Cabaret Voltaire - Slow Boat To Thassos

[stoneman587]

I still have the video album as well as Drinking Gasoline on vinyl. To be honest, some of Cabaret Voltaires best tracks are the instrumental ones. Atmospheric and at times unsettling (the Johnny Yesno soundtrack).

Around 5:00 the Captain is wondering where his slow boat went ?"Couldnt be that far for a slow boat.." he wonders whilst heading for the nearest bar.

[cometothesabbat]

Crazy that this VHS still hasn't made it to DVD...

[TheMercyBeat]

The heads at EMI will never learn a lesson right! Blame them for that the most! :I :I :I :I .I

well i am from thassos.... its a great place,its my paradise :)

[TheMercyBeat]

Lucky you!

I just deeply hope I'll visit it one day. Never been to it yet. Sadly. It is one of the must-see places for me.

[scrapthrall]

Been there a year ago...Paradise indeed!

That waterfall in the valley with those hollow trees was like a surreal painting...it still pops up in my dreams now and then.

[TheMercyBeat]

This "song" always makes me want to release everything out of myself being in the state I just can't describe at all everytime I listen to it. The video just adds a whole lot more to that. Slow, slow, very slow...

[jermey1]

Like an out of body experience?

[TheMercyBeat]

Yup. You do know the feeling when something's pending deep inside of you, then rises up and when it gets to the highest point i.e. the end just expoldes. THIS is the right feeling I get when I listen to this "song". It is such a relief I can't describe at all either.

[fotopraktica]

Wow ..a really rare Cabaret Voltaire video i don't think i would ever see this on a music video channel ,thanks for posting this !!

It looks like they shot this video the same time they shot the video for "big funk" which was also filmed in Greece ?

[thornhillcorp]

Both videos are from 'Gasoline in Your Eye' so this is more than likely... ;-)

[TheMercyBeat]

"Gasoline In Your Eye" VHS was filmed in England, Holland, West Germany, East Germany, Spain, Greece, Japan and North Africa. Says so at its beginning.

Bought this video, been to Thassos too ! Love both of 'em.
