2023 and still loving this classic!

[@rushnerd]

Thank you! I put a lot into this.

[@commodoreclub]

Neuromancer for C64 title screen music. AWESOME!

[@MrBobLucas]

If I was told this video was official, I'd have believed it.. fantastic job!

[@ButterknivesDEVO]

total devo is so underrated

[@rushnerd]

True. That and Shout defiantly have some good tracks, but plenty of weak ones as well. You can easily tell where Mark put the most effort in.

[@ButterknivesDEVO]

@@rushnerd oh yeah most definitely

[@OhMeadhbh]

Love it! Beautiful concatenation of 80s dystopian films (and at least one 70s dystopia) set to latter era DEVO. Bonus Trivia: the Activision Neuromancer video game from the late 80s used this song as it's main theme. That's the version I usually have going through my head when I think of this song.

[@JaundiceJaun]

Neuromancer fans? Anyone? Anyone?

[@ShinoSarna]

I really hope that when they eventually make the movie, this will be the main theme.

[@rushnerd]

More of a Philip K. Dick fan myself. Just bought Snow Crash so we'll see.

[@fisk0]

Yeah, that game got me into Devo back in the day (this song was the game's theme song).

[@MakeKasprzak]

I want to use this track for the intro/outro of my C64 longplay, once I redo it.

[@thomasboisse605]

Me absolutly!!! Read the Book over and over since the late 80s and hav the Game on c64 running right now.....again!

[@opticnirvana]

Awesome Devo video.

[@rushnerd]

Thank you

[@littleNorwegians]

This actually turned out really great. Good editing. Tasteful use of monochrome. Really fricking good, mate. I can see the passion

[@Frog_Cat_]

Films used: THX-1138 Beyond the Black Rainbow Brazil Blade Runner anyone recognize the others?

[@rushnerd]

Very good eye! Only other thing I used was The Wall, one of my all time favorite films.

[@negascoot23]

Frog Cat WarGames

[@negascoot23]

Ｒｕｓｈｎｅｒｄ Now I have to see Beyond The Black Rainbow☺

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Don't forget Blade Runner...

[@KosmischPeacock]

The best song by Devo.

[@negascoot23]

You are a genius. My favorite song by my favorite band...and for 30 years it hasn't had a worthy video. It does now. Thank you. Thank you so much... 👏👏👏👏

[@happymerchant2385]

Great edition.

[@Watanga10]

Honestly one of my favourite DEVO songs. It's a shame, like Satisfied Mind it never made it on "The Essentials"

[@orbasm5]

That was fucking great! Great mash-up of fucked up movies and excellent editing, as usual!

[@Moostar95]

this may be the song that we need right now. god, everyone in the U.S is just split right now.

[@Parnifia]

But it's always been that way. It's just particularly obvious right now.

We've always been at war with Eastasia, and Eursia has always been our alies

This song is soundtrack for game is named - Neuromancer

Cool! I like it!

Did not know DEVO that way. Cool.

THIS IS OFF THE TOTAL DEVO ALBUM. LOTS OF ROCK AND ESPECIALLY NEW WAVE MUSIC IS INSPIRED BY GOD/CHRIST WITH SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES AND PROPHECY AIMED AT THE DEVIL AND HER ANGELS AND ALL WHO FOLLOW THEM. DEVO IS A PROPHECY BAND AS WELL AS BLACK SABBATH IS WITH THERE MASTER OF REALITY ALBUM AND THE SONG "WAR PIGS" WHICH IS A WARNING TO THOSE WHO START NEEDLESS WARS UP IN THE PENTAGON TO SPILL INNOCENT BLOOD TO PLEASE THEIR MASTER SATAN. THE WHORE SATAN ALSO TRIES TO PUT HER 2 CENTS INTO BLACK SABBATH SONGS LIKE N.I.B BUT MOST OF IT COMES FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD/CHRIST. REMEMBER THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD PERIOD. THROW THE REST OF THE RELIGIONS AWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE MAN MADE FROM SATAN. Acts 2:17-21 New International Version (NIV) 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’[a]

You should do one for Smart Patrol!

[@negascoot23]

If you ever get it into your head to make another video of this song, using the same basic format, you might consider footage from these films: - *Dark City* (my personal favorite film) - *Overdrawn At The Memory Bank* (goofy as Hell, made for about $50, but I have a perverse affection for it) - *V For Vendetta* - *1984* (these two are a bit obvious, but they'd definitely fit) - *Cherry 2000* (no, seriously--this is a terribly underappreciated dystopia flick) I'd suggest Demolition Man, but it's too light-hearted 😉

[@rushnerd]

Overdrawn At The Memory Bank haha, there are some good MST3K memories there!

[@negascoot23]

@@rushnerd I honestly think that one COULD have been a great movie... It's impossible to not love Raul Julia, for one thing. And the basic plot was actually quite imaginative and original... Its execution was a dumpster fire, but give it a good director, some competent writers, and a budget you didn't raise by digging through couch cushions, and I really think it could be something 🙂

[@campbellfiles9019]

THX 1138

The dates in the video are 2016. Pretty neat

This is also the Title Song from the Dos Version of the game Neuromancer.

@@heylittlerobby13 I appreciate that, thank you❤️ You'll find all manner of ramblings from me at Day Job Orchestra, and anywhere Monty Python, Kids In The Hall, or MST3K are posted...

Guess it WAS a little overplayed in the 80s😉 In all seriousness, there is nothing quite like floating across the endless sea of banality that comprises most of the internet... ...and finding a joke/reference that would be appreciated by roughly 5 people in the universe... ...and *being* one of them! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for that🙂)

liked for brazil and blade runner

[@negascoot23]

I would pay to see another version of this using scenes from Watchmen (the HBO series, though the film would work too). It's almost eerie how well it would fit, and there's already a DEVO connection in both the series and the graphic novel.

[@Uglatto]

This is probably the best post-shout Devo track, at least before 2010, and honestly the only one off of Total Devo that I can listen to painlessly. Smooth Noodle Maps definitely had more consistently listenable tracks but the production was even worse and Kendrick's bombastic and sloppy drumming was pushed further into the foreground

[@negascoot23]

You know, I wasn't quite ready to put any of the blame for DEVO's post-Warner slump on Kendrick...but you're absolutely right: Alan Myers (R.I.P.) was nicknamed "The Human Metronome", and that's exactly in line with DEVO's style. Kendrick is good--but he's a standard rock drummer...the combination was discordant 😕 I didn't dislike Total DEVO, but it's their weakest album by far...with the exception of this song--which I adore☺️ And okay: I have a soft spot for Baby Doll...mostly because I first heard it in the movie Tape Heads--a woefully underappreciated John Cusack/Tim Robbins comedy from the late 80s😊

[@rushnerd]

A lot of them were hit and miss, but Mark's use of the the CMI Fairlight for sampling in some of these just gives me chills it's so well done. I guess you don't need a CMI Fairlight these days to make samples with, but anyone who did it right back then has a sound you cannot get anymore.

[@lepuke6854]

@@negascoot23 Baby Doll album version is really not that great, but you can find some killer live versions of that song that has so much more life and energy it seriously is one of the best songs in the set.

[@negascoot23]

@@lepuke6854 Thanks, I'll look out for those👍 I've owned several DEVO live albums, and seen many recorded performances on KZbin: I hate that I never got to see them live, it would have been life-changing 🤯 On that subject, there is a concert from 1980 here on YT that honestly looks and sounds like it was recorded yesterday...by a professional sound engineer. I have no idea how they pulled it off😲
