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.
Привет фанатам хорошей музыки! Эта группа очень самобытная и оригинальная. Таких всегда было мало, а уж в нынешние времена и вовсе нет, к сожалению!💯🔥🤝
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 😅👍🏻👍🏻
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!
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.
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)
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
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?
@@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
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 RU-vid and Spotify but it saddens me to see that Thinkman is this much underrated.
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!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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...
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...😀
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 ?
@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.
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!!
Geraldine Mcewans son Greg Crutwell is part of the backing group playing drums. Was an actor like his mum but then disappeared off screen after doing george of the jungle with brendan fraser. Now he is chairman and manager of Balham football club.
I have this album! A radio station was changing formats and me and the Houseman from a nearby hotel found tons of albums that were being thrown out! Just popped into my head today, didn't think I'd actually find it here! (My turntable is currently not working).
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.
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.
By the way, do you remember on this album, THE DAYS OF A CHAMPION ?... "No more prizes, no more accolads"... etc Probably the song of an old boxer... 😘
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.
