[@ayianapia]

Great sound ; the early 80's were the best years for New Wave music.

[@williambeckett9749]

the more I listen to this the more i love it, i was a huge gary Numan fan back in the 80s, but this is a tremendous track, i really love it, its so 80s, and its so of the time.

[@dfsdnb488]

I’m glad to see there are many recent comments on here I heard this like over a decade ago and came back today to give a listen Keep MINIMAL WAVE ALIVE!!

[@GrootsieTheDog]

This could possibly be the most 80’s video that exists in the entire universe.

[@zapster2412111]

Most possibly not.

[@sapien82]

I dunno man sigue sigue sputnik were all over that 80's aesthetic

[@areyoureceivingme]

I think it's one of the best tunes ever. from 1982. Did you know that there are more tunes by Poeme Electronique from 81-82 that remain unreleased. But not for much longer! A second album of unreleased and remastered songs is out soon. I'm lucky enough to have heard the songs and some are as amazing as The Echoes Fade!

[@erikomar6937]

Timeless track, emotional and futuristic for these times.

[@EdgarVenomous]

This song has 268 plays on my iTunes :D! I [heart] the 80's

[@CountessMCollabs]

Fully an 80's phenomenon!!!!!!! She is a Goddess....

[@YayAkiba]

I just heard this on XWAVE. I love finding obscure 80s music previously undiscovered by me.

[@napalmenema1]

This song just gets better and better each time I come back to listen.

[@MrUrlawyer]

Wunderschöner Song. Zum Träumen an die scheinbar unbeschwerten 80er und einfach zum Genießen. Danke!

[@israbaltazar7]

Astonishing array on options and the uncanny ability to perform it: DARK!!! Amazing and cool!!!

[@areyoureceivingme]

I'm incredibly excited that the second Poeme Electronique album will be released on my label (Attractive Co-ordinates) in the near future. I've heard about half of it, and it is just stunning synth stuff!

[@carlesq137]

So good tune! My new favorite group!

[@belindahabing7294]

I first came across this song in 2011...i just felled in love with the mystic rhythmn....sounds like die neue deutsche welle from the early 80s...just love this

[@Andi242GER]

My favourite music video. It creates a universe of artificial beauty. A peak of aesthetics.

[@lyesmez3507]

Il faut être quelq'un d exceptionnelle Pour créé ce Style de musique

[@perpetual61]

Wow where is this kind of music being made today...Brilliant ! Now can I go back to the 80's ?

[@drbenway7893]

Roland CR-78 Power! Thanks for sharing.

[@solitaireneffekten]

It's actually the Boss DR-55 🙂

[@bluemondaybluemonday9223]

great song...Hypnotic

[@javierentizne9648]

Autentic new romantic 80´s new wave. Never again the days erased time !! Viva Fantastic Echo Fade !! Where are you now?

[@theoriginalbluey]

The original 7" is extremely rare now. Nice remix via Anna Logue and LP. Second LP long overdue. Never say never.

[@talkingheadzzz2449]

This is precious! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@maryjaneskull]

this is fabulous...... it's like gary newman and soft cell...... but girls..... i loved them!!!! never heard of them before

[@FrenchKettleStation]

So so so beautiful.

[@user-tk4gr9zo7t]

As a Geneva Jacuzzi fan I’m absolutely sold and delighted by this

[@logiclust]

seeing this makes me question everything i ever thought

[@Fredrik890]

😎 what a teaching song

[@capt.scarlet1099]

Yes, aliens live amongst us...klaus nomi wasn’t the only one

[@stargazerlaurent6780]

40 years on it is still the sound of the future

[@OwenJ1971]

They've just re-released all their old stuff on Anna Logue records. And you can get this track on itunes.

[@carlesq137]

i love them a big fresh surprise! I want to see more of PE

[@Kazilikaya]

*I fucking love this song! and LOVE this band!!!!!* The creme de la creme when it comes to classic new wave.

[@jpascalj]

Me too i want to be in London in 1984... :-(

[@mikimaravi6788]

Están en otra dimensión😨 . Siempre vuelvo a ver este vídeo y me sorprende la atmósfera y sensación que transmite a pesar de que es un vídeo de bajo presupuesto. La música la lleva a otro nivel. Algo así como los primeros temas de Gary Numan. 😱

[@carlesq8428]

Mis favoritas!!!

[@TheANATOMIKAblogmag]

The echo of each step I take shouts back at me Rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed The distant echoes ring as though not far away A hollow town an empty life and who's to pay? Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Our buildings vast and high Concrete jungles in the sky And kids are stranded on the corners Dressed to kill in uniforms Threatened by the danger of a falling brick Built to breed our problems Then the echoes fade and time stands still Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade The powers fallen in public hands Official secrets burnt in sand And riots fulfil this bloody land The blame shall fall on no mans head A champagne glass in the ghettos grasp Committed to survive this ritual task Revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy pathetic dreams The echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Sad wives await for pleasant days to fill their bitter empty wombs A mound of browning leaves entwined With guns and bullets on the blown up paths A mound of empty wrappers entwined with bloodied tissues And piles of shattered glass whose war was it anyway? Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade

[@Pandangus]

Nice :) thanks!

[@bbaff8622]

there is a verse missing here. Found it in the wild. Full lyrics: the echo of each step i take shouts back at me rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed the distant echoes ring as though not far away a hollow town an empty life and who's to pay the echoes fade.... our buildings vast and high concrete jungles in the sky and kids are stranded on the corners dressed to kill in uniforms threatened by the danger of a falling brick built to breed our problems then the echoes fade and time stands still the echoes fade... a mound of browning leaves, entwined with paper packets on the broken paths a mound of empty wrappers entwined with cans and lengths of shattered glass brainwashed by this pregnant world abortion of the heavens above choking on the soil and mud, spitting at earth to perish there. the echoes fade... then the echoes fade... the powers fallen in public hands official secrets burnt in sand and riots fulfill this bloody land the blame shall fall on no mans head a champagne glass in the ghettos grasp committed to survive this ritual task revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy, pathetic dreams the echoes fade... sad wives await for pleasant days to fill their bitter empty wombs a mound of browning leaves entwined with guns and bullets on the blown up paths a mound of empty wrappers entwined with bloodied tissues and piles of shattered glass, whose war was it anyway the echoes fade

[@masterofdarkness-goth]

[@marchrabbit85]

[@Kazilikaya]

The lyrics are very sci-fi. What ever happened to pop songs with sci-fi themes?

[@Imperceptible_parachute]

Great track but there's a much clearer video on KZbin and it doesn't stutter like this one did a couple of times :-)

[@Brodactor]

Hi, can I have the year that song was released ? Thx. Ah, it's1981, OK.

[@theoriginalbluey]

1982.

[@playlistener1]

@TheLeatherNunn : It's probably be quicker/easier to compile a list of things/people she hasn't ripped off.

[@DerVampyrEngel]

[@LordPsychocutioner]

I love Avant Garde and music that's weird

[@foodtrey]
