[@DamnJungleFunction]

listening to this while driving thru the Jungles of the Yucatan after exploring Mayan ruins, in the night, with lightning on the horizon was a highlight of my life

Martin Dupont is cool music for cool people 😎

You are so fucking rad.

I just discovered this band.... this entire album is literally genius. How the fuck have I never heard of them.

[@alexandrnvm6182]

[@RozzWilliamsScholarsSociety]

Their records were only released in France back in the 80s. They were recently re-issued during the 2000s and nationwide interest in the underground brought them bak into the light. The chicks in this band are hot. Another 80s group getting recognition and re-releases is synthwave group "From Nursery to Misery" Check'em out :)

@@RozzWilliamsScholarsSociety do you have additional recommendations?

[@RozzWilliamsScholarsSociety]

@@Njordin2010 Try COIL if you haven't heard of them. Throbbing Gristle, SPK, NON (Boyd Rice), Fake Orgasm. Thats all industrial noise. Otherwise if club music is your thing, check out ORBITAL.

I've just got absolutely hypnotized by this song

The brunette lady (wearing the mask) on backing vocals is GORGEOUS!

[@jackpotts8283]

New favorite song alert. This has been in my head for the past three days and I'm wondering where this song has been all my life. Crazy? But true.

[@splitpierre]

You have the point, listened for the first time, and replayed it already, that's very interesting piece of work, simple, yet catching, it get's deep in your mind... aliens ahead! Addiction ALERT

ME TO NOW!!!!

[@deyah77]

This song is genius

[@deme9873]

Since I was only born yesterday, I sincerely wish I had been born at such a time from which I could fully appreciate and realize endless replays of this coolest and grooviest of incantations.

[@vyktorzhuravlev8304]

I can listen this music ever😍😍😍

[@No-right-to-take]

Why is this song so addictive!?

[@SashaMagena]

OMFG this song is so amazing!!!!!!

[@retroconsole_]

wow..just a rare gem..great song.

[@jackpotts8283]

Excellent piece of work! Highly syncopated with an ominous undertow wrapped in a beat you can dance to.

[@mantra3000]

Oh, those glorious early 8 bit sampling days...

[@bittrashriot4960]

This video is as bizarre as the song. I love it!

[@ricbeil7463]

J'ai découvert et écouté les Martin étant étudiant avec It's so, c'est toujours excellent aujourd'hui. La grande époque créative de la touch french… et dans le rock et consort… Qu'en est-il aujourd'hui de toute cette créativité ? Et si créativité il y a, qu'attend-on pour faire émerger tous ces groupes que l'on entend pas ou peu ?

[@PatrickArellano]

Added to dancing playlist!!

[@surfinbird44]

Je reviens très souvent sur cette track depuis peu. C'est magnétique un peu !

[@centaureacyanus7675]

Sometimes I watch this video in rotation. Magic.

[@Residualshanty]

the end sequence of this track would merge perfectly with a trance beat, fucking love this song- wish people remixed this stuff.

[@davidbarra446]

Excellent morceau calibré pour le dance floor ! Et que dire du reste du répertoire des Martin dupont, tout bonnement excellent !

[@LunaTricksTelevision]

Absolutely! "Inside Out", "Love on My Side" ," "My Anaylst "Assez" to name a few of my favourites! almost 40 songs in my Dupont playlist :) "Martin Dupont & 80's "New Wave" bass synth sax & clarinet"

best music i ever heard

[@MK-ru9xp]

Dope

after a month without seeing and listning the video...pfff...just love it!!French guy here..

[@ricbeil7463]

J'ai écouté les Martin étant étudiant avec it's so et encore aujourd'hui leur musique est excellente face à tout ce que l'on peut entendre. La french touch des années 80 au meilleure de sa production. Avec les autres groupes de rock et consort du moment … mais qu'en est-il aujourd'hui de toute cette créativité, mis à part Guetta et quelques autres ?

[@EndingSummerwithRalph]

trop bon et trop méconnu, une réédition vinyle de hot paradox svp

[@jaipur1401]

Il y en a plusieurs, en particulier un fabuleux coffret Américain avec 5 vinyles. Martin Dupont est à mes yeux, un des groupes majeurs Français des années 80 avec Trisomie 21, Clair obscur. C'est tellement original et magnifique.

[@zwarteraaf]

Dearest people, please, it is VITAL for me to know the name of this mister in sunglasses and a black (or maybe it is another dark colour, I can't say, it is all just black and white) coat, who walks along with a lady with a scarf (and yes, she also wears sunglasses).

Best

[@marcidonohoe5081]

Has NIN (Trent Reznor) ever given them credit for his sound? Even the scream sound he sampled!

[@thirdstrike4u]

This sounds nothing like industrial music and vice versa.

He may not be award of their music or even a fan. A lot of bands from that era were underground.

[@clairekilduff5930]

I can hear the same trumpet/elephant noise in the chorus. And the rhythm isn't far off. I was googling it but couldn't find any reference. I'm glad someone else noticed the similarity!!

An American record company called Minimal Wave made the video (for KZbin). The woman who runs that label made it. The music is Martin Dupont. Minimal Wave re-released this music.
