Still listen to The Crackdown which I bought when it first came out. Voice of America and Sheffield 78-82 followed a couple of years later with Microphones in 84/5 but never managed to get Red Mecca or Sword of. CV were my idols despite being very into goth. Of course it all makes sense now with Killing Joke and CV members merging with Ministry and all merging to create Pigface. I guess it was all great art that I was lucky enough to recognise. As the black sheep of my family I was hated and kicked out at 17. My family were all tories and I rebelled. I dont why I was the one who was consienscious but I'm glad I did but was so persecuted/ridiculed for my ear rings and dyed hair before they made me homeless. Sometimes my only company was my music so, big, big love peace and light to all my idols as they made sense out of the madness and gave my rebellion integrity. Had it not been for post punk/industrial I would have taken my life.
Freaking wow.... My daughter just shared this with me.... Instantly I liked it. Which may grow to love real soon. My fave music is Post Punk and there's so much out there I didn't get to hear back in the early 80s. Whatever I could find, I am still in love with it now 🎵💖🎶
This has to be one of the coolest fucking songs ever written. I love how Mallinder was always super content with looking dead into the camera lens. It makes it so personal.
Blew my head off when I first heard this 81. That fat synth bass heavy sound is not out of place right now. What's the aural equivalent of a visionary? 😎 These guys are it
The best live visual of just fascination ever , love em met em respect em met mal last year at aston uni birmingham good day wish mal whould get back with r h kirk what whould it sound like
Have loved this version for a long long time. Sooooo much better than the album or 7/12” versions. Sorry. But this really beats them for overall sound and feel. And then add The video and it’s dead awesome
Back again because not only is this a brilliant track and I love it I finally heard the recorded version and I think I like this live version better!!! THAT in itself is amazing for any band!❤
sorry, but this one has reached #31 in UK. who the hell knows this track today? as traecy43 says "The masses don't know anything about CV they're clueless."
One of the few products of the 80s that doesn't sound vile today. Going to see them at the Devil's Arse in the peak district in April. Just Richard H and brand new material but it should be fascinating...
Thanks for that. I saw them at the Electric ballroom in Camden Town about that time. Their supporting bill was two short films, Un Chien Andalou by Luis Bunuel and Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger.
Oh! Thank you for this information!!! Man if I’d heard this in ‘83 I would have loved it like I just fell in love with this year!!! Freaking amazing sounds❤
Io devo ringraziare il mio grande amico G. D. F. ( Non intendere Guardia Di Finanza... NdA) , uno dei più grandi collezionisti in tutti i sensi dei Cabaret Voltaire in Italia per avermeli fatti conoscere....
If you love these try Clock DVA, Tones on Tail and Simple Minds 2nd 3rd Albums. Then Faust Neu and Can Then Matt Johnson's Burning Blue Soul 😁😁🎵🎵 But it's hard to think of anyone who is even close even 40 years later. They are known as the Godfathers of Electro for good reason !!

RIP Richard H. Kirk
Amazing band - a pure joy to listen to...
This is simply a brilliant and ultracool performance. Just Fascination is a masterpiece of the 80s.
Guitar is SICK 💕🎶💯🎵 great "new" music for me
dont think I wouldve got through the 80s without cabs music
Lots of cool bands back then, the underground was absolutely awesome, the mainstream not nearly as interesting.
'Slipping into new disguise. Your eyes know, your body lies. This fascination...' Still sounds amazing!!!
One of the best albums of 1983.

I am still facinated.

Its just good
I take it back, its not just good, its incredible. My personal favourite. Natch.
This was a great show in their prime days. LOVE CV
Decades ahead of everything, even today!
I bought this album in the. mid 80s when I was still at school. Then I had an early divorce in my late 20s and bought Slipknot cd's,

Bloody hell, this performance takes me back. Blown away then, blown away now ❤.

Can't believe how few views this has. Totally seminal piece of music.
What doyou want peeps to say? Missed it? Yeah, But?
The masses don't know anything about CV they're clueless.
I think I've made up for it because I've watched this video countless times.

Tom Mills loved the Industrial Age 👍
If you don't have a copy, buy the crackdown asap, essential listening

R.I.P. Richard.
great track and performance, with his staring eye's always thought Stephen mallinder would be good in the movies'playing a serial killer.
For reals...the way he emotes with his eyes and confidently connects with the camera I wonder if he was ever approached about being an actor
Never seen them play live before.. amazing version!
just excellent .
Awesome. Great performance!
I do love this track now 🎉❤ my last post was 6 months ago. It’s on my playlists 🎉 thanks bubb❤
CV in 2018 and forever!
what a track.first time I have heard it.amazing
RIP / RHK
still love this
Hokey Smokes! This almost looks like what I saw at the Palace in Hollywood back in the day
I also saw them at The Palace.
Perfection.
❤️🔥❤️
THANK YOU!
From "Switch" UK TV show Summer 1983.

still love it!!
great!!! Amazing!!11
Like a head on collision between Charles Baudeliare and Gary Numan... O_O
Dark. Creepy. ....but somehow funky.
this is music
Top notch
This music doesn't age
used on long way home drives from clubs far away...
Sensoria sounds like 👍
Io devo ringraziare il mio grande amico G. D. F. ( Non intendere Guardia Di Finanza... NdA) , uno dei più grandi collezionisti in tutti i sensi dei Cabaret Voltaire in Italia per avermeli fatti conoscere....
dalla solita citta inglese viene un altro gruppo ,che fa sempre genere cabaret v penso che tu gli conosca clockdva
Mallinder is so hot ugggh
He is... Is it weird that I have a thing for Kirky though?
Just like you and Sophia.
RIP RHK
i cherish the records i managed to buy way back then ---never seen aLife
anybody know what bass Stephen is using here?
If there is any band that steered my musical taste away from the mainstream the Cabs are it.
rip rhk
Who's the drummer?
What date is this?
It's about 1982/1983

1983, I think on The Tube. I still have the recording of this on my Betamax video!
@@Erniesmt9 I love the official video for this song, even though there's something wrong with the sound on one side for the first 20 or 30 seconds.
@@ajs41 Likewise, and yes that's been bothering me for years. I've often wandered if there's a cleaned-up version.
In a way, isn't t good, that only so few get this?
The Cabs were cutting edge and visionary for so many years… but now they’re just a mostly forgotten 80’s footnote
I love everything about this. Except the mix. Bass is too low.
