Information Society - Walking Away Live on MTV 1988 Plus Interview

[@MrFranziecan]

This band was so intellectually and musically ahead of its time. Fabulous talent that still works today. I wish music in the present was this great.

[@davidyoung5640]

Thats a long way to say its Boss

[@pwc7475]

Love your comment, female drummer

[@karlosgrizz356]

50 años adelantada.

[@celosemnexo]

Saw them yesterday here in Recife - Brazil. Can't believe this guy is sixty years old. Still pure energy from these guys. They still rock!

[@eltonlisboa9911]

Eles tocaram aqui em SP e infelizmente perdi, pelo que vi é a turnê de despedida. Parabéns por ter ido ao show

[@msbatman73.]

eu irei em dezembro no show deles e ainda to sem acreditar !!!!!!

[@coreyouellette2791]

Information Society, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Spandau Ballet, Howard Jones, Wham! Genesis, The Fixx, Duran Duran. All crucial pieces to what made me become an avid music lover as a child. Nothing else comes close to the sound these new-wave groups had back in the day. Such captivating energy, passion, deliverance and presentation in these wonderful songs. They are so well-constructed and unique. So unlike anything else you will ever hear today! such an incredible sound that leaves you wanting more! Their music was amazing to hear back then, and still is now. Timeless music never dies!

No New Order?

[@coreyouellette2791]

@@thumper300zx Absolutely! Add New Order in as well. I still play and enjoy all of their albums. Low Life is my favorite record by them. Excellent stuff!

[@starskyhutcho-vm2gw]

how bout that band who played RUSSIAN RADIO.

[@rudolphhohnenberg2809]

They are real professionals, the only tech band that played live, and even better than the original song. In Chile we danced their songs in the 80's and 90's.

[@travcollier]

Yeah, I saw them live in a club. They were mostly using the drum-pad samplers (including Kurt), triggering all the samples and building the loops as they were going. BTW: You might be interested in Thomas Dolby's "Sole Inhabitant" shows (lots of videos here on YT). More electronic music created live.

[@1994cargo]

Agree, this is cutting edge to do live

[@michaelbauers8800]

I loved their music. Cool use of samples. Interesting and quirky songs, for example their song "A Knife, a fork and bottle and a cork". I never thought sampling was a flash in the pan. I thought and still think it's an interesting technique in electronic music that would still be interesting now. There's so many options for how to use it in a piece of music.

Tive o privilégio de assistir ao vivo em 1990 e, fico indignada com essa geração supostamente "internauta" com acesso a muita informação e nenhum conhecimento, tecendo comentários ridículos, "tradução" pois, é só digitar o nome da música e, acrescentar "traduzida" que tudo se resolve... desculpa aí, geração "Nutella" mas, na nossa maravilhosa época, nós pegávamos as letras das músicas das nossas bandas favoritas, em folders nas escolas de inglês, tipo Fisk e CCAA...kkkkkkkkkk Não existia internet enm yyoutube não!! kkkkkkkkkkk

If they're from Minneapolis, why do they sound like a British band while signing?? Were they trying to emulate the British 80s sound? It's just strange.

Engraçado ver que o Kurt sempre caga para o entrevistador desde sempre. É um traço dele que não mudou. Ele deixa claro que se sente visivelmente incomodado com o simples fato de ter que falar. Aí começa a falar coisas curtas, sem sentido, apenas para gastar o tempo. É muito engraçado.
