Fun fact: most of the instrumets on this track are from the 60's: a Vox Jaguar organ, a Fender Jazz bass and a Selmer Pianotron electric piano (aka Weltmeister Claviset) playing the main melody. The other ones are the synth drums and Korg synth lead in the bridge, wich give away the era in wich this tune was recorded (1979)

[@LFOVCF]

The Korg M-500 did the lead and the high hat was actually the Korg in white noise mode, as was the Pssh pssh sound at the start. I have the same synth.

[@humanchannel7825]

Actually you’re wrong about the bass. This version was recorded for their debut album which was released in 1980. In this version he plays a spray painted fender jazz bass but in the 1979 version he plays a left handed Wilson rapier bass.

They were from the legendary Eric's scene in Liverpool, 1977-1980. The scene that also produced Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, The Mighty Wah, Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Pete Burns (Dead or Alive), Ian Broudie (Original Mirrors and later, The Lightning Seeds). And like all the great British scenes of that time, the spark that ignited it was the Sex Pistols.

@@ALEJANDRO-b9e I agree with you. The music from OMD can be absorbed deeper into the soul than the majority of other bands. Additionally, the music isn’t heavy. I believe Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band ever. However, I do not listen to the music often because it is far too heavy on the soul. The lyrics are also blessed with a much deeper meaning.

Demorei 30 anos para encontrar essas músicas que foram gravadas em uma fita k7 ... era criança, e não tinha ideia de quem cantava as músicas... ganhei essa fita k7 veio da Europa nos anos 80. Desde então não sabia nada, hoje consegui encontrar !!!!! Anos 80 foram bons demais....

Hello love this song a lot just like you. Very nice sound. I just wanna randomly suggest another song i just found out recently. Perhaps you like it just as i like it :) Its called Kas:st - Hell on earth. I think you should give it a chance. although its a different style completely. It still hits me with beautiful emotions just as this song does to me. Have a nice day

Saw OMD in Göteborg, Sweden this yeae. Amazing song to end a concert with. Amazing concert, so glad i have seen the band live.

[@yeadontwearitout]

Love when a tune is so catchy you don't need to hear it repeat to know you want to hear it again, first time hearing it instant fave

[@petermoore7796]

If you told me this song came out 1980 or 2010 I'd believe you either way. This is an absolute banger that paved the way for so much of what you hear today

[@matthewwhitty4380]

Only it is far better than anything you hear on the radio today. This song is a masterpiece

Everything is analog from instruments to recording of this music video and this aged gracefully into the digital era. Love OMD.

[@giovannasulca6185]

un grupo adelantado para su época revoluciono la forma de apreciar la música en otra forma y a su vez fusionaron instrumentos, donde la voz era voz humana no como ahora que las computadoras cantan por ellos o ellas.

[@carlosastudillo3643]

Muy de acuerdo Giovanna una gran banda que perdura generaciones, un abrazo de Republica Dominicana

[@Ebrill_Owen]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I always went ham at the goth club on 80’s nights when this song was almost always played.

[@lorax2013]

This is decades ahead of its time not only in musical style but listen to the lyrics and even their thoughts on energy development are decades ahead of their time.

[@aleo1286]

Gran música del año 1980. En 2023 sigue sonando 🎵❤️

[@SusanaBlood]

Para se concretos es de 1979, salio como single un 21 de mayo de 1979

[@terencemeikle534]

A visionary masterpiece. In my opinion, their greatest song. An anthem for the technological revolution. Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Tesla are jigging to this in heaven. Genius.
