RUPERT HINE immunity - 81 FULL ALBUM 

I will never understand why this album wasn't much bigger. Unique, diverse, beautifully produced and well written. And it has aged incredibly well. An all time alternative classic in my book.

one of my favourites during my growing years....... its was an amazing album to listen and chill too

Bought the LP when it first came out and I'm still listening to it after 40+ years. Absolutely wonderful music.

Super awesome in depth poetry for the ages.

RIP Rupert Hine ❤️❤️❤️😞😞😞

R.I.P. Rupert Hine, brilliant producer for himself and many in the business👏🏻👏🏻

I remember when this came out 1981, I was stunned because this was so different and had such a dark note. Still a great album.

I was lucky enough to meet Rupert a few years ago. A very humble man. He shaped me musically like no one else. An absolute legend. RIP

Rupert played live in my tiny home town back then (21-7-1981, rural Winterswijk, The Netherlands). No one over there had ever heard of Hine, but many just decided to visit the concert as a way to spend a nice summer evening, not really interested in the music at all. As an early teenager (I was 14 at the time) I had been mesmerised for a while by Hine and had played my parents' copy of Immunity (LP) many many times. My mum got a copy from her brother who owned and still owns a record strore. Hine has a special place in my musical heart. He has shaped my sense for 'the uncanny' in music which I explored later on through f.i. the work of the Legendary Pink Dots. Hine's been a pioneer in electronic pop music and was far ahead of many contempories in blending different sounds and keeping an eye on the over all sound quality. His collaboration with Jeanette Obstoj shouldn't be underestimated. Her lyrics are brilliant. Listen f.i. to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MUS9C2fz40w.html

Rupert was an innovator, just imagine we are in the begin on the eighties.... a magician of sounds : every songs tells you a full story and makes you shiver. A huge legendary musician. Rest in peace Rupert

Immunity is strange, beautiful and wonderful its the power of just how Rupert Hine became one of the most amazing and influential music producers

As an anxious, awkward teen, growing up in Canada this new music spoke to me. It is a part of my lifetrack now in my 50s.

This album is a masterpiece.

RIP Rupert. I love your music since more than 40 years and I will always love it.

I just discovered Rupert and I find this album fabulous

Viva rupert hine

A one of kind record (like many in the first part of the early '80s) never to be repeated. From start to finish, brilliant, mysterious, and as Rupert himself said "the background noises in the songs are intentionally placed.

After all these years it still sounds great.

Thomas Dolby MUST have listened to and been inspired by this musical gem.

I still live in Holland, have been all my life, and this album I remember like it was yesterday !

Great hidden gem!!! Brilliant production and songwriting....reminiscent of Tony mansfield

Big fan of the 80s, started to collect some records and never heard of this fellow. The album art defintely mesmerized me so I grabbed it…Turns out this dudes pretty great! I dig that he uses an alternative style during this era, can’t wait to find more on him! RIP

Found Rupert Hine through Better off Dead (1985) film, incredible soundtrack

A classic eighties album.

Love this song tekst sublime... his album waving not drowning is so good

1981: I used to live in Holland and listened to this brand new release :) Samsara...

I think Donovan worked on this album, could be wrong. Fantastic Album. Met my future wife because of this album , I now have 7 grand kids and married 40 years.

Fabuleux Album !!!!RIP Rupert Hine.....

Amazing artist and lovely fella.

Another music legend gone...RIP Rupert hine.

Альбом из моей молодости. Редкий, не очень известный, но для меня - сколько положительных ассоциаций!

Make a Wish, Overwhelmingly devastating power.

Great Album. R.i.P

Here we go! World class still!

I just can´t help but to think, that especially track number 5, reminds me of so many Depeche Mode tracks. I have loved Depeche Mode the best group, ever since their beginning, 1981 and still do, but I´m so sure that Martin Gore was listening to this same album as I was back then (1981) and am now (2021), I used to listen to this album back in 1981 back and forth and I feel that Rupert was soooo ahead of his time. This album´s sonic world is so TODAY, 2021. Listen to Depeche Mode´s tracks like "Rush", "Stripped" and "Fly on The Windscreen" and something of "Dream On". You´ll find the similarities. Not a bad thing, well not to me!!

Sorry to see this man go. A super talent mostly ignored in the states.

Solid album

Thanks for your work !

Thank you for posting this!!!

top music, same level Gary Numan, both toppers!

this is way better then anything phil collins did :P

R.i.p.

Best

I remember ...

Vértigo. Un flippé. Directement ou cœur.

Very good but also rather dark. Seems that we are all insane. Maybe:The human race can not stop fighting against other countrys. Most of us see: My father has a bigger car, so i will buy also a bigger car. Rich people get richer, poor have nothing. Meanwhile a friend of me, who was living from jobcenter got no money from them. He is 54 years old, has a doctor in physics and a doctor in informatik. He had until he was 52 years old many choices: Work on a university to hold seminars for young semester but he liked it more to discover the "Quantenphysik". He was one of the first people, which could proove in a team with mathematics, that there is nor matery. First they told that he and his team were insane. No he was right. He explained what is in the atoms. Even Protons and Neutrons -no, He worked more found the quarks, and then he found the strings. But they are not of matery, They are as Vibrations like those on a violin.No materie. After that he could explain that we are living in more thn 25 Dimensions. 0 the point, 1 a line, 2 a circle, 3 a room. And we are all lost in these dimensions. Because we are embedded in time.Time has only one direction. We all get older. And we can not escape. Einstein and E=m x c² is true. Light has a speed of 300.000 km/s. But we can not reach it. If we reach 90% of this speed, we get heavy and our mass is going to infinite. If we reach 300.000 km/s time is standing still. At this point if it would be possible to go faster we would come back in time. And he found out that not only light or waves are coming in packets. No, time and the room too. Google it if You think that i lie. He got no job and had to sell his car, his house, everything, Then he was a poor man.Jobcenter gave him 40 m² to live. Now the energy coasts so much, that jobcenter stopped giving money to him. He had to live on the street. He was drunken everyday. Now he depends on alcohol. Next week i will drive 900 km to Munich to search him. Hope i will find him. Sorry for my bad English !

estoy acá por Jaime Roos. Por cierto, tremendo.

Så jävla tungt !!

Rip Rupert Hine

recommandé par benoit sabatier!, qui a recommandé aussi le 1er LP de tony banks

Seems impossible to find "Introduction to the Menance" somewhere on youtube

Keyboards have a bit of "Yanni" feel...

Only someone troubled can make an album so strange .

Have you noticed how much Rupert´s voice is like David Bowie´s or vice verser? Wish they´d done a single together!! Now they´re both gone....!!!!! So sad and what a waste!

Remaster with b sides please.soon.

Track 2 should be first track 9 should be last, track 10 should be second

" misplaced love " is brilliant but then nothing else. One of the worst lps ever with one brilliant song.
