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.
@@patsyparisi2620 blimey…12 years since my original comment and Sheffield is still bleak…in fact it’s not had any worthwhile investment in the past 12 years…
Glad I lived through the revolution in electro musik,seen and heard it all from 70s to 80s 90s and beyond,cabs,clock dva,human league all at the helm .
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!
Thank you Richard a.k.a "CaBtain Kirk " for all the endless sound voyages. And Mal is still one of the most handsome "frontmen" ever. Good God, those lips! ;)
Going on something of a Richard H Kirk surf through TH-cam 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.

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.
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.
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.

RIP Richard H. Kirk, one of my adolescence heroes. With Sheffield always in my heart
Forever Richard will be remembered
RIP Richard H Kirk. Another true pioneer gone.
Rip Richard . Thanks for all the noise
Makes me extremely proud to be from Sheffield. Music capitol of England. Sheff was well bleak in the 70's/80's.
Been there a few times love the place to be honest. Its brooding. Can see hiw it influenced the cabs and DVA.

Rest in peace Kirk.. Know that through your music you made the world a better place and when you left it!🎹🎧💫💀😵👌😎👍😔🙏✋✌
It makes me so very sad that you're gone but one thing is for sure you will stay in my heart forever,thank you very much Richard H Kirk(R.I.P.)
Simply one of the best documentaries about early days of electronic music ever made!!! Period. Game over man.
RIP A pioneer, in all his various guises.
RIP Richard H. Kirk

Richard H. Kirk always wears the coolest shades!
How come they didn't put This Heat in this. 24 Track Loop is amazing and wonderfully timeless. You just cannot place the thing decade-wise!

0:46 Cameraman knows what he's doing.
Brilliant artist was RHK. Love his stuff.
Looks such a happy chap 😀🙂

When will we see a full documentary about this seminal project called Cabaret Voltaire?…. After Richard passing I fear we won’t have one…
Ha ! Me too.
There've been hardly any shots of Kirk on the net, so hadn't seen him for nearly 2 decades.
RIP
RIP :(
RIP RHK
Thanks for this. Funny how RHK has a ponytail!
All ready one year ago Richard left this planet .

love richards obscurity ,whens he coming to edinburgh
anyone know who is featured at 1:23 when Richard refers to Prog Rock having some elements of electronic music?
great stuff here thnx YT
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.
@granoj1 That'll be Seconds Too Late by Cabaret Voltaire.

@weejunguy That'll be Landslide from Red Mecca
That art college should be reopened in that state!
It's grim oop north. Ey oop, luv t'Cabaret Voltaire :D
anybody ID the first track after Clockwork Orange theme?
Seconds Too Late
The Cabs captured the insanity of the global right wing so well with their music. Massive influence on my taste & worldview as a filmmaker.
Yep. And now its the left-with that is insane.
3:38
What's the name of the track that's played over the London race riots sequence ?
Landslide
What's the band at 1:24?
4:49 to 4:53 ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa x D
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, probably the proggest prog band ever!
ELP... the "enemy" at that time
HEEEEEEEE-YULLLLLLL-LEH! In the naayyme of Jeeee-zussssssss!

Sheffield looks deeply depressing? Never been, maybe I am wrong
