Farewell to Richard H Kirk (1956-2021) of legendary Sheffield band Cabaret Voltaire. Connecting the experimental side of Roxy Music with William S Burrough's cut up techniques, their The Voice of America (1980) and Red Mecca (1981) remain utter gems of exploratory sound today.

Cabaret Voltaire - Voice Of America (Celebration)

From the Granada arts program 'Celebration', broadcast in 1980. Unfortunately the Cabs were at the end of the program and cut short somewhat.

@robinrimbaud Cabaret Voltaire just released their first new music in over 25 years and now this happens? What a huge loss for Industrial, Electronic and Experimental music, can't believe it.
