This brings back so many memories of this time period. I was a senior in high school in the states. This wasn't played on the radio on my area, I had to catch it on MTV or buy the tape or CD. I've always wondered how this band got on, being 3 popular stars. I never knew that had being working together during Techinique. This music is uplifting to this day.
I love All 3 Electronic albums . Johnny Marr what can you say ? The Smiths, The The , Electronic... doesn't matter...having Johnny Marr in any kind of situation is going to give a group or in this case duo a chance to create great songs.
What more can be added about this wonderful union between two great artists? It's been 30 years and I'm still here listening to their first album as if it were the first time, every song is a beautiful pearl and I also put the remixes and all the B-Sides into it. My wish is to see them together again for a fourth album, am I asking too much?
I have there first album .....on tape (orange coloured i think 🤔 photo inc ...) Brilliant songs . Every beat Free will Soviet i cant remember them to hand ....but it got me through shity school ...😮 Played it on my AIWA dolby C . Top quality walkman though. Surround sound this is 1991 maybe 🤔
Electronic were pure fire🔥🔥🔥 As great as New Order are, I also really loved Electronic, I think they were musically the stuff of dreams 🎶🎵 It's a real pity they never hung around but understandably they had other commitments Brilliant to hear Bernard mention depechemode touring alongside way back then🔥🔥🔥🔥 absolutely terrific to see Electronuc re release 'Get the message' What an absolutely topsiding album which i still have on cD from years back, my time as a weary, but optimistic teenager, full of optimism The re-relesse will come with some rare tracks & remixes, and rarer stuff by the guys, Many love new order, totally get that as their 🔥 🔥 But really, Electronic are way, way up there for me, Absolutely loved you guys and I just wish Electronic had continued, they were absolutely topsiding, Electronic were and always will be a part of me 🔥🎹🔥🎸🎹 Thank you Electronic, for you've been such a big part of my music influences and for the memories your music played a big part in for me and helped shape my taste and the stuff I love today I fkn love you guys man💙🎹🔥🎸🔥🎹
My buddy Bryan turned down Shea, but it was amazing for him to run into Johnny and Chris from the Boys and record in this really old studio in Oil City.
...by this time The Smiths seemed *ancient, like a band from the 1880s....they were doing Mind Bomb and Technique and* doing THESE....wearing Travel Fox trainers and massive flares and cool haircuts....
Ah, Travel Fox....been trying to remember that brand for yonks. I had a pair in the early 90s and I thought they were the bees knees. None of my friends had heard of them, and that just made it cooler for me!
I loved my Colours by Alexander Julian shirts in the 80/90's, not sure if they were a UK thing. Still have a couple... That's a Stone Island shirt Marrs had on, $$.
