This time around we take a look at another first time reaction made possible via a PATREON poll with Camouflage and their song " The Great Commandment."

The Great Commandment is not the only song they are known for, the other well-known song is "Love is a Shield".

[@andieolson5693]

My kids and I sing Love Is A Sheild and We Are Lovers all the time 🥰

[@worstalentscout]

@@andieolson5693 .....their 1st album was the best.................''That smiling face''...............''I once had a dream''..............''Music for ballerinas''...............''Spellbound''.............''Your skinhead is the dream''

[@alaind3184]

Most famous german electronic Pop is Alphaville with "big in Japan" "forever young" and "sounds like a melody"

[@mariusmarius5964]

@Alain D cea mai faimoasă trupă germană e Kraftwerk. Alphaville e o trupă synth-pop

[@Synthcronized]

@@mariusmarius5964 Propaganda, And One, De Vision etc… 😊

[@xoxxobob61]

The Synths in this Song are insane! The 12 inch version will send you into Synth heaven!

[@sonnyjames8922]

I was heavily in to Depeche Mode during the late 80's and loved this song when it was re-released in 1987. To me, it was a new song, the video introduced me to it. Camouflage captured the Depeche sound and musical greatness while managing to predict the future, at least in this song. When he says "Realize the man who says anything", I think he's talking about a certain person future politic. I think I know, but it's a devisive subject. Music should bring us together.

[@allystravelcountry]

Every song on this album is a banger

[@Camou71]

True

[@stephanewantiez164]

When Matt Damon sings Depeche Mode with a German accent 😅

[@sonnyjames8922]

I never thought of it like that, but yeah . . . he looks very much like Matt Damon. The song predicted the future, they're talking about the distopian future the world is falling into. It's prophecy, we're in end times. Neverthess, I like Matt's work . . . great actor and singer!

[@neXiumvideos]

Ok. Time for you to discover some other golden synthpop gems then Dereck. Peter Baumann - Strangers In The Night Peter Schilling - The Different Story My Favourite Toys - Life of a Toy B-Movie - Switch On Switch Off The Twins - Face To Face - Heart To Heart Combo Audio - Romanticide Real Life - Openhearted Real Life - Send Me An Angel I Start Counting - Lose Him Portion Control - The Great Divide Hubert Kah - So Many People Rockets - Future Game John Foxx - Dancing Like A Gun Rational Youth - Saturdays In Silesia

[@shannonhailey7187]

Yes! I always thought they sounded like Depeche Mode and a little bit like New Order. Knew you would like it.

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

Glad you discovered Camouflage, another great song from them is That Smiling Face, Another band you can discover like this one is “Red Flag” their breakthrough song is “Russian Radio” but all songs from that album “Naive Art” are awesome

[@RogerLanderos]

I was a teenager when this song came out, loved it then, still love it now. I love it when younger generations like 80s songs!

[@mystisith3984]

That was a banger right? Didn't hear it for years. Also the lyrics, so appropriate for our times.

[@DuctedDj]

Camouflage - Love Is A Shield (12" U.S. Orbit Mix) Camouflage - Heaven (I Want You) (Club Mix) & (Album Version)

[@allanamigo1856]

So happy to see you discovered Camouflage! They are sooo underestimated! And everyone will talk about this song, Love Is A Shield or That Smiling Face, songs from their 2 first albums but their stuff in 2003 (Sensor) 2006 (Relocated) and 2015 (Greyscale) are fu..ing AMAZING

[@Camou71]

Word 👍✌️👌 My absolutely favourite Band. Camouflage forever!!!

[@MrFelis1]

So surprising. XD . Thank you so much for the react of this song. One of my favorite 80s songs.

[@Synthcronized]

“Me and you” from them it’s a beautiful song. I think you might like it. Thanks for your reactions 😉

[@dana.1546]

Everyone thought Depeche Mode when they heard that song. Me included. This is a great song. I love it very much.

[@ronpotts6385]

Another good synth pop group in the realm of Depeche Mode and Camouflage is Red Flag, a duo consisting of two brothers originally from Liverpool England. They came to the U. S. in the late 70s due to their father's job and starting learning to play and experiment with synthesizers in their parents' home. They started the band Red Flag in 1984 in San Diego, releasing their debut album, Naive Art, in 1989.

[@theKarstenR]

Speaking of German 80s bands, how about doing more Propaganda? I'd recommend their first single "Dr. Mabuse". It's something else.

[@MrFelis1]

And also "duel" ;) 👍

[@yomvanhaver]

Secret Wish is a great album from the synthetic 80s ; their cover of the Velvet Underground « Femme Fatale » is awesome.

[@csilva2472]

By the way, I love to see you enjoying so much the music that some of us encountered in our childhood and danced and enjoyed so much back then.

[@jmknight133]

if you want a longer version, i can suggest the extended one, I love the remix

[@kingjulien8699]

The album version is also a bit longer than the single edit.

[@rodbof5624]

Oh! You need to do a reaction to Alphaville, Big in Japan, Dance With Me, Sounds like a Melody, Forever Young, For a Million, A Victory of Love and a lot of good songs! Peter Schilling- A Different Story is a very good song, produced by the genious Michael Cretu (and Hubert Kah on the chorus)

[@borisbrosowski6630]

Oh, Camouflage "Love is a shield" is their other big hit (another banger!). And of course you should react to Alphaville "big in Japan" and "Forever young"

[@Camou71]

Long overdue. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@arkasonus7678]

It reminds me Depeche Mode. So I like it 👍🏻

[@TimothySmiths]

Camouflage's fan site on facebook posted your reaction by the way ..For sure check out Love is a Shield , Neighbors.So many other great Electronic bands to check out..some bit more modern are De/Vision, Wolfsheim, Covenant, Mesh,Seabound.

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Great New Wave song ! Good proposal , thank you !

[@NoMoneyG]

Loved this song! Very Depeche Mode/Pet Shop Boys/Erasure-esque & that 80's electronic sounds are my favorite. My favorite band/duo of all time is Pet Shop Boys who continue to this day to release new albums every 2-3 years! PSB has so many great tracks & a endless catalog of music. Thanks Dereck!

[@dorientjewoller113]

Wow, Derek is descending into the darker side of the electro scene :D Check out once De/Vision, Wolfsheim, Rotersand, Covenant and so many more.

[@Cindy-eg2om]

Yay! This was already on my Spotify playlist long before he made the video lol LOVE YOUR REACTIONS TO 80S TREASURE SONGS! Keep It Up!

[@larsgutheil5520]

Please try some later songs of Camouflage like „Me and you“ or „Shine“. Still super catchy!

[@pierrepy2931]

Dig into german synth music of the 90's, Groups/Artists like Camouflage, De/Vision, And One, Apoptima Berserk, Wolfsheim, etc ...

[@bryanforis1839]

They became other one of the best loved bands for keyboards

[@csilva2472]

Such as great song & band, I was privileged to enjoy all those great bands and singers you mentioned while I was at school. Love them all then, and I still do today. Best music ever!! As an extra, I also enjoyed great music programmes in German TV dedicated to this type of music. There were a gem too.

[@user-pe9gz8si8k]

Love this group

[@slimboy00000]

You should check some Heaven 17's music too...

[@sonnyjames8922]

Good choice, Heaven 17 were great during the early 80s.

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Glad you did this❤❤❤❤

[@tiffanywells8506]

Hi Dereck, you wanna have more german music from the 80ies. So here is my suggestion: The band is called The Invisible Spirit, the songs name is "Contact". I like your show! Lovely greetings from Germany.

[@rgrrolfgruberrezensionen3851]

Check out "Love is a shield"! The are just GREAT!!!! LOVE THEM!!!

[@djkenny1202]

Did anyone listen to One Vortex Beyond on KSCU in early 2000’s? Im a HUGE Camouflage fan. I remember when thus video first Aired in 88 on MTV. I knew the song as an import on Live 105 for several months prior. Had the 12”. Voices and Images was a great album. Methods of Silence even better. My favorite is “Bodega Bohemia”. It was import, Only. They were very and continued to be prolific.

[@jadrankojadrijevic490]

De vision is no.1 synthpop band from Germany in my humble opinion then followed by Cetu Javu,Alphaville and Camouflage.I also like lesser known acts such as Edenfeld,Endanger, Beborn Beton,Celebrate the nun, Obscenity Trial, Silke Bischoff and last but not least Welle Erdball

[@rouguy1972]

Love love it ❤️

[@arsimahmetaj6272]

Amazing band

[@sysyviv7872]

Oh God !!! I have forgotten this band and this song. Thank you dereck 😘

[@upfrontbear74]

Try these German bands & Artists, Hubert Kah, Moti Special, Bad Boys Blue, Blues System, Silent Circle, Fancy, Sweet Connection, Cretu & Thiers, Michael Cretu, Arabesque to name but a few LOL

[@gem3614]

Dereck would have loved being in the clubs during the 80s. Great times! 🕺

[@djcory32]

If you dug Camouflage, I would definitely suggest Cause and Effect, “You Think You Know Her”

[@EmpressTouch]

Camouflage have released some solid work in the 21st century too: the singles 'Me And You' and 'Shine' two examples. But if you like the German Depeche Mode in Camouflage, please may I then recommend another 1980's Depeche-esque team: Red Flag. 'If I Ever' remains one of my favourite 1980's singles, along with 'Everything Counts LIVE', 'The Sun Always Shines On T.V.', 'It's A Sin' and 'True Faith'. (BTW: You and your many classy fans have something very good on this channel. Keep it up!)

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

For years I though this was a Depeche Mode song. :D Love the tune.

[@manosduras1]

B-Movie - Nowhere Girl

[@user-pe9gz8si8k]

Stranger Thoughts is a great song

[@giantballoon]

The greatest song that Depeche Mode never recorded.

[@benspurgeon6273]

A band I know no one has ever suggested to you is: The Kitchen’s Of Distinction, the song is called Drive That Fast. You will thank me.

[@sylviebertin7899]

super !

[@bryanforis1839]

You should listen to this live great 👍 song

[@tammyhastings5761]

My favorite song by them 🥰

[@TheSilverlover999]

Never knew MAT DAMON can sing.

[@eduardojuselinodiazmartine4271]

Cause & Effect: You Think You Know Her, It's Over Now and Inside Out

[@eroloden5611]

"Love is a shield" is also very, very good

[@adacta1026]

If you looking for real insider tip you should listen to "You" by Boytronic. It`s a Song from 1983. A great Synth Classic from another German Band. With 141 BPM it was unusual fast for a "Discotrack" back in these days. Unfortunately it`s hard to find a useful official Video Clip. I think the Sound will move you.

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

❤❤❤❤❤Love❤

[@patrick3926]

Love this song - very Depechey! 🔥 Check out the song Living In Obvlivion by the band Anything Box 🥰

[@bloodlettinggo7109]

West Germany had many interesting bands, who are mostly known as Neue Deutsche Welle

[@tebanjose6928]

Love is a shield please do next!

[@dimahkhan5203]

I believe that this a German version of Depeche Mode. Sound and vocals very similar to Depeche Mode.

[@matt47110815]

Huh. I never noticed there was an earlier Version (this one) and a later one. I think i mostly remember the 1987/88 Version, not realizing it was updated. But this one sure sounds a bit slower and is shorter.

[@gorgophontes]

A few random suggestions... Sally Oldfield: "Song of the Lamp"; Annie Lennox: "Love Song for a Vampire"; BZN: "Rockin' the Trolls", "Pearlydumm" and "Just an Illusion"; OMD: "Maid of Orleans"; Ultravox: "Hymn"; Tanita Tikaram: "Twist in my Sobriety", "Only the Ones We Love"; Savage Garden: "Truly Madly Deeply", "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine"; Roxette: "Crash! Boom! Bang!", "It Must Have Been Love"

[@uweboldt4062]

huhu echt geil

[@sashabertold3731]

Check their LOVE IS A SHIELD! Will blow u away!!!

[@mallory4951]

And One does an excellent cover too on live ;)

[@maritast.537]

Hi Derek check out the 12“ single. It‘s great

[@yomvanhaver]

You could check the queer German band DAF ; they influenced a lot of synth industrial bands. Many great song : Der Mussolini, Brothers (gay hymne), Voulez vous coucher avec moi ?

[@Nico3039]

and one - second voice

[@mikeBlogic]

"Let me Go"

[@Surge92]

That's not the original video version. The bridge synth line (the part where the little girl discovers the controls), not to mention the ending, are better in the original.

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Check the theme to the Original Sifi series The Tomorrow people❤

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Why the hell....did the UK..radio miss this?

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Check out. The. Other. Verstion.s. Razar mix 12,in version...dance mix😊😊😊

[@jordi1967]

Tienes que escuchar a Tino Casal y su versión de los 80 de Eloise. Te quedarás con la boca abierta.

[@christophmause5914]

The song is from 1988

[@mikeBlogic]

If you like German Electropop you should listen to Boytronic "you" or De/vision "Foreigner"

[@erikempire318]

Please let’s have a reaction to Swedish Kite, panic music is a good start.

[@Reani71]

More recommendations for Camouflage are Love Is A Shield, Stranger Thoughts and Neighbours. And another fun song from that era in that style which was number 1 here in Germany is "Das Omen" by Mysterious Arts. But please don't put Camouflage into the same pot with Sandra, Modern Talking or C.C.Catch. They are far better than them. People mentioned it already: when you talk about German synthpop you will always have to talk about Alphaville and Propaganda. Boytronic is another 80s synthpop band from Germany (Try 'You', that was another great single). And of course the masters and the godfathers of them all which are Kraftwerk. And when you're interested in German synthpop that came after the 80s (and often still had a retro touch to it) then look no further than to bands like De/Vision, Wolfsheim, And One or Second Decay. And there are more.

[@paulweiss3818]

Try Real Life's Send Me An Angel. The synth will surely pop your cherry!

[@tonysmith7702]

I did not know Matt Damon could sing lol

[@e.m.b2834]

Hey for a Depeche Mode Cover band ... not bad .... I owned the album back in the 80s but way too derivative in my opinion to stand out

[@jeanclaudelemaire4173]

Fast car tracy chapman please

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Check out 2023 remix❤

[@mattbauer548]

the bands that think that they're singing like Dave sound silly to me.

this was the wrong version !! this here is the right version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6cd3Sqndqrbs0

[@benspurgeon6273]

Smiling Face is a much better song so I hope you have listened to that

[@robertgomez7414]

Another German gem of a group is Propaganda.

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Hi Dereck! Thanks for your react on Camouflage. I didn't really know this song "The Great Commandment" from 1988 (recorded in 1987) by this German group. It's their debut single taken from their first album "Voices & Images" released in September 1987 in Germany and other countries, but ranked in June 1988 in France. I think in France, the single went a little "unnoticed", rising to 45th place, only remaining 6 weeks. It must be said that in my country, at the time, there were a lot of huge French, English, American hits and some German hits like those of Sandra or Modern Talking were certainly the ones that were the most highlighted because they have a lot had success in France especially SANDRA who was very popular with us.She was very appreciated! Maybe for her French roots!🙂😁Her HITS were often in the TOP 10! I must have seen the clip when I was a child, but it must have been very little broadcast on the TV channels because I have a vague memory of it, just like the song I think is also not very present on the radio. In any case, thank you to our German neighbors for making us (re) discover this very good track because I really enjoyed the music! It's very catchy and fascinating when we listen to it. When you say that the song is "too short" for you, it's normal the clip version is the 7 "Remix version because the album version is 4'20. You can find it on Spotify. Not he 7" Remix! There is also according to the information an Extended version (12 ") but also a lot of Remixes on UK and US media such as Extended Dance Mix, Extended Radio Mix, Dub Mix, etc .. which are on KZbin than on platforms where there are very few REMIXES. I also recommend you a German group like ALPHAVILLE which had a very big success in France, Germany and Europe with their huge hits from 1984-1985 like Big In Japan (the most famous!), Sounds Like A Melody, Forever Young which is a "ballad ", 3 of their biggest hits and surely many more. You who wanted to discover other groups / singers and who love the 80's and Synthpop wave like me, I recommend them! 😉 More SANDRA too for your next reacts please! 🙏 Thanks for your great job our American buddy. 👍🇫🇷

[@mikeBlogic]

You should listen to Boytronic (First Electropop Band in Germany) "you" or "diamands and Loving Arms" or from De/Vision "foreigner"
