Someone asked about this one, and I happened to have it on an old tape.

thank you kindly, I heard this in 81 twice maybe. And never forgot it. And couldn't find it

I remember this on MTV. I was in 5th grade and drew a line down Scott Baio's face on DYNAMITE magazine and colered half his face dark and the kid behind my desk knew exactly what I was doing for he saw the video too :) 1981 baby

Rupert Hine is one of the most under-rated artists from the 80s in my view.

Same outfit. Both Bowie and Kate Bush wore that particular "jumpsuit with tubes" outfit in videos. "Ashes to Ashes" and "The Dreaming" respectively.

I didn't hear this song until 1991, but it blew me away at the time. It still gives me goosebumps.

Couldn't agree more.Rupert is an all-time hero of mine,his 80s "trilogy" of albums way ahead of it's time, and Jeanette Obstoj an incredible lyricist.I liked Thinkman but to me it never reached the same heights.Thanks so much for posting this.

And Rupert worked on Palmer's Pride album released in 1983.

Cool, I saw him playing Immunity, bandaged in Gothenburg, must have been 1981. I really would like to see him playing this song again.

Yes, Robert Palmer sang several songs on Hine's album "The Wildest Wish To Fly".

The same suit Rupert wears here was used by David Bowie in Ashes to Ashes.

One of the things I love about this video is that Rupert is wearing the exact same outfit Kate Bush wore in her video for the song "The Dreaming". David Bowie wore one in the video for "Ashes to Ashes" as well. Nice to know the all shopped at the same place. Must have been a shop specializing in clothing and Fairlights.

It was the other way around. Bowie has changed his sound so many times, and his early 80s sound was influenced by Hine, Brian Eno and others. His later, more successful career as a producer made him even more influential. But there is a direct Bowie connection: they are wearing the same outfit. Bowie wore this same suit in part of the "Ashes to Ashes" video - as did Kate Bush in her video "The Dreaming".

@k8fan9 жыл бұрын
Nonsense, Hine wasn't ripping off Bowie. The concept of this video is totally unlike Ashes to Ashes. The "stillsuit" was bought from a shop in London, the same place Kate Bush bought the ones used in her video for the song The Dreaming.
@Alexo19549 жыл бұрын
+k8fan Agreed. Musically, Bowie was a peasant. Could hardly play a note on any instrument. But he had a good publicity agent and management. Hine just wasn't handsome enough to maintain fame. But what a striking voice: completely unique.

I'd reason to think this video was directed by David Mallet, the director behind David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" video.

A lot of music from the early eighties sounds really cheesey or just plain twee now...but not this guy. He still sounds fantastic and his words are still relevant nearly thirty years later! I can see now that I wasn't alone in my music tastes in the early eighties. I always thought I was just about the only person who listened to him, at a time when everybody else was listening to Human League and blitz dancing!

Perhaps the worst song and worst video from that era. And there were some awful videos back then. I used to hate when they showed this video.

Surface Tension video was shown before Ashes to Ashes... Bowie might be ripping off Rupert. Or the director...
