If you're going to change things, one of the things we had to change is to get away from that traditional model of rock music, and we were a part of that.

I edited Big Funk, some of the footage was shot by Peter Care. We were film buffs as much as music buffs, and so there are film reference as well as sound references.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.

Even if that statement was ambiguous, we kind of wanted to cause a stir. We thought that by having the name "Cabaret Voltaire", that with it came a certain responsibility. It wasn't meant to be purely entertainment; it was meant to be something a little bit more serious - and to provoke people - wrapped within an outer wrapping of entertainment.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.

[Kino] worked really well as a song title, and to build into a lyric, and also how we embraced mulit-media at the time.

We were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.
