Is that Gillian Gilbert from New Order at the front?

The saddest fact about this song was that it was meant as a riposte to the Falklands War….still as relevant today with young lives being lost in Iraq/Afghanistan

Is that Alison Moyet on the right? She sang back-up on some albums.
December 13th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I meant that in a good way. Look at those do’s and pashminas.
Frank Tovey was one of the best performers ever.

Under the flag was about the Falklands war. For all of you signing up: “the contract states quite fundamentally: the undersigned (that’s you) lay your life on the line.”

The great thing is that at the time, there was no real label for what these innovators were doing.
Today, it would be called early “electropop-darkwave”.
December 13th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
what do you mean by that???
December 13th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
i love fad gadget. And great quality clip – thank you!!
December 13th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
The very 80s backup singers make me lol every time.
December 13th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Certainly some similarities in the drum sound – the winning TR-808+Arp2600+Simmons SDS V combination, if I’m not mistaken ? Sounds great and a superb track, this.

That seems pretty close, sort of close to Wire’s 80’s sound, but with more electronic flavor I guess.

Oh my, Santogold has the same voice on their hybrid commercial ‘my drive thru”.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
