"Due to popular demand, we have decided to do a limited repress of our tenth release by Blackpool band Das Kabinette. They were known mainly for their underground hit 'The Cabinet,' which was originally released as a 7" single in 1983, and later appeared on
The Minimal Wave Tapes: Volume 1
in 2010. The song is inspired by the 1920 classic silent horror film
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
, a highly influential film of the German expressionistic era. The film is themed around: the madness of society, the inner workings of the human mind, and the paranoia of a country in the aftermath of a war. Fascinated and inspired by both the themes and visuals of the film, Das Kabinette wrote the song 'The Cabinet' during their second visit to the studio in 1983, and self-released it later that year on their own Klosette Records label. They also created a primitive video whilst at art college, to go along with the song. 'The Cabinet' was aired on BBC Radio 1 on several occasions and was a solid underground hit. Unfortunately the band dissolved several years later. We made contact with them in 2007 and aside from re-mastering the 7" single tracks, culled together a collection of unreleased studio tracks. Those were then released in January 2008 as
Spy Thriller
. The record sold out quickly soon after. Finally, we present to you a repress of
Spy Thriller
on 180 gram ultra clear vinyl, limited to 500 hand numbered copies complete with a heavy weight die-cut matte jacket, with a printed inner sleeve which shows through the window."
