Owning this and listening to this made me feel like I was a part of something. It still does. The music is so simple and yet so complicated... Long live Mute records

[@thomasdupont7186]

Yes ! I remember too, when I bought the original in 2010 ( the internet was so young back then ).

[@julian-xd6iz]

Sheffield STEEL!

[@valentinius62]

After a decade of listening to the usual rock, R&B, disco, and pop music like this totally blew us away and we always wanted more.

[@AliasUndercover]

Wow. My reprobate friends and I would listen to these back in the 90s when we went clubbing. Honestly, I had no idea they were from 1978. Warm Leatherette is still one of my favorites.

[@Dillinger86]

dude KROQ used to play this all the time... all my friends thought i was insane for loving this song ...

[@keithinaz9769]

106.7fm

[@postatility9703]

As with so many other effects of the Covid era, this song is perfectly in tune, in the best sense of the word. Sounds better than ever.

[@thiscorrosion900]

Always loved this and also the Grace Jones version, of course.

[@YogiAcosta]

This record was the reason I became an artist of House and DnB. Freaking awesome and ahead of his time.

[@keithinaz9769]

This one has got to be the most TRIPPY song I ever heard. 👽👽👽👽👽

[@cassandra5322]

I wish he made more.

[@BetterSkatez3]

Daniel Miller who was a part of this was also a founder of Mute Records. He was also the same person behind a band known as Silicon Teens.

[@pseudo-intellectualtroll6563]

@@BetterSkatez3 I love Fad Gadget and Silicon Teens. Wish I got into Mute Records sooner.

[@blueburro9226]

I can't seem to be able to turn this up enough...

[@ichiromito]

Brilliant! Synth Punk!

[@robertszymanski717]

Back in my days, 1970-80's...I have heard a lot of screwy but cool New Wave/ Punk Rock tunes and these two classic videos are the most demented tunes I ever heard! Ever hear I Found The Brains of Santa Claus? by Jason and the Strap tones?

[@stevendphoto]

Had the 7" back in the day, have the CD now...!

[@RabidSnot]

had this on cassette back in '82 and listened to it almost every day on my Sony Walkman while Sk8in' down the Redondo/Hermosa/Manhatten strand looking for chicks.on beach cruisers in bikini's. Yeah buddy. still love it all these yrs later.

[@BSnedeker]

A classic

[@footprintdj]

Have this on 7'' - had it for years + years. And its Mute-001

[@pdnapora]

I don't believe I've ever heard this 7"er before today. Very devo-rific!

[@JoseGomez-ys3zs]

Tremendous single!

[@andreaskrettek6094]

i like this new wave art

[@TheDerroLondon]

have I said this before???? FFFFuffing awesome..

[@kenestep3744]

I remember hearing both of these as a teen on WRAS 88.5 Atlanta. It was a great college station through the 80s and 90s.

[@9graff9]

More more MORE!! MORE!!

[@jazzlover10000]

I still think this is the greatest vinyl release of the 20th century.

[@jejesus]

Daniel Miller rules!!!

[@MRFoog-zk7ss]

FUCK THAT WAS GREAT. New Robert Rental didn't really know this Guy. THANK YOU

[@joyclark7530]

Who's here via KROQ?

[@TheUtuber999]

Heard this on KROQ all the time back around 1980.

[@darenstonerock5203]

FUCKIN AWESOME DID A 7TH GRADE FILMAKING TO THIS SONG

[@veggie42]

based on Crash by JG Ballard.I also think of Mike Teevee in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I hear TV-OD and its become a tv show on ITV2 of outtakes earlier this year.Iconic early synth punk experiment

[@thiscorrosion900]

I love how in Videodrome it subverts (or perverts) the bit in Charlie where Mike TeeVee sticks his hand in the giant TV screen to grab the "real" chocolate bar materializing/teleporting within it, whilst in Videodrome, well, the hand with the gun reaches out.....for you! So sick. Both works way ahead of their times.

[@TheDerroLondon]

Techno pioneers....

[@prima6170]

I had the 45. Somebody stole it.

[@JoseGomez-ys3zs]

Mute 1!

[@john_from_eastcoast.]

[@MOLTEN_IMP]

[@TheDerroLondon]

[@charlesknowlton7198]

Schprokets

[@etwilli2]

Nows the time we dance....!

[@prima6170]

If you like this song, you should surely like _Yello_ , _Oh, Yeah_ .

[@markbecause9151]

I wonder if this was before or after Grace Jones version.

[@charleswinkler5998]

Before, Grace Jones covered this version.

[@prima6170]

The lyrics are kind of difficult to understand. But, it's easy to sing to, so...

[@launamg]

fucking excellence.

[@jennfaire8726]

see them live in 64

[@markhypnos]

Source? That would be an interesting read

[@Andy-d9z]

[@8tem]

[@cpcnw]

What is Art? What is Music? Just opinions...

[@_ms.mannequin_]

Both

[@plivan1]

it's like fixing...... Heroin

[@Rizimar]

Who here from thismachinekillsmusic?

[@ZipZip1975]

"the Normal" = Alan Normal = Alan Wilder

[@newnowthen]

This is not true. The Normal was Daniel Miller, founder of the Mute Records.

[@LaraCoimbra93]

LOL some people should watch more Synth Brittania

[@ZipZip1975]

Sorry, I misschanged "The Normal" and "Alan Normal" (from Dafne and the Tenderspots). Who was really Alan Wilder :)..... Fact both had to do a lot with Mute.. and Depeche Mode made me perplex ;)

[@markhypnos]

Check out the BBC synth brittania on youtube if you havent

[@KirkFields]

yup EGG-cellent!! :P
