A final post about the releases on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision label. European Rendezvous<\/em> (1984) was a follow-up to the Elemental 7<\/em><\/a> release by Chris & Cosey<\/a> with the pair performing again under their Creative Technology Institute name. As with the earlier release the visuals are a collaboration with John Lacey while the music was recorded live during their 1983 tour of Europe. Once again, I knew this from the soundtrack album (also on Doublevision) and didn’t get to see the video which has never been reissued. Visually this is further impressionistic layering of images \u00e0 la Elemental 7<\/em> but with greater emphasis on Chris & Cosey themselves. Musically, I always preferred the earlier CTI release which worked perfectly well without the visuals so it’s interesting to see that the visuals for European Rendezvous<\/em> help music which lacks the finesse of their studio recordings. The fifty-minute tape is rounded off with a promo video for October (Love Song)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The YouTube version of European Rendezvous<\/em><\/a> is in great condition compared to some of the other things I’ve been linking to; here’s hoping someone eventually uploads a complete copy of TV Wipeout<\/em><\/a>. Most of the other Doublevision video releases including Tuxedomoon’s Ghost Sonata<\/em>, Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten’s Halber Mensch<\/em> and Cabaret Voltaire’s Johnny YesNo<\/em> have since been reissued on DVD.<\/p>\n
