    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.

      The Cabs helped me thru a difficult childhood too. I thanked Mal personally when I got to meet him. Their music is deeply under appreciated but very influential.

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

    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!

    Going on something of a Richard H Kirk surf through RUclips 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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