In 1987, when I was 15, a cool older guy of 17, who drove a green AMC Gremlin and wore combat boots, made me a mixtape with this song on it. It also included Yaz, Soft Cell, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and other "alternative" bands that I wasn't that familiar with at the time. I listened to that tape for years. Man, I wish I still had it.
London 1983 with my best friend Darren. We're from Los Angeles. Had the time of ours lives- Smiths, Devoto, Echo...And my 21st bday at Heaven. RIP Darren. Miss you dearly ❤
Gary Numan and Kraftwerk were ahead of their time too, and even The Buggles were important as Dire Straits that made MTV possible. (It was not an easy feat behind-the-scenes.)
Best version of this song that I’ve heard. These chaps helped to pioneer the “industrial” sound, years ahead of it becoming a recognized musical genre. Quite innovative.
@@JohonnacI'm sure it was the director's decision. Because he was fascinated with the British new wave that at that time reigned on the charts, radio and television in the United States.
The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord was the second CD I ever bought. The first was Black Celebration. I'm still playing those shiny holograms and loving it!
I was 18 when this song came out. I had just graduated from high school! I used to drive a 1972 Chevy Van with shag carpet. LOL I used to blast this song in my van.
I'm even later! They've got the coolest name bar none and I've been meaning to check them out for the last thirty-odd years. They have not disappointed
This songs were played in the usual club program, in the Jabuka club (Apple) in Zagreb, Croatia, during the eighteenth. I was there, in that club, almost every Friday and Saturday, from 1985 to 199x... It was a great atmosphere, music and brotherhood... Time has passed, the memories are still alive. Although, some of us are no longer alive.
I was 20 years old in 1985 ! On a wet Thursday night 2 mates took me on a trip to a club not known to those who would in 3 years que to worship at the altar of the Hacienda Manchester ! In 85 it was The underground music scene of modern music this was my intro. To a band that was out there ! Cabaret Volltare ! On a 100 K rig ! I bow my head to the sound of Northern Teckno as good now as then !! Respect ☯️.
@Mitchell Davis... Cheers for jumping in here with that bit of info! I was just about to ask. Off to look into Peter Care, his work(s). He did a fantastic job on this one, especially. : )
I remember seeing that but the early volataire is the album I bought got into them with skinny puppy first the opened up for the first wave pioneers with TG and industrial
This video still holds up, proving how ahead of their time Cabaret Voltaire were.The distorted guitar and disembodied vocals were so CV. Favorite lyrics: "Make some time here, fingers free, Keep your hands on your chemistry". Now, where can I get one of those dream machines?
1985 The Exchange Hotel Oxford Street, Sydney. Strobe lights, walls painted black, I'm in black leather with my girlfriend swinging around in fluro makeup, greatest of times.
'83? '84? only way to see this video was in clubs that got the Rockamerica video tapes... always thought this was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen. Loved it.
My first exposure to Cabaret Voltaire was this video on 'Night Flight'. I remembered my young, Midwestern, isolated, teenage self being a bit scared and thinking I was getting away with something - it turned out I was.
kuroranj: Saw this on "Night Flight" while growing up in the Midwest back in the day too. The coolest thing about watching Night Flight was that they showed weird, crazy deranged videos you would literally never see anywhere else at the time, which made it even cooler to watch, lol.
If I can find a dance club that will play this song, these days, I am so there! I can't find a dance club anywhere, and I want/need to dance! Don't let dance clubs become obsolete! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
There's one the best electronic industrial sounds of its Sarah such a great funky sound in the Facebook is so great voice is minute is menacing and it just smooth out and sounds great

Make that tape yourself! Or mp3.
What a dance trac just brilliant

Band was way ahead of its time. They turned me on to electronica way back in the 80s. Amazingly talented.
Gary Numan and Kraftwerk were ahead of their time too, and even The Buggles were important as Dire Straits that made MTV possible. (It was not an easy feat behind-the-scenes.)
Were they, or were they of their time?
Most other musical revolutions may not have taken place in the 90s onwards without this.
Bless him - passed away today . Great band . K
what a pitty. but the future is already there with @subatomicstrangers th-cam.com/video/eL3BgtaRqWs/w-d-xo.html
Richard sadly passed away. Stephen is the lead singer featured in this music video and he's very much alive
Richard at 2:20
Great duo from Sheffield! ❤
R I.P. Richard. We'll never forget u ❤️
💜
Cabaret Voltaire is awesome. Fuck anyone who hates them.
We're very fond of you as well.
Best version of this song that I’ve heard. These chaps helped to pioneer the “industrial” sound, years ahead of it becoming a recognized musical genre. Quite innovative.
I dread to think how many times I listened to the album this is off between 1986-89. I was utterly obsessed with it
I absolutely love & adore this song. Can't count how many times I danced to it in 80's nightclubs. Would be in my top 10. 🙂♥️
So funky and little noisy thing. Very impressive. And voice samples at 3:20 definitively break my heart. Just genius.
I'm glad I'm not the only one recognizing this particular part. Its. So. Cool.
@@DrAnGeber where is that from?
@@bojanarezina2352 that "lurking through the night" thing? Sounds like Stephen Mallinder himself 🤷♂️
only passionates recognize this talent
rip Richard,what a band,what a musician..:(
This takes me back to a great time in my life! I remember thinking it was cool Ferris had a poster on his wall in Ferris Bueller’s day off
Wonder if that’s because Matthew Broderick liked them or if it was the director/set designer’s choice??
Microphonies
@@JohonnacI'm sure it was the director's decision. Because he was fascinated with the British new wave that at that time reigned on the charts, radio and television in the United States.
🖤 Cabaret Voltaire
Way too good to have ever been popular 🖤
Iconic Pioneers thank you 🖤
RIP RK, you will be missed but your music will live forever!
The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord was the second CD I ever bought. The first was Black Celebration. I'm still playing those shiny holograms and loving it!
Years ahead of their time,just amazing.👏
I was listening to this music by Ela Minus - megapunk and couldn't help thinking of Cabaret Voltaire "I Want You"...
I like megapunk too but don’t really see the similarities 🤔
Love this song to bits
I was 18 when this song came out. I had just graduated from high school! I used to drive a 1972 Chevy Van with shag carpet. LOL I used to blast this song in my van.
Love this song. Wish they wrote more like this. Classy stuff you can def dance to.
I’ve got this on vinyl. Old school brilliance
Me too

Good on you brother. You can't go wrong with the Cabs.

this music has stayed in my head from the late 80s :)
Used to hear this all the time on CFNY Toronto back in the 80s. Crazy.
Cabaret Voltaire is great!
God damn, Doublevision/Cab videos are intense and innovative. Even 30+ years later.
I loved my ARM OF THE LORD cassette.I listened to a million times.It lasted for about 30 years.They must have been high quality cassettes.
Me too i had Arm of the Lord Cassette, This weekend im buying me a Cabaret Voltaire T-Shirt to wear on my friday night kareoke bar and 80s Disco !!
Yess,of course,no any doubts,Larsai Larsenai(in Lithuanian language).

Excellent group from back in the day with another fantastic song.
❤️🔥Remember dancing to this …then!
My all time favorite is NAG NAG NAG !
Thanx for posting!
I love the way they film their music videos! :P
oh yes! and that awesome camera on sensoria
Definitely for that one! Kinda reminds me of Depeche Mode's, "Shake The Disease".
Peter Care directed this video and many others
@Mitchell Davis... Cheers for jumping in here with that bit of info! I was just about to ask. Off to look into Peter Care, his work(s). He did a fantastic job on this one, especially. : )
so queerly on the spectrum. not even afraid to say it 👀🖤
RIP Richard Kirk
I have this on notation paper. what a gem.
first remember seeing the video for Sensoria in 1984, it was on another channel than early MTV, but it was the first video that really blew my mind
Love that song, Cabs forever !
Just masterpiece.... Industrial dark electro..
And to think I got into the Cabs from a poster on Ferris Buellers wall !!
really? i never noticed that.. have to rewatch.
Yeah the poster of micro phonies in Ferris Bueller room brought me back here again....
same here
Me 2
I remember seeing that but the early volataire is the album I bought got into them with skinny puppy first the opened up for the first wave pioneers with TG and industrial

KSYM 90.1 San Antonio... Gig'em Aggies!

Que de souvenirs de cette belle époque !
Rocking that guyliner!
that spinning lamp is a dream machine.
This video still holds up, proving how ahead of their time Cabaret Voltaire were.The distorted guitar and disembodied vocals were so CV. Favorite lyrics: "Make some time here, fingers free, Keep your hands on your chemistry". Now, where can I get one of those dream machines?
Great video for a great track
1985 The Exchange Hotel Oxford Street, Sydney. Strobe lights, walls painted black, I'm in black leather with my girlfriend swinging around in fluro makeup, greatest of times.
one of the many many wonderful numbers
Gorgeous.
Peter Care has done an excellent job here!
TIMELESS
Talent and Genius
Had this on 7"
Still sounds brilliant this one.
'83? '84? only way to see this video was in clubs that got the Rockamerica video tapes... always thought this was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen. Loved it.
Unbelievably brilliant
Amazing sound .saw them live mid 80s...still sound fresh..
I love Cabaret
Yes I agree they seem to lack the harmony gene
I loved dancing to this song at Scream in LA.
Amazing track
My first exposure to Cabaret Voltaire was this video on 'Night Flight'. I remembered my young, Midwestern, isolated, teenage self being a bit scared and thinking I was getting away with something - it turned out I was.
kuroranj. Night flight!! Blast from the past!! Yes, good videos during a good time for music.
I miss Night Flight and 120 Minutes.
kuroranj:
Saw this on "Night Flight" while growing up in the Midwest back in the day too. The coolest thing about watching Night Flight was that they showed weird, crazy deranged videos you would literally never see anywhere else at the time, which made it even cooler to watch, lol.
I loved Night Flight!! i remember i had to tilt my tv so the antenna could get the channel 😅
How are you doing now?
Thanks to Night Flight, I found Cabaret Voltaire. Blew my mind.
i cant like this song enough!
Plays on the emotions bro!!
2 people didn't freak themselves, couldn't close the door, and wouldn't hit the floor.
Their loss!
43 actually.
@@aszarek We're up to 45 now. :(
It's like they don't even care what Mallinder wants. Cold.
This CANNOT be disliked, it was accidental. They have parkinsson thats all.
Listening to this via John Peel, those were the days
R.I.P. Richard H. Kirk
This song is epic my God it's epic!!
losing my mind at how good this is
Still listening to this in 2018 👍👍
and 2019
RIP Richard H. Kirk
So bad ass.
If I can find a dance club that will play this song, these days, I am so there! I can't find a dance club anywhere, and I want/need to dance! Don't let dance clubs become obsolete! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
Criminally underrated band.

WOW!!
Seen this on Rage a few years back on ABC, love the 80s stuff
Reminds me of Kraft week.. awesome.

Mensch..wie lang ist das her..als ich im " Hard Rock Club " - Indie- Wave Laden in Mannheim dazu rumgeflippt bin..
Electronic music is the future ❤🎉
REST IN PEACE RHK!!!
Rest in Peace Maestro Richard Kirk.
Goodbye Richard... CV was a big part of my '80's.
Great song,album and video.The Cabs were and still are brilliant.Reg Plasma .
Still such a fucking amazing song in 2018
And still listening in 2023.
The move into dance music after this release was ground breaking, Don’t argue ...(-_-)
Best Era
R.I.P. Richard Kirk 😭
Just missed making it by a decade or 2. Seriously all the best music is behind a band once they make it.
That bass
This song and Album it was on is one of the Greatest of that year and Ever. A Perfect album. Amerikkka missed out something special. FACTS.😊
There's one the best electronic industrial sounds of its Sarah such a great funky sound in the Facebook is so great voice is minute is menacing and it just smooth out and sounds great
So freaking cool! 😲
Good night, sweet Prince
