He was a pioneer in modern electronic pop music. Way ahead of mainstream. The late Jeanettes' lyrics are superb! I'm not religous at all, but g bless her soul.

[@4bibimimi]

Living in sin. Rupert Hine and Robert Palmer. Both are gone now but this music to me is louder than ever

[@jerzykoodziej3079]

An amazing artist ahead of his time!

[@Ueberschaer]

A great artist is no more on this beautiful planet. R.I.P. Rupert.

[@dannymiles6503]

Yes very sad indeed. I bought the first album as soon as it came out, such were the glowing reviews. I never stopped being a huge admirer of his vast, vast talents. We lost a legend who was never known enough.

[@zappzapp1350]

Good to let us know..... I just ask myself if he is still alive. I grew up with this musik. He was so fare ahead with what he did. One of my favorite.

[@Ueberschaer]

I agree@@zappzapp1350

[@zappzapp1350]

@@dannymiles6503 i did loved his musik than in the 80....only now i came back and found it in the internet....since i sold my Vinyl....but he was leading my way of musik... I did adore his musik than...and do still love it...ya what a pitty that he was not too famous than at the time. Ja but a few people heared it than and remember still....so what can we do? Teach the Youngsters.

[@dannymiles6503]

​@@zappzapp1350Hello zappzapp, it is a very special moment to meet another Rupert Hine superfan and admirer of his work. He is just incredible. I will be 64yrs old next year and it was his first (i think) album Immunity that i heard music journalists were raving about. It was unlike anything i had ever heard and i was a real fan of David Bowie since 1972, and Rupert's music was so different. I liked the 2nd album also, and then came this one, the 3rd album. It is my favourite i think. Just so many songs to love on here, close to every song. I worked in a big record company W.E.A, in the early 80s for 2years,it was amazing. I was very lucky to meet the vocalist/songwriter from a band that Rupert was their producer, The Fixx, who were on our record label. Their first 3 albums were excellent, much thanks to Rupert, especially Reach The Beach, it is regarded as an excellent rock album of the 80s. I met Cy Curnin and spoke with him for just about 2 mins, but the setting was very special, maybe i can tell you where next time. Anyhow, deep down i would of loved to meet Rupert, but it never happened. So great to hear from you and read your lovely thoughts about his music. There is so much that Rupert achieved and influenced music overall and he held some important positions in the industry and worked with many artists. Teach the younger ones, you said, that is so true, we must do that. Thankyou, best wishes to you.

To those who didn`t allready know. In march, this year, Rupert Hine gave out his "best of" album called: "Unshy on the skyline . best of Rupert Hine.Contains 12 songs: I Hang On To My Vertigo - The Set Up - Surface Tension - Samsara . The Curious Kind - Another Stranger - Dark Windows - Picture Phone - The Wildest Wish To Fly - No Yellow Heart - Firefly In The Night - One Man`s Poison. Personally I miss some songs like The Golden Age etc

[@primitivedogs4638]

I saw him in Gothenburg, he and NEXT The Tubes. :D

[@SPYmaps]

bit late, for me to asnwer, but many thanks. Didn't know that indeed, that he released the best of album. Leon

[@dannymiles6503]

Been loving his albums since I heard the first album come out. This opens with the wrong song. Plus it has been changed. I own this vinyl album

[@Freyafeline]

I love Rupert Hine's music as he paints with all the senses leaving the imagination free to fly!

[@Freyafeline]

@Halliwellsson I am devastated hearing this sad news! Thank you for letting his fans know!

[@Freyafeline]

It is devestating hearing of the loss of such a talented painter of musical atmosphere! Condolences to his family and other fans!

[@tinfoilhatter]

yeah, man, he was superduper , alright! hey rupert, you knew you were superduper, right?

[@MrDtap]

RIP.

[@DustyChalk]

That sequence of "Hang on to my Vertigo"/"Firefly in the Night"/"A Golden Age" is one of my favourite on record.

[@mikloshoffer282]

Just bought this gem in the second hand store for 5 bucks - rivals Waving Not Drowning for best!

[@dannymiles6503]

Such brilliance all over, every song, ive loved this since it came out. The dislocated funk belter Living In Sin with Robert Palmer, what a way to kick off a side of an album!!

[@dannymiles6503]

And im stunned as i realise they both are not here anymore. Robert Palmer made a brilliant album, my favourite of his, Pride. Theres a diverse range of excellent songs there.

[@kaiw.k6094]

This one, and the album Waving Not Drowning are the greatest albums.

[@RODALCO2007]

Brilliant ! many thanks for posting

[@numberonetitch]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 ive been trying to remember this album for ages ,love it!

[@tinfoilhatter]

i bought this cassette in spring 1985,i was just 20 yrs old--wow,i love that tape and it's gone--thanks for the upload!

[@no1copycat]

Listened to this a lot back in school, almost 21 now and rediscovering it on remastered CD, a good listen!

[@KaiWK-kh5sw]

+Alexander Savov Keep on listening to it!!!

[@tinfoilhatter]

...NO SHATTERED IMAGE, TO FALL APART...

[@KaiWK-kh5sw]

What`s so interresting about R.H is that he write FANTASTIC lyrics. That is rare. Now a days the lyrics are nonsense. He writes songs that actually tells us (listeners) something. That`s why I LOVE his music

[@perperov]

+KaiWK 1234 Jeanette Obstoj wrote the lyrics to all Hine's albums

[@KaiWK-kh5sw]

I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. Tho he do write some in collabaration. Anyway.Love the lyrics and SHE does writ fantastic lyrics. Agreed?

[@tinfoilhatter]

is there nothing between us but plastic and wire?

[@thenavajoknow]

His magnum opus to me. The title track is epic, such a range of emotions and moods, lyrically and musically. And the most dangerous of men, apart from being quite topical once again, is spine shivering with that amazing Palmer/Hine chant. Many other highlights on this gem.

[@tinfoilhatter]

OH I KNOW, RIGHT? it's like, the hine-meister's a true visionary, and anyone would be lucky to have rupert produce them, for instance, and all those layered vocals, and just multi-tracks, just outta sight! few , if any, have a better sense of what sounds cool, synth-wise, drum-wise, guitar-wise, vocally and other-wise!

[@Fruebie]

Yes, thanks for uploading!

[@dalequio7960]

Excelentes canciones. . Qué gran músico fue Rupert Hine ( Q.E.P.D. ). Un tremendo compositor y productor inglés. Para mí , su trilogía : " Immunity " ( 1981 ) " Waving not drowning " ( 1982 ) " The wildest wish to fly " ( 1983 ) , sus mejores álbumes. Saludos desde Chile.

[@helmutseiboth4700]

Ein Genius der elektronischen Poprock/ArtRock Geschichte..TWWTF and WND absolut genial...Ohhh hätte Rupert mal ein Album mit der deutschen Krautrock Legende CAN aufgenommen ohhhhhh....

[@rexmundi1570]

My fave Hine album is Immunity. Full of great tunes. Misplacede Love and Hang on To My Vertigo is on that album too.

[@bluntrapture]

Yum. My ears are fistbumping each other for hearing this.

[@birtyringlding1034]

I totally know what you mean... :P

[@tinfoilhatter]

the cool guitars, pretty sure that's jamie huh?

[@escoffierp]

RIP

[@manhunter86]

Thanks for posting this.....I have the vinyl LP that I got not long after it came out, in the summer of 1984. Haven't listened to it in forever, as I don't really have a turntable. You helped me hear it again!

[@SPYmaps]

My god, this brings back so much memories from the 80 ties! Thanks so much for the upload, brings back old dreams.... Leon

[@TheBritomart]

His production on this album is stunning- there are so many beautiful layers, spaces, flavors. Is varies from ethereal to stark deftly.

[@AaaaAaaa-00]

❤️ Robert Palmer

[@4bibimimi]

where will u be 5/25/18? big party downtown LA.

[@4bibimimi]

i appreciate the kind words. i guess i thought this was better than nothing at all. these old ears aren't that sharp. and a crummy upload might inspire a better one. let's hope.

[@dannymiles6503]

Ok i understand im in my 60s a bit old. Thanks for your efforts with Rupert i love his vast talents and have since early 80s

[@tinfoilhatter]

i can't go on believing this....have i lived just to witness the last decade,or a golden age?

[@isabelladestegonzaga5529]

anyway - i lived in this time , 1960 to 2051 :-D

[@tinfoilhatter]

i'll see ya then!

[@tinfoilhatter]

that lyricist, jeannette, i wanna hear an interview with her! she's the man! it's like , i wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on.... haha!

[@tinfoilhatter]

what a piece of musical indulgence, all those tracks, so many tracks, all together, the music is more than the sum of its parts, if y'know what i mean?

[@dannymiles6503]

​@@tinfoilhatterYes they are such beautiful, tragic lyrics. She was a very special lyricist. All these years, i must find time to look back at her wonderful work. Its just that i spend little time on the internet for certain reasons. When i do, its mainly to use the valuable time to listen to my most loved music from the mid-late 60s through the 70s and early 80s.. Such a lot of music to try to find the time. I do love your comments here thanks.

[@HaloSvevo]

Sorry, but the tracklist isn't correct. track 3 for instance here in the video is "I Hang On To My Vertigo".

[@TheBritomart]

What a masterpiece

[@dannymiles6503]

This is actually a gathering of songs from other albums too. Ive loved him for decades. Actually this is sped up a bit and if slowed to normal you will find the songs even greater. For example, on Picturephone with Robert Palmer joining vocals its noticably higher in pitch and speed compared to my record albums and cds

[@thomask8345]

Hmm yes, and I'll be stripped to the skin (I'll be stripped to the skin) You'll be stripped to the bone (You'll be stripped to the bone) And we'll all say no, no (And we'll all say no) to the picture-phone Well... looking back in time, it seems we didn't listen to his message. We have enthusiastically embraced the "picture-phone".

[@etcpp660]

Leider zu wenigen bekannt...!

[@sequentialable12]

the 80s were so jarred sounding with electronic sounds like this

[@Fruebie]

indeed!!!

[@cittikidd]

Firefly, in..the night

[@Alexo1954]

But we all said yes, not no, to the picture phone. Funny how prophetic that song was, except that it reached the wrong conclusion.

[@maximummatt73]

The tracklist is different to the original vinyl

[@OppfinnarJockeX]

The original 1983 vinyl release did not have "I Hang on to my Vertigo" as track 3. Originally track 3 was "The Saturation of the Video Rat", one of Thinkman's best songs. Why did they replace it?

[@KaiWK-kh5sw]

+Oppfinnar Jocke an american version. Heia Norden

[@PazuzuStalker]

Vertigo? No, not on my LP...

[@urfanorependra]

this is only the later american version of wildest wish to fly. and it is not complete. the video rat is missing. I never understood why they made this record like this even including 'I hang on to my vertigo' from the Immunity album which does not belong to TWWTF at all. Sorry for all the crticism, but why upload an old really bad cassette rip of something that is available as CD ? the quality is appaling ... get the LP shown in the picture, that's the original version of TWWTF
