[@calabiyou]

Classic cyber 90s. this was when the internet was still a bit underground and William Gibson novels were telling the future and plenty of people didn't believe in the cyberspace future. 'Weird' people took this stuff seriously, played Doom and Quake, listened to industrial, talked about Baudrillard and hyperreality 5 or more years before the Matrix, and 5 or more years before Apple made a come back. Yes, I want a lollypop.

[@Ichinin]

I actually read Neuromancer while listening to to Tactical Neural Implant..

[@hochfeldjessie85]

lollipops for all of you.

[@christopherrowe7860]

now we live in a world where a good chunk of that stuff is becoming reality, too bad industrial music has turned to the underground. :(

[@vogelofficial]

I was there! Best times.

Heres a bunch of well earned lollypops and a few AOL CD coasters for you.

true story. happened to hear this song on MTV at a friend back in the 90s. it stuck into my brain permanently. i'm bad with textmemory but have a semistrong photomemory and some soundmemory. tried so long to find this without remembering the name of the band and song. quite a torture to see the whole video in your head and the melody but not being able to connect it to the source. quite a relief to find the gem after many years. a cyberindustrypunk legend. re-discovered just a few years ago.

I played this song to my 9th grade health class for my "a part of me" assignment lmao Now what 30 years later it took me not even 10 seconds to recognize which song it was. I still know most of the words. I lived for this in my goth/ raver days of the 90s! Loved these days the most of my life

[@stevennsharpsburg]

I interviewed Bill Leeb and Reese Fulmer in 92 during the tour for this AMAZING body of work! Brilliant guys with a longevity of outstanding talent! This video brings back MEMORIES of the best industrial age in music history---I heart the 90's!

[@NachtSchreck13]

I love this album. Bought it when it came out and rocked it daily. Tactical Neural Implant sounds more like a progression of their Intermix releases than the early FLA stuff like Caustic Grip, Initial Command, State of Mind, etc. Its like TNI was songs from the Intermix sessions with added vocals.

[@lightphasermusic]

Masterpiece! One of the best classic of the genre!

[@Krystallen]

This....is.....EBM

[@adeon4261]

Cyberpunk Body Music (CBM)

[@creekandseminole]

GunHead was also an awesome shmup on the PC Engine. It was called Blazing Lasers here in America and released on the Turbografx16. The game was made by Compile who made some of the best shmups ever.

[@Akira625]

The footage is from the Japanese movie Gunhed. I've never seen it, but I remember reading somewhere that Bill Leeb said the film wasn't all that great, and the only decent scenes were the ones he used for the video.

[@matsnordstrom5987]

I tracked it down on VHS back in the day. Had to buy it on import so it was quite expensive. And yes as I remember it it really was a pretty terrible movie. Very slow moving muddled story and weak acting. I think pretty much every action scene from the movie is in this video.

[@ampdoc]

I saw the movie, still have it my collection, digitized. I can't say it's bad per se, in fact I find it mesmerizing in a way. English translation kills the plot and acting, but watching it in Japanese (with subtitles) fixes it perfectly! It's dark, it's highly unusual, it's visionary. And who cares what Leeb says anyway? :)

[@MollyMcBooter]

Akira625 I love that you used Mr Nobody from a creepy old Sesame Street episode as your avatar. hahaha

Jesus the breadth of what FLA has done. Trance , EBM , industrial , ambient , even a bit dubsteppy for a bit ( forgiven for that )

[@-NeonLizard-]

FLA - So real yet so synthetic.

[@HS6000]

There are also bits from a movie called "Hardware" in the video, and in my opinion, that is a better scifi-flick than Gunhed. But that is just me. Many of the voice samples are from the movie RoboCop 2, which is definitely worth a view! =) Man, those "bad" 90's scifi movies rock. Split Second comes to mind first, just saw that movie again about a month ago, and yes, still a better lov.. movie than many of those newer attempts! =D
