easily the best song found from their little demo, i really wanna hear a full album from these guys, they’d probably make something fantastic

[@erikvernarsky2281]

It was probably just 3-songs EP :/ but I hope Im wrong ofc!!!

[@AndersonHills]

@FossyPickles Man, I Agree 100% with You!! This Is My Favorite music on this Demo Tape, I'm really loving all Songs, I easily listen a full album from them too!! :D I Believe on their work, what a good time to stay Alive 😃👏🏻

[@Kimi-Innuendo]

they have a 4th song, "Jenny", Zeus Top Hits, 1985.

[@BlazingOwnager]

It would be amazing if they'd put out some new songs when they reunite to re-record Subways of the Mind.

[@redblueboy885]

Heart In Danger is the best imo, but whatever all are very good

[@WattuTheCreator]

FEX need to make a spotify account right now and release as much of their old songs they can, i would listen to these songs on repeat for weeks and a spotify release would help them financially as well

[@TickMainer]

They recorded a banger and decided to hide it away

[@meadows-of-sonder]

What are you on about? They didn't "hide it", it simply got lost to time like hundreds of demo tapes do. Nothing new.

[@TheGrapeFairie]

We've got Talking Heads and now Talking Hands. Can't wait for Talking Feet.

[@GrannyBender]

Eh, who knows, we might have a full talking body soon!

[@vibethecat4194]

dude, what if we get a talking mouth next wouldnt that be crazy??? absolute bonkers?????

[@arcitheanonymousbird_04]

Subways Of Your Mind is an amazing song, but I honestly like this the most out of the three songs from the demo

[@BlockKok]

i cant stop thinking about this song. typing with hands. to talk. talking hands.

[@Palendrome]

This is too 70s for me. Subways of Your Mind feels more timeless.

[@Tvaikah]

@@Palendrome The point of music isn't to be timeless. Imagine preferring tunes utterly detached from any sense of time, style or culture...

[@Palendrome]

@@Tvaikah I know that's not the point of music. I said that was the reason for my preference.

[@jaunenoir0]

WHY DOES IT GO HARD THOUGH????????? I NEED AN ALBUM FROM THESE GUYS ASAP

[@My_Legs_Hurt]

Every song on that tape is a banger

[@braeburn2775]

It certainly sounds a lot like Talking Heads

[@VenityGT]

not as much as Dolce Vita tho uptown people is straight up talking heads lol

[@onlinefriend3889]

And you may find yourself Searching through Reddit subthreads And you may find yourself Going through archive records And you may find yourself Emailing old small music artists And you may find yourself with a demo tape Of "Subways of Your Mind" And you may ask youself "Well, where is the full release?"

[@RealLeFishe]

​@@VenityGTAlso, whoever made the unknown song I Was A Fool In Love really gives off Talking Heads vibes.

[@lucasterable]

I hope the original versions get uploaded to spotify too and not just the upcoming re-recordings

[@muffyO]

That giggle at the end is amazing, you can tell how much fun they had making this tape

[@harryhoffer9804]

Life is bizarre. This can be the new theme song to the 2020s.

[@Sobel_Robel]

In an alternate universe they got really famous and got a really good reputation (they were putted in the same Rock Fame Hall as Queen, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Doors and other good rock bands). *EDIT:* and they also published +20 albums, were nomited in the Grammy Awards +10 times and gained +7 Diamond Discs and 2 Uranium Discs.

No

Bro took that “no” as motivation😂

@@DukLoverEKT edit came before if that's what you're referencing

[@Sobel_Robel]

​@@okbutwhatif9905 Why no? Well, I exaggerated it, but I was saying that they maybe got well recognized in another universe. Is just an imagination exercise.

[@monyclair5357]

@@Sobel_Robel Well there is something missing in the style of the song according to the period. In 1984 there was a LOT of bands with the same tone in voice and style. But its true that we only have 4 songs of FEX ... They are good (not perfect, just average good) with each one his style ... They may have been successfull I think if a producer took them in charge, but never ever they would became famous like never forgoten in the middle of the huge pile of bands that existed during the mid 80s.

[@JimSting]

These guys need to put out a whole album, seriously. It'll be an instant hit!

[@AndersonHills]

FANCY BAND LOGO OMG!! I'm Loving All the Musics on this Demo Tape!! 😃👏🏻 I'm feeling Proud to Live and Hear this Oh Yeah 😎🤩

[@jasonbusse425]

Sounds like something Oingo Boingo would've made

[@gaminganimators7000]

Definitely

[@rafal-z2d]

True

[@Alefjj]

Or XTC

[@ya9ya10]

I was thinking Devo - the lyrics even sound like it's about jacking off, like half of their songs

[@AlephSharp]

Or a half speed version of Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al

[@BlazingOwnager]

God I hope the internet finding this song results in this band getting back together to do a full album.

[@Palendrome]

They put out an acoustic "Subways of your Mind" yesterday, its on youtube. So id say chances are good. And actually for old guys they sound pretty good still

[@itiswhatitis141]

Thats such cool music. I really hope, they re release this in its finest quality

[@PedroTP15]

I like Subways of Your Mind but I think this song is my favorite, the beat/chorus is so cool Please release this on Spotify and KZbin Music, also I don't mind buying a CD version

[@Hiushisan]

It's like a mix between Madness and Depeche Mode. And that's awesome.

Bahaha, they finally made it to the big time after being literally “rediscovered”. Hopefully they can release an official record and cash in. They deserve it, definitely.

I want this on spotify

[@jansenbrown3435]

damn this is really good hey

[@c.picker1672]

OMG - now that we can hear the vocals I feel I nailed every single lyric when I was trying to figure out what they were saying. “Blind The Wind”? Did y’all really think THAT is what they were singing?? 🙄

Apparently that's what Darius thought.

@@zappababe8577 Yup - and I could still CLEARLY hear and make out “Like the wind” on this song. Most people suck at hearing and remembering lyrics anyways, so this surprises me none.

Wow, this song is good too ... I have now 3 song from this band and ... Wait, they made 3 songs tottally different from each other except the voice singer (and even this is hard to fully recognize, the pronunciation is different).

Its weird listening to this when you've been growing up through the Nu-metal era of 2000's.. I don't know about everyone here but it had sounds and vibes of Incubus "fungus amongus", "science" & "make yourself" album..

Rhythmically, this is SO CLOSE to 20th Century Fox by The Doors.

[@itzpoizonn1177]

With noone else around

[@thedillestweed2644]

There's a secret heart There's a soul that starves When I paint it black You give me colors back Well it's the way you laugh It's just the way you cry You let your body talk You'll never lose the vibe It's not for your amusement It's not for money sound It's harder than allusion With no one else around Hey, Hey My friend You've got These lonely talking hands See me See you We never ____ when we smile no clue on that last lyric
