Xymox - Obsession (Club Mix)

Most of the footage contained in this edit came from video restored and upscaled to HD by the very talented luvpuppypt (check out his work on his channel - incredible.) I re-edited his clip and some other low res footage from the official club mix clip and added digital audio of the club mix. There is an upload of the official club mix video on youtube but the video and audio quality is not great, so I made this edit.

5100 views after one decade. This should have been viral+. There was no hope in '87, there's even less now.

JUST REDISCOVERED THIS GEM AFTER ALMOST 30 YEARS- MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Same here. I had the cd and the 12" single.

Until recently the Obsession (Club Mix) was only available on CD from the ultra rare Obsession UK CD Single (Polydor 871 707-2). In 2007 a remastered version of the track was included on the Canadian released compilation Retro:Active6 - Rare & Remixed...you can usually find it on Amazon and other places on the web.

The original video footage was taken at Belchite, Espana. It is relative and as poignant today as it was when it came out in the 1980s... Franco and the Fascists had layed waste the entire city and its citizens who were seeking a life free from dictators (be they capitlists or otherwise) by way of apocalyptic destruction and brutality, with the aid of German planes and the utter disregard by the western powers who saw it as a direct threat to their hegemony. The ruins of Belchite were left and the city never rebuilt, as Franco left it as a warning of the iron boot to all who dare to be free of tyrants and demigogues. Kudos to Xymox for having the wherewithall to reference it in their video!

cool stuff

[@hondasaregay100]

why can't i find this "clubmix" version anywhere?? anybody know where i can get this because itunes dont have it

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Of course itunes "dont" have it. It's Apple. Apple is about as relevant as Justin Bieber.

I want you to do this extended version again. But first I will provide you with a very good quality file. The last attempt I made to remaster the horrific quality file I have in my collection was quite poorly done and rushed. I've spent a long time on this new version and it's totally amazing. When it's finished I will give you a download link for a high bitrate file with pcm audio you can use.

[@DJPR3P]

Sure thing. I would love to!

[@DJPR3P]

I now have a pretty good VOB file of the official extended mix video if you want that one.

[@LuvPuppy]

DJPR3P Ah yes I would love a copy of that. In my old age I haven't had the opportunity or energy to chase after little treats like that :-)

[@DJPR3P]

***** Sent you the links to two files through the YT messaging system. Let me know if you got them or if YT blocked the links and I can get them to you another way.

[@LuvPuppy]

I've replied to you twice on youtube. Perhaps it didn't get through? I hate the way youtube has changed so many things. If it wasn't broken why fix it? LOL

[@Cutirimicuador]

Sounds to much like the group "The Cure" . . .
