[@MrcMllr73]

After more than 26 years - 9646 days exactly - I finally found it!!! In all these years it made me totally crazy that there is a song which I had in the back of my head but I never heard it again in the radio - they play every old shit but not this great piece of music.

[@jesusrenteria2240]

Me too ive been trying to find this song for a very long time been hearing it over and over again..awesome beat sound and good song!

[@massymax1965]

I’ve finally found it today, after 34 years!! Those little things makes you happy!

[@gm5564]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one looking for this song too lol. The wonders of technology.

[@GeoDeZist894]

Привет фанатам хорошей музыки! Эта группа очень самобытная и оригинальная. Таких всегда было мало, а уж в нынешние времена и вовсе нет, к сожалению!💯🔥🤝

[@trasherms]

Just like you said ...they really play every old shit and I'm listening to oldie stations on a daily basis. And about 2 weeks ago I came across this song in a 80s TV live performance . And then ..Boom!! Haven't heard this song since at least 30 years and was immediately struck 😅 it was so deeply buried in my head and I was just amazed to hear it again after all these decades 😅👍🏻👍🏻

[@adrenalinepsalm6386]

RIP Rupert Hine! More than just Rush's producer, a legend in his own right.

[@georgemathie8123]

The fixx, Stevie Nicks, rush,saga, Howard Jones Rupert Hine was and always be a true producer and musical genius 😊

[@nirb8]

One of the best 80s hits that were never hits. A perfect pop song. It is simply beyond me how it remained so obscure.

[@mjma4797]

Miami Vice's "Red Tape". One of the best MV scenes. This song that accompanies it is haunting.

[@shadoe555]

This was one of the coolest songs used in Miami Vice... and during the scene where Viggo Mortenson got blown up! Pretty harsh treatment for the future King Aragorn in Lord of the Rings!

[@pretenserothchild2022]

@Miss Sarah N. Hammond We should all be so lucky.

[@RevvedUpBiker]

Red Tape... one of the best episodes.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for the music Rupert.✨🙌

[@drogheda1966]

In the late 80's I moved into an apartment with a crawlspace and found in there a little 'bubble stereo', record player, abandoned. This was Ottawa, a city of treasures waiting to be discovered and shined up. I remember scooting into the crawlspace with 'Immunity', and a doob on a rainy afternoon. Wow, the moments you have alone.

[@newislandflyer]

the whole LP is great still have it in my cabinet...

[@bogi561]

seit damals nicht mehr gehört. Ich hatte mal die LP...war ne geile Zeit und viel gute Musik.

Awesome tune & album!!! Rupert Hine was way ahead of his time... what an artist!

[@user-rg7up2jq9d]

Einfach nur klasse 😊😊😊

[@richardparker748]

I know the 80's. I am the 80's. But I've never heard this song before. And I love it. 80's I'm in love. I love this song.

[@GolemX]

Get the album.

[@TheFairyGodfather89]

Miami Vice brought me here lol

[@sabinereich6593]

Einfach nur geil

[@brokebyducati]

This song literally guts me to this day for a million different reasons -- I pray there's something in the current generation's music that can literally do the same but I'm not holding out hope. This is pure magic

[@divernater]

What a gem, from one of the most prolific producers musicians ever. I'd not even known Rupert made this. How superb!

[@1vamusoto1956]

i didn't bought the cd...it came to me. somebody put it in my stuff...now it is one of my best music - cd's. the value in my mind is more from year to year. ... very good job, old fellows. as long as i breathe, i 'll never forget you. (born '56)

[@gerardskehan4096]

Julian Clary is hilarious as 'keyboardist' Leo Hurll. Love it!

[@119Agent]

Did he just get models to play the bandmembers? I never understood what Hines's plan was for Thinkman. Did he want us to think it was a real band? Or just separate his work based on sound and message?

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

@@119Agent he thought he was too old so he formed a "band" as his creative outlet. The actual list of collaborators on Thinkman albums make Unkle feature galore seem tame - legit who's who of 80s musicians

[@kankusho1904]

Don’t know what’s blown my mind more, the fact I’ve finally found this song after years like most of you, or the fact that Julian Clary was employed by Rupert Hine as a fake keyboard player!!!!!!!

[@Bisonkid]

The song comes from the album "The Formula" - originally conceived as a soundtrack to a film that never got made (about media terrorists 'Thinkman'). A really good album - check it out.

[@seanmaguire2073]

Brings back tons of 80s memories! Epic tune

[@vinto34]

Good old rupert hine...great producer and artist.

[@sarahshowalter9539]

This just about sums up the fun in "mood" music featured in the Miami Vice adventures, how about that Pal! Good times.....

[@andieyrich8928]

80s to the max - loving ths one! soundtrack of my youth.

[@LeBurgerVegan]

Dad bought me some vinyl records on the net for little money. Found Thinkman's album between The Fixx's "Reach The Beach" and Living In A Box's eponymous album. I really liked "Best Adventures" and "The Formula" and I'm glad they're on KZbin and Spotify but it saddens me to see that Thinkman is this much underrated.

[@awizardatruestar]

No group - just Rupert trying to break the record company paradigm. Julian Clary a star is born!

[@AurasSparsas]

This reminds me a Miami Vice episode.

Klasse Hit,einfach geil.

[@ralfi1221]

Another alltime classic from the much too young died Rupert. Good, that he has taken the LP-version of this song for the clip, the 7" has additional keyboards, which do not sound so very good.

[@MovieMad007]

Yup just been watching "Red Tape" - episode opening early morning Nemo Hotel bust Lou Diamond Phillips co-stars

[@SandsOfArrakis]

And Aragorn getting blown up :)

[@Soreea]

Hey Man, great, thanks for posting!! Very good sound and quality!!! Takes me back in the 80s, when I was much younger... and these sounds built the sound of my dreams...

[@detlefs3086]

Yes...die habe ich sogar noch als Maxi Single

[@Elitehengst]

Das ganze Album war super. Habe ich damals blind gekauft aufgrund einer sehr guten Rezension in einer HiFi-Fachzeitschrift und wurde nicht enttäuscht.

[@jaybone58]

60's, 70's era music culminating in the '80s! '80s had style.

[@jeremyr4812]

This is really quite good. Given his producer cred, I'm surprised this didn't get more play. Or any, outside of Miami Vice

[@vanseventy]

Thanks for posting this! Greatest era of music!

[@jesusrenteria2240]

Ive been trying to find out who sings this song ive heard it on the red tape episode it's sounds real good..finally ...it' just pop out of nowhere I finally get to hear it over and over again..cool yes!!

This was actually a breakup song for me, many years ago.

[@oliverbundrueck4824]

Das war so der Ausdruck der Freiheit. Der Hunger nach Erfahrung in meinem Leben über das ich bei dem Tracks wehmütig zurück denke...Und ja geil ich war mittendrin als 71er Jahrgang...alleine diese Musik mit diesem unendlichen Input der 80er der mich so lange treu begleitet mit den Erinnerungen die mich auch bis jetzt begleiten.. und auch im neuen da immer mal rein werkeln..Ach schön Musik ist soooooooooo wichtig..ok ich hör auf...😀

[@anjahenkes1733]

[@matthiassehring1337]

Auf bei mir hat dieses Lied und die gesamte Zeit der 80er eine besondere Bedeutung.... ich würde sie immer und immer wieder erleben wollen. Und hätte ich eine Zeitmaschine das wäre mein erstes Ziel. Wer kommt mit ?

[@MrUnstoppable1964]

@Matthias Sering: Dann schaue dir mal den Spielfilm "Sing Street" und die Serie "Ashes to Ashes" an. Das wird dir beides sehr gefallen. Auch der aktuelle Spielberg-Film "Ready Player One" hat viele Anspielungen aus den 80ern.

**One of mr Hines top hits!!**

[@nmycon]

the singer is the only "real" band member, all the others are actors miming for the music video. the Thinkman albums are Rupert Hine solo albums with contributions from various guest musicians.

[@andrewshydlowsky6173]

Rupert Hine played all the Instruments and U are correct that he did it all including producing, Financing, engineering and did it all here in Canada. The Formula remains one of my top ten "ALBUMS" of all time.

[@Retroscoop]

I admit I'm more fan of pure instruments bands and less the cold electronics, but this band deserved better sales figures than they reached.

[@kristina80ification]

I love this "band", but I doubt they were hurting for money, as they weren't really a band at all, it was just a project, an experiment of sorts by Rupert Hine, a very prolific and successful producer from the 80s, the "band was pretty much just him, the "members" of the band, other than himself were all actors.
