I need to get this on DVD.
The Kraftwerk footage and interview w/ Wolfgang Flur are worth it alone.
Unfortunately, part 9 is blocked on youtube by MWG.
Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage.
In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and
JG Ballard and dreamt of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.
The crossover moment came in 1979 when Gary Numan's appearance on Top of the Pops with Tubeway Army's Are Friends Electric heralded the arrival of
synthpop. Four lads from Basildon known as Depeche Mode would come to own the new sound whilst post-punk bands like Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo
took the synth out of the pages of the NME and onto the front page of Smash Hits. By 1983, acts like Pet Shop Boys and New Order were showing that the
future of electronic music would lie in dance music.
Contributors include Philip Oakey, Vince Clarke, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Gary Numan and Neil Tennant.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
DUDE! I got to get to bed, but now I can't stop watching this. AMAZING! Way in depth and freaking inspiring. Thanks for this thread. I want to see the
end. Where can we find the ending of this?
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
