Luxuria - Beast Box video free download

Robert MacGregor

The VHS tape containing the videos for each song on Beast Box was also released separately from the Japanese box set as a stand alone item in the UK. I have a copy which I acquired when it was released in 1990. As I remember a BBC2 music programme Snub TV also gave Luxuria money to film a video of "Dirty Beating Heart" although this is not on the VHS (but I have checked and it is on YouTube).

I think I'm in love with him too!!

And another Luxuria video, the title track from their not-as-good second album *Beast Box*. This one should appeal to the more avant garde musical aficionados. Still better than 98% of the music on the planet.

I love finding new music (for me) I really like, thanks!

A 3CD 'Box' re-release in September. Great stuff.

Howard Devotto was a genius from Magazine to Luxuria. Always way ahead of others. Great video.

I was listening to Unanswerable Lust and Beast Box earlier today so it was a real pleasure to see these Luxuria videos, thanks for posting. Howard at his very best! Ô¿Ô

davelympany

can anybody tell me where I can find `public highway` by devoto or luxuria? Cheers!

@MisAnnThorpe Legend has it that lack of sucess was down to Devoto's relationship with the music press??!! Dunno how true it is?? But a real shame....Magazine deserved so much more than they got charts wise....Really like the Luxuria sound and how diverse has Noko's career been?? The Cure, The Banshees, Luxuria, Apollo 440, Magazine etc etc...................

MisAnnThorpe

Is it just me or does Nokos guitar work often sound distinctly like Hank Marvins? Unfortunately for Devoto, I can't help thinking his non pop star looks really worked against him. If he'd only been born a generation later, that wouldn't have mattered. It's not as if his ugliness has ever done Robbie Williams any harm, is it? Come to think of it, neither has his complete lack of talent! Certainly says a hell of a lot for Stephen Duffy that he actually managed to make that idiot sound quite good.

@MisAnnThorpe Thanks for attempting to answer my stupid and unanswerable question! But you have managed to confirm what I guess I've probably always known; I need to get Beast box!

@MisAnnThorpe Well, it's really all down to taste, whether you'll like it or not. I think the album is definitely more of an acquired taste as opposed to "Unanswerable Lust," which is really a more strongly constructed album, track-order-wise. But it is a DEFINITE must to listen to, I must say. My favorite song of all time, "I've Been Expecting You," is on it. It is definitely a worthwhile album that deserved more fanfare than it got. But that's unfortunately the norm for Devoto's work.

MisAnnThorpe

@cinnmcrickson I've never heard the Beast Box LP, in fact I've never even seen it! Something tells me it's not as good as Unanswerable Lust (maybe this track). Would I be right or wrong in my assumption?

Miki Loarte

Great song!

There is a video for every song on the "Beast Box" album. Luxuria's two albums, "Unanswerable Lust" and "Beast Box" were released in a special Japanese box set containing Howard Devoto's book of lyrics and a VHS with all of the videos from the "Beast Box" album. Sadly, only this video and the video for the single "Redneck" from the first album have shown up on youtube. I would kill to see the others, but that box set is just so expensive and rare.

Nemesis Quill

I don't know who the woman is. But there is a song called that, yes..

metyyra

can someone tell me who is the woman in the video? Have I been dreaming or is there a video of "Beastbox is dreaming"?
