The early '80s was very focused on nuclear war. It was the time of ICBMs, it was the time of cruise missiles coming to Greenham Common and the women's protests. It was the era of Protect And Survive (The Dubliners have a song about it!). Both east and west were arming themselves to the teeth. There were a number of songs dedicated to the nuclear war: Enola Gay - OMD 99 Red Balloons - Nena I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Nik Kershaw Two Minutes to Midnight - Iron Maiden And of course this one. There were others as well, though less well known.

Also another big change is that now China is the main power opposing the western sphere of influence and the "patriarch" of the anti-western alliance, rather than Russia which has been reduced to a more secondary role by China's side. Also there's no more ideological element to the conflict, pretty much all the great powers at the moment are various shades of capitalist, and economics, trade and soft power play a much bigger role.

Crazy times they were. I'm from the former Eastern Bloc and my father saw the Berlin Wall with his own eyes back in the 80s when he was on a visit to East Germany, him and a couple of his work colleagues went by themselves outside the organized tour because they wanted to see the Wall with their own eyes. They got to the Brandenburg Gate but when they wanted to take a closer look they were accosted by some East German border guards who basically told them to frick off. Every night while they were in East Germany they would sit in their hotel rooms till late watching West German television. "The other side" was just a couple of minutes walk from where they were staying but for them it was physically unreachable at that time. Really says a lot about the absurdity of the Cold War and the unecessary walls that we humans tend to put between ourselves. And to think that merely 20 years later me, him and mum would go to visit Berlin again and we would pass freely through the Brandenburg Gate which by then had become just an ordinary square in the city.

Astonishing record then and now. The production, melody, lyrics and resonance- incredible. Just been on a tour of Liverpool music sites with Brian Nash of FGTH, including a visit to The Bridewell pub where they formed, rehearsed and wrote Welcome To The Pleasure Dome. Charles Dickens visited as well in 1860. There are two plaques outside about the band and him. Brian Nash was very personable throughout, communicated information very well and told some interesting anecdotes and stories about music. Walking through Liverpool en route to Mathew Street and The Cavern in the pouring rain no-one recognised him as one quarter of probably the biggest sensation in music of the eighties, certainly 1984. He does look different now, of course but said he is only occasionally recognised.

This song has to be played up loud. Its one ov the best songs i have ever heard. I remember the summer of 1984 when this was at no.1 for a while on the uk charts. Those long hot summers, when every one could leave there doors and windows open when not in the house. I remember going up ferguslie park avenue on my bmx bike at age 11 and it was around 6.55pm and i could hear some one playing the music charts one sunday out loud from a house near bye. And when this song came on i liked it strait away as it kept getting faster and faster and louder and i got faster and faster on my bike lol, then it stopped at the end as in quite sudden. I bought it the next day. Those were the days. I was very very lucky. When men werent scared to do hard dirty jobs, with out hard labour you have nothing, the big money men want machines to do everything, even if they can make robots to use instead of humans, and they are doing it. But robots can only do so much, the world will always need tradesmen and even robots cant do hard labour. When i worked in a cooperage and seen the way the coopers made those whiskey barrels i had no idea how much skill and hard work was involved, the geometray in it alone was amazing, the way they had to observe everything and think what to do and what not to do as they worked away. It took them around 30 minutes to make a barrel from scratch. And they were mostly 45 gallon barrels that lasted at least 36 years and without leaking once? They even made 120 gallon barrels, they were over 5ft high, around 5ft 9 inches high, they were huge! But i think they were becoming not as common, as they were to big to handle all round. By the rules and laws ov the whiskey trade a barrel could only be used 3 times then had to be broken down. But the whisky in them took 8 to 12 years to mature in them. It took 7 years training to be a cooper at one time. A heard thats longer than a dr. Then they cut it down to 5 years due to machines making it a bit easier as everything had to be done by hand and not a machine in the place ov work. Its seen as more ov an art than a trade. Tbh i dont think it would be as good growing up as a kid in todays world, It would be good yes? but not the way we had it, not even close. Today you never see kids out kicking a ball about, no wonder at age 9 there 6ft tall and 25 stone, the boys are big as well. lol, we were 5ft and 6 stone lol. A couldnt eat a 2ft wide pizza with everything on it, except the 2 litre bottle of coke lol, at age 9 all too myself. A believe the technology in todays world is great but its making people much lazier than when i remember the old days, and especialy at work as thousands ov people must surely know. As so much doesnt get done even when there sitting down, no way would that lot last 5 minutes working in the 80s and 90s. The 1980s and early 90s were the best years ov my life. Brilllllliant!!!!!!! Today most boys play on artificial grass? But theres nothing better than natural grass. Especialy when it was a bit wet to slide into a tackle.

I was giving it another listen just last week. Over the last 2 weeks in my car to/from work, actually. I had forgotten, other than the singles, how much of an underwhelming album it really is. It's really almost like 2 completely different albums from the massive singles as opposed to the rest of the LP. After "Two Tribes", it's a completely different album that sounds like Trevor Horn had nothing to do with it.

Great record. Way ahead of its time. The “Annihilation” mix is the best.
@richc848 Жыл бұрын
All the mixes had their own strengths. "Carnage" was global and grand with the orchestra. "Annihilation" was terrifying and claustrophobic and funky. The 7" single mix punched the hardest. The one on the album was not the best.

What this song related to was the USA ~ USSR "Cold War" era, amongst other things. So indeed its relevance today IS INDEED the same as when it was released in the mid - 1980s. I was age 14 here in Melbourne, Australia, when I heard it on radio at the time.

I remember the 7 inch and 12 inch singles of 'Two Tribes' had advice on the back of the record sleeve advising you on what to do if there was a nuclear attack. The 1980's were worrying times. Brian Nash, the guitarist, was asked in an interview what he would do if the "three minute earning" sounded - he said he would put on the five minute version of this song or one of their other singles, and relax. People weren't too concerned about the possible end of the world, people just lived with the worry.
