BEAT RHYTHM FASHION - Turn of the Century (1981) hi res + remastered audio

[@oliverlow6540]

I rediscover this masterpiece every few years, painfully under appreciated ❤

[@lisaotearoa]

I played my original vinyl single of this 2 days ago :)

[@williamwilliams2505]

How have I lived my whole life without hearing this? So perfect.

[@flippyoneflip676]

I lived with the Birch boys in Melbourne in the 80s , Dan was a bit too genius for this world , i miss him greatly...this song hauntingly lives on for him...it is a masterpiece Love Phil Reid

[@v-town1980]

Beautiful.❤ Nothing like this now.

[@gybe808]

Amazing song. Ageless sound

[@stephenellender5018]

Thanks for for being part of the youth of a young guy from Upper Hutt. Still love this song 40 years later. Made it past the turn of the century

[@gnartapes]

Really amazing that real people made this song

[@ModMokkaMatti]

But is the song real?

[@ctrl1961]

Wow, this takes me waay back. I used to love this track. Had the 7", but lost it somewhere along the way - I still recall one gig in particular at the Pulse - afternoon sun pouring into the place upstairs, stratums of smoke drifting, and this song being played really loud. Haunting, melancholy and transporting stuff. What a time for NZ music this was! Terminus/Trades Hall/Last Resort/Cave/Electric Ballroom etc. Thanks for rescuing it, from Phil Mackie.

[@devthplvnge1442]

this is really beautiful to read.. im only 20 but my parents lived in that era of NZ music and it still touches me. 5/5

[@JohnSmith-ip2ed]

I used to have all 3 singles. Kept them safe for years. Fukd if I can find them now. Along with all my joy division

[@naskivik]

I wonder who made this video? A nice film!

[@Charlesedouard007]

does anyone know how to play this on guitar ? tremendous chords

[@failsaferecords]

I do, although I'm usually watching my own fingers on bass when Nino plays it. It's a droning A string, with notes on the D string (11- 9 , 14- 13, and then G string 13 - 11, 16). That's pretty much the whole thing. The verse is all just an A chord. The chorus is A E B.

[@StoryoftheEye]

[@kelechi_77]

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my life. God.

[@failsaferecords]

It's actually a contemplative optimistic song. He did get to see the turn of the century. It wasn't so bad, but, you'll have to check out the bands recent single No Wonder to see how things are panning out in the next 23 odd years.

[@steadyed]

very Factory!

[@Charlesedouard007]

why isn't this on Spotify ?

[@failsaferecords]

it's on bandcamp. Spotify treats artists so badly we can't endorse their business model.

[@Charlesedouard007]

@@failsaferecords dude you should put it on Spotify and ask for support through donations

[@Charlesedouard007]

I'm frustrated that I can't play it on my speakers as it isn't on Spotify

[@failsaferecords]

@@Charlesedouard007 it's here for free on youtube, and you can grab it at bandcamp too. I'm frustrated bands can't afford to fund their next project because of the appalling rates spotify return to artists while making themselves multi billionaires. please support the artists you like directly by buying their music from bandcamp or at shows. New BRF album out soon and shows in japan. beatrhythmfashion.bandcamp.com/album/bring-real-freedom-deluxe

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

@@failsaferecords BRF, please perform in Hamilton soon... Last Place will always welcome you with loving arms Fail Safe Recs have so many gems, thank you for uploading so much goodness onto your KZbin channel :)

[@ezojanek]

no way this is from 1981.

[@failsaferecords]

What are you talking about Jan, it wasn't that long ago.................gulp. New album coming soon and if you haven't got tenterhook and Beings Rest, Finally, there's some homework to be going on with there.

[@ScottTeresi]

Beach House brought me here.

[@failsaferecords]

Scott Teresi Did they mention brf?

[@luizelo2757]

Hahaha

[@kris2fari]

Your music has influenced the likes of Salmonella Dub , a contemporary band from New Zealand, Christchurch. Pity they have been denied entry to the Hall of Fame locally because they wished to have you guys acknowledged. Not a good call or look.

[@tomsharman]

daydreaming.

[@failsaferecords]

meaning end of last century, not this one. Dan has already achieved his goal and departed.

[@videohumanbeing]

oof

[@laurahermiston7914]

Lyrics?

[@failsaferecords]

There are no dissidents in the homeland There is no Dissidence at home It's a long project with no prospects But I'd still like to see the turn of the century The Market place will survive It's alive Breathing pipes will be free the association will pay It's a long project with no prospects But I'd still like to see the turn of the Century

[@pretty_ok]

Put on Spotify

[@failsaferecords4401]

We wish we could but spotify line their own pockets to the tune of billions while leaving artists with nothing. We can't support that, in the same way they refuse to channel anything remotely resembling support in a fair return to artists. Grab the album at the bandcamp link beatrhythmfashion.bandcamp.com

[@bennyshambles]

@@failsaferecords4401 A vinyl release of the CD (but mainly just the singles/studio tracks, plus a few demos or live tracks) would do really well and would be immensely appreciated, especially over here in the States.

[@failsaferecords]

@@bennyshambles we're working on something along these lines but in the mean time there's the Tenterhook[2019] and Beings Rest, Finally[2019] albums to be digesting. New album in 2024 also. We've not been doing nothing.

@@bennyshambles selected tracks on spotify now. new album out in the next few weeks.

Wow I've just been binge watching Clinic videos which are now of course a comment fest of "Covid mask predictor!" observations. Then someone sends me this and out come the gas masks!
