CABARET VOLTAIRE 'Dont Argue' video edit 'CODE' album version [HQ Audio] - Video
PUBLISHED:  Feb 25, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
Video is redone using the "Don't 'argue" version from the CD 'CODE', along with edits from the 2 official CABARET VOLTAIRE music videos ( 7" Single SHORT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCHZBv5w-vk & 12" Extended LONG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9GIMLUmon0&feature=relmfu ) and using extra visuals from the 1945 short film, 'Your Job in Germany' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v5QCGqDYGo ) and 2010 documentary 'Honest Man: The Life of R. Budd Dwyer' ( trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le7nRQIC9MU ) in the actual visual sequence order of the tracks original movie audio samples.

Since I didn't have cable TV growing up, for many years I've had looked for any music video off the CODE album. Now that after so much video archive publicly available, to my dismay, I was disappointed finding out that the official music video for "Don't Argue" used the Remixed versions, which is my least favorite Cab mixes. The annoying Tessa Niles female, lighter sounding percussions, rearrangement's of samples with the over-production (at times almost sounding close to something off of Janet Jackson's 'Control' album) got on my nerves. Sorry, not to disrespect the band or even Janet Jackson. But I understand the time frame when this music was released, and how inner promo workings of major record labels like EMI might have been.

I know Cabaret Voltaire have a history of using extended singles for their music videos. I just feel it would have been better they had stuck to the original album version for the video, which might have done better in a long run in as far as the video promotion world was then. Or have done an extended version that wasn't so remixed. I decided to redo the video as project for practicing video editing, and because this song (album) was my Industrial music introductory when it was released. Such an influence, to where I had even named my first club night as "CODE" in 2000.

This video is dedicated to my cousin Milton Santos, who first turned me on to this album (and many others) and to my friend Anti-Musick, who in the mid to late 90's never dug out the original music video from his VHS library to show or trade me. And thank you, for originally informing me of 'Your Job in Germany'.
