Sorry to tell you Brendan, but you both have become icons. On your own right and terms, of course. Also, you could have easily not appeared on any promotional video and you could have pit your artistic impression taking advantage of the medium as powerful as it was way back then.

[@Grithron2]

He says they "would never (personally) appear" in a video - and we've just seen ten seconds of Frontier?!

It happens once in nearly 40 years, that's ok

That video was made before the Dead can Dance we know and love really formed. That was in Australia.

@@richardroberson2564 Wrong. There are two "Frontier" versions: the original demo from 1979 and that one included on their first album, from 1984. In 1987, 4AD had commissioned some of its artists to produce "Lonely is an Eyesore" project, whose name was taken from a verse from "Fish" song, by then the 4AD newcomers The Throwing Muses. Each band wrote one song especially for the compilation, recording an accompanying video. The only exception was Dead Can Dance, which contributed with two pieces, one original, "The Protagonist" and the other the 1979 demo version of "Frontier". The 23 envelope team made, then (1987) a video for this version. The "Frontier" video became a hot rotation one in the late 80s and and early 90s in alternative music shows like mtv's "120 minutes". It was the beginning of the dead can dance path to USA audiences, as well places like Brazil, Argentina and Peru. The 1987 "Frontier" video can be considered their way for an international carrer outside Europe

@@Ignatius1972 wow I did not know that.

[@arcturusk649]

it's quite different, what they mean here is they don't promote themselves, their image in a way of 'cult of personality' and pop media does. Rather their work that loudly carrying them in a silent way.
