Cabaret Voltaire fans - unknown Cabs track, any ideas?

[Nick_G]

Can anyone help with this please?

Go to 54 min 17 sec on this mix:

https://soundcloud.com/rocktea/46-pyramid-club

and there's an ace Cabaret Voltaire track starting there including the lyrics "Too late to make a special case, too late to begin again. It's the last laugh".

It sounds like it's from around 1984 i.e.'Sensoria', 'Microphonies', but I've tried to find it on Discogs and drawn a blank. Does anyone recognise it? Is it some obscure B-side? An unreleased track?

Any leads much appreciated. Thanks.

I would suggest contacting either BIZAARBAZAAR - [email protected]

Or Pyramid Club, via DKA records or their Bandcamp Page (https://pyramid-club.bandcamp.com/).

They should be able to tell you what the track is.

Shazam tells me it’s called Kind. Which I think is a typo as I reckon it’s actually Kino from a Janice Long session available on this album https://www.discogs.com/Cabaret-Voltaire-Radiation-BBC-Recordings-84-86/master/3601

A version of Kino is also on the Drinking Gasoline EP.

Shazam is incorrrect, I'm afraid. It's not 'Kino'.

 

[Vinny]

try "Seconds Too late" (I've not checked through it)

That's too early - as Nick says, it sounds more like CV in their Crackdown / Microphonies '808 a go-go' phase.

I'm still not 100% convinced it's not a good facsimile.

Darn.

 

[Nick_G]

Darn.

Ricky, your original guess is actually correct. It is indeed the version of 'Kino' from the Janice Long session from October 18th, 1984:

The production is indeed very similar to the official version, but it was the different lyrics that were throwing me. Good to know it's available on CD.

Thanks Ricky and everyone else. Mystery solved!

It sounds very like that; but it's not (just played it)

eta: ignore me, I was distracted by someone coming into the office wanting something (how dare they..)

I was going to suggest the same! He's very good at replying...

 

[zygote23]

Just replied....says it's Kino with a diff vocal so probably early live version.

 

[RickyC6]

Yeah so it’s that Janice Long session version I said originally...

Now CV is effectively a Richard H Kirk solo project - any good?
