

Post Punk Ghetto Funk!!!

[PhillyCloud123]

@DrunkMillz79 wat is ghetto?

[damian363]

Man, I love Cabaret Voltaire. The original version of this song (from 2X45) is so much better than this remix but the video is outstanding.

[fuzzface100]

@damian363 yeah, I still prefer the original myself. Excellent video though like you say - can't remember if it's a Peter Care one but great all the same. The Cabs were so far ahead of their time.

[damian363]

@fuzzface100 You're right, totally ahead of their time and so influential. I am particularly fond of the Red Mecca and 2X45 period; that stuff still sounds progressive and edgy today.

[MultiKanut]

@damian363 Yes, I like the 2x45 version of this better.

[ricocori1]

When I entered the club over 25 years ago hearing this track for the 1ste time, I didnt need dope to get high. lol.

[TWORable]

@Galgo23 "classic electro" WTF? Hmm than what do you consider Post-industrial and especially Electro-Industrial?? Have you ever listened to classic Electro(funk)?? I do not think so.. nevermind good post..

[dannyofthededd]

@TWORable if the bassline on this track aint funk then i dont know what it is

[DanielBowden1975]

Anyone remember the name of a old rave track from 91 with the Logan's Run sample?

[Shadowthrone08]

The sample is from Logan's Run, correct?

[SniperM42a666]

Genial

[Anarch0tec]

This track/video is so good is brings tears to my eyes ...

[TymexPyres]

Cabaret Voltaire is like haveing your brain grated over an aural landscape of sound and sight. I prefer the older stuff myself, but this is great too ;)

[amamuffin]

AMAZING FROM BUCHAREST

[dconflict]

WAY WAY WAY ahead of it's time

[ArticToaster]

Robert Culp plays the role of Trent. Trent's glass hand is a voice enabled computer. The sample "There's 70 billion people of earth. Where are they hiding?" is Trent posing a question to the computer. The episode is "Demon with a Glass Hand" from the US sci fi series Outer Limits.

[Shadowthrone08]

Is that sample from Logan's Run?

[djmellao]

Classic of Industrial Music for ever!!!

[19680606Doud]

I stil love that clip

[Pomegranatem]

Does anyone know the story of song title?

[TheMercyBeat]

@Pomegranatem

I don't. But can try to make it a bit clearer.

Yashar is: 1) a familiar name/surname in the Middle East and 2) a Hebrew word that stands for all - convenient, straight, right, conscientious, fittest, just, proposal of peace, safe, upright, what.

So the song's meaning must be somewhere between these lines.

There you go!

[8jaime8]

I'll sound like an old fart here, but I'm so glad this was the music scene I grew up with. What a total adventure.

[Yossarian1963]

@8jaime8 I'm an old fart also and I'm also glad I grew up with this music. Actually it's still very much a big thing for me and I'm off to Infest this August to see bands that owe a massive debt of gratitude to bands like Cabaret Voltaire.

[caitlinniamh]

Does this come from the same CD that has Sluggin' for Jesus on it -now thats a song(s) that really freaks me out big time!!!!

[TheMercyBeat]

@caitlinniamh

Yep. That's "Eight Crepuscule Tracks" compilation from 1988. But it doesn't feature this video's version but the remixed John Robie's one instead. The original version is on the "2X45" album/double EP from 6 years earlier. The video version can't be found anywhere on the official album/compilation releases. You can find it only on the "Live At The Hacienda '83/'86" DVD as a bonus material. ;-)

[ebichu63]

@TheMercyBeat Actually there are two John Robie mixes and this one (released on 12-inch as FAC 82) is one of them! (The other is on "Eight Crepescule Tracks" as you say. You can get six versions of Yashar as a digital MP3 album from the usual places (iTunes, Amazon, Play, etc,).

[TheMercyBeat]

@ebichu63

Yep. That's correct too, if you start from single releases. Two John Robie's remixes ended up on the "Nag Nag Nag" 1990 reissue as well. Whereas "Yashar" 2003 reissue includes remixes by Alter Ego, Man From Basra and The All Seeing I.

[19680606Doud]

yashar a dire mais c'est de la bonne

[vladhed]

"There are 70 Billion people in the world, where are they hiding?" Anyone know where that's from? 15 years ago I used to use that as my e-mail signature - freaked too many people out...

[lykomgwth]

@vladhed comes from "DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND," an episode of "THE OUTER LIMITS" from Oct. 17, 1964.

[RasMajnouni]

Yashar ישר in Hebrew means "straight true" and "straight"/A good fit

[chrisnoaro1]

been listening to them for nearly 30 years, but never seen this, thanks. this version is also completely different - seems to be a mash up of the existing two 12" remix versions perhaps

[TheMercyBeat]

Robert Culp ("I Spy") - the legendary actor whose voice is featured throughout this song passed away yesterday March 24th.

The song features parts from the '60s show "The Outer Limits".

Rest In Peace

:-(

[EscherVox]

@TheMercyBeat

I had known that it was the episode "Demon with a Glass hand" that was sampled, but I had forgotten that it was Robert Culp's work. He was indeed a legend.

[TheMercyBeat]

@EscherVox

He'll be sadly missed forever. I loved his work, still do.

[theMacvarish]

ACE !!!!

For some reason I always think of this as ,

Yashar's Dream.Bought it as a double

12", on vinyl, LOL. Think NIN will ever give them any credit ?

[aaaesme]

use this in my belly dance routine!

[amamuffin]

this is a really special one, thanks for posting:)

[Mixtil22]

The 2X45 version is miles better.

[MrAudity]

@Mixtil22

Agreed it's like drawing a moustach on the mona lisa

[buxtonfiles]

That in the video is the abandoned victoria station in Sheffield in the 80's. It's not there anymore.

[EscherVox]

In case anyone is wondering where the quote is from "There's 70 billion people out there, where are they hiding?" It's from the Outer Limits Episode "Daemon with a Glass Hand." I don't want to give away the story, but ShortRound is correct, "They went onto the Wire" :)

[IvyMike777]

Thanks! Seriously, I've been wondering that for like 20 years.

[sonicjay007]

twilight...

[a090006]

TWENTY years ago,we went mad on this tune,A dj in Antwerp used to play this record,All newwaves go in the air!

[twigletmania]

Where are they hiding?

[kristo242]

Their best perfomance.

[Zanexis]

To me, this song is groundbreaking, it is one of the best and most original song that I have ever heard. I started listening to CV with this this song and it is still their best to me. It's just genius, totally.

[kristo242]

Tocno.

Exactly

[bing0ification]

creepy track,  still

[Goonergroover]

omg! Not heard this for over 20 years! Wow, bloody brilliant. Thanks so much for posting!

[Jiveturkey68]

No Dancing allowed! Is this a re-mix, its not the one I got on my Original Sound Of Sheffield.

[TheMercyBeat]

Ha ha. No Dancing allowed indeed! Well said that, Jiveturkey68 mate! ...It is a video remix/version. You can't find it anywhere but in this video. My advice to you is download just music from the video and you'll have it. ;-)

[Jiveturkey68]

Thanx for the info I dig this version and am glad I have it now.

[TheMercyBeat]

Excellent! :-D

[neumerder]

They r 7 billion people on earth where they hiding???

[karoloandria]

kibera

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

Inside some copper wire

[DanielBowden1975]

What the name of that old rave dance (1991) track that sampled the beginning of this

[rabarino]

im just starting to listen to cabaret voltaires stuff. what is the best album to pick up?

[TheMercyBeat]

I started with "The Covenant, The Sword And The Arm Of The Lord" circa 20 years ago. But now when there's so many albums behind them and if you're a starter, starting with compilations/box sets is the best. "Methodology: The Attic Tapes", "Living Legends", "The Original Sound Of Sheffield '78/'82", "The Original Sound Of Sheffield '83/'87" and "Conform To Deform '82/'90" - start with them. All are excellent guides to their career. :-)

[rabarino]

thanks alot for that. ill look into some of those albums :)

[TheMercyBeat]

You're welcome! Check them all. But start with "The Original Sound Of Sheffield '83/'87" one first as it sounds more accessible and catchier than the rest. :-)

[percheroneclipse]

Micro-Phonies is basically "their" sound and style when I consider they were at their height of the minimal and clean electronic sound. Their definitive songs in my opinion are:

Do Right - Micro-Phonies

Sensoria Micro-Phonies

I Want You - The Covenant, Sword and the Arm of the Lord

Just Fascination - The Crackdown (does not seem to be on iTunes, it is on Youtube)

[TheMercyBeat]

Although each of their phases - '74/'78, '78/'82, '82/'87 and '89/'94 had lots of great stuff in, they'll always be remembered for the '82/'87 one the most indeed. It is the first one I ever came across too. "The Crackdown", "Micro-Phonies", "The Covenant, The Sword And The Arm Of The Lord" and "Code" - the defining albums of their career.

[MrFichot]

It`s a classic of Industrial music. I love it so much

[MagnitudePerson]

Machine Music-style Electro FTW!!!

[vikesh81]

Man oh Man...... the dancin' is rather like your old man prancing around in the living room to ABBA. Oh Dear.

[angelforfreedom]

Great industrial music...but cheezy 80's style dancing. LOL!!! Oh how I miss the 80's!

[terrorbytepresents]

Great track. I used to have an amazing 12inch version on vinyl of this. It was far better than this version

[ZenkoXC]

what version is this? where can I download it?

[TheMercyBeat]

This is video version only. You can't find it anywhere on CD, LP or MC. If you have the right software, you can download just the music from the video too. There you go!

[boxingfan101]

original version is tons better this one sounds like someone straggle fucking some dumb bitch

[mazokizt]

not the original version, this is a remix

[masterandsarvant]

good video

[AverageDood]

LEGENDS

[DrRocky666]

cv is the best industrial band ever

[MagnitudePerson]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[therealanticrist]

es una burla a tomsom twins imbesiles !!!

[aaesme]

that episode of outer limits was funny shit.

cool video, not enough footage of tasty mal for my liking :)

[barcaowen]

chill - just enjoy the damn music chidren

[ayeshter]

@barcaowen Yes!!!!!!!

[netlon]

The sample is from an Outer Limits episode called 'Demon With A Glass Hand' (do a search on YouTube). On the Cabaret Voltaire Album 'Plasticity', there are more extended samples from this. I have my own version 'Seventy Billion People' at helix dot co dot uk

[emile235]

what's the sample from re 70 billion people in there?

[darkgardenia]

I love this song!! I work out to it!!

[yashar1fard]

my name is yashar! cool

[Poeppi81]

industrial is not dead

[gombie]

@Poeppi81

Industrial has never been alived, it waiting for it's birth... Let's hope it's not ''D.O.A''.

[petefc]

2x45

[djbethell]

Never heard this version before. Funny but I prefer the one I know. I guess it's all down to what you hear first. Cool vid though.

[littleboeep]

Check out Peter Murphy " It cuts you up" really good eighties shit! And Kraftwerk! Long live the eighties, class of 87!!

[knittedhouses]

i love this! opening is great

[asche1987]

the video and cv song is truely legendary.

:)

[practist]

Best song ever produced by CV. I'm not shure by VID(video stuff), but hey this is Cabaret Volataire. AND THat\IS dADA

[doomboy199]

has anyone found them yet????

[sonicjay007]

the "sheffield elite".

[tie32101]

Classic Cabaret Voltaire

[bofflunz]

hey, oh so nice. my youth is part of this

[314noceu]

u old fart

[rockdove81]

What version is this? Its good. I can't find it though.

Its not either of the tracks off the Factory giant single album. Maybe it's the one from the FAC82 compilation?

[TheMercyBeat]

It is specially edited for a video release only then. Sometimes video versions sound different to album and single versions as well, you know.

[cobalite]

2x45 version is better than this one IMO.

[abagail4me]

This Cabs track definitely influenced Fear Factory....without a doubt.

[JustAnotherPunk]

Isn't this the AA side of the 12"? Could be wrong - my vinyl is gathering dust these days, and I only ever listen to the shorter, more industrial mix.

70,000,000,000

The Demon With a Glass Hand.

[dimlocator44]

As one poster says, not as good as the 2 X 45 version. The Cabs wrote the book, all the techno, acid house people etc just cribbed it

[TheMercyBeat]

Featured on:

"2 X 45" album (1982)

"The Original Sound Of Sheffield '78/'82" compilation (2002)

and

"Rough Trade Deutschland Compilation" (various artists) (1983)

[efogg3]

eon or dynamix 2 sampled this song

[helix808]

yea the eon song, radioactive bubble fish, now could sombody confirm or deny that this video was made by peter greenway?

[TheMercyBeat]

According to his biography, this video was not made by Peter Greenway.

I'll try to find out who made it. ;-)

[kinkijim]

Peter Care?

or maybe The Cabs themselves

[TheMercyBeat]

Nope, Peter Care didn't make this video. So I assume it are the Cabs themselves. But don't keep me for a word until I find out the right answer, please.

[kinkijim]

Hey MB, I spoke to an ex-Cab today who tells me it was Peter Care, and you'd hope they'd remember these things...
