Double Vision Presents Cabaret Voltaire DVD release on The Grey Area/Mute Oct. 4th in the UK, and Oct. 5 in North America.

On its original release in 1982, "Double Vision Presents Cabaret Voltaire" was one of the first independent long form videos ever made and features fourteen visual representations of Cabaret Voltaire tracks including 'Nag Nag Nag', 'Obsession' and 'Diskono'.

The communications company Double Vision was founded by Cabaret Voltaire and Paul Smith in 1982, initially as a vehicle for this particular release but also with a view to releasing affordable music based video for a fraction of the price.

Further releases included Throbbing Gristle, Derek Jarman, The Residents, Einsturzende Neubauten, Chris and Cosey (cti), 23 Skidoo, Tuxedomoon and many others. To help finance and compliment the video releases, records by Cabaret Voltaire, Chakk, Lydia Lunch, Arto Lindsay, Clock dva, The Hafler Trio and Eric Random helped to turn it into a forward thinking record label which organised various audio visual events and club nights around England. The label continued throughout the 80's and left behind an interesting legacy of experimental visual arts and music.

Also to be released by Mute in October, Laibach Anthems, a special 2CD hardbook package featuring the best of Laibach's anthemic songs, previously unreleased material and a 40 page booklet containing paintings, photographs and writing on the band by Alexei Monroe. A DVD is scheduled for release later in the month, and Laibach will tour North America in November for the first time in more than six years. Check here for dates.
