I grew up with Art of Noise and remember vividly when Max Headroom came to be. Loved the series. The simple fact that they were able to use make-up to so accurately make him look like CGI still blows my mind.
@@JC-ts3xx Ummm...this wasn't CGI. Matt Frewer would spend hours in make-up and be almost sculpted to appear like he was computer generated. This was some of the best make-up special effects ever in use. It was brilliant for it's time and would be even today.
lol yes! I just recently discovered that. I thought it was just some combination of computer jargon when I was a kid, until I saw a sign above the entrance of a parking garage in downtown West Palm Beach then had to take a pic of it.
I once ran head first into a Max Headroom barrier when I was pissed one night and trying to get a bus home from Manchester. I woke up the next morning with a cracked rib, chipped collar bone, and a massive gash across my forehead. I told everybody I got into a fight because it was marginally less embarrassing than the truth. As far as I know my mind wasn't downloaded whilst I was unconscious though.
God this takes me back! Robert Allsopp and I worked on the UK chat show version of this, supplying two fibreglass jackets for his character. We also attended the studio recording which was quite surreal. Ah happy times. I miss them....
That fooled me as an 80s kid. At the time I thought it was done with cutting edge computer graphics, only later to find out it was some cutting edge make up and costuming!
This came out just as I was starting out in broadcasting school. It was also the first single I played on my first gig in Boston radio. Dedicated to the Broadcasting school in Boston that put me there.
I heard this song in 2132 and came back here to comment on it, before the ancestor simulation we're in allowed us to realize time travel is just rerouting some simple source code subroutines. ;) Cheers and enjoy the construct!
Back again! Delicious audio sculpture!!!!!!! I am so glad I an 57 and had the magic of hearing this when it came out and blew our minds! Still Slaps!!!
The 80´ music is such a fat package of sounds, rythems, voices, and neverending melodys I listen to. For about 25 y I just missed to enjoy the art of noise. Now it´s good again.
This is so incredibly creative and brilliant. The world needs a reboot of this guy, he would be huge given most people under 60 were brought up around computers.
I just recently got three Art of Noise CDs from the library. I'm old school and don't have streaming services etc.. If you've never listened to Art of Noise with headphones on your missing out. The sound mixing is amazing. A really awesome group of musicians.
Maybe it was the essence of "1984." Synthpop was on steroids at that time. It wasn't the best music but it sold well, which was good enough for the yuppies.
Ah the good old The Art of Noise, have literally every single album of them, all 12 inches, all CD's. Was and still be a huge fan of them. Probably one of the best studio band of it's time.
So that was an experience. Max Headroom is before my time. I had no reason to click onto this video other than out of sheer curiosity, and stayed til the end, enjoying this rather surreal bit of visual design. At the exact moment the song ends, I get issued an item on the game I'm playing. Thanks, Max!
1:53 "Oh sweet slumber come shroud me in thy purple cloak." As someone who frequently couldn't sleep during my youth, this was my mantra. Always loved this song, and Max. Loved that Ernest Cline uses him in the novel Ready Player 1. :D

Max Headroom used to DJ a weekly, 30 minute pop video program on TV in the 80's and he'd make jokes like about going golfing except he didn't have legs so his handicap would be pretty high. Just fking great. Haven't been able to find the shows anywhere since.
In the middle of the cold war, at a listening station near the iron curtain, a few of us working the night shift watched this video a few times each shift in the snackbar, while we chugged down mugs of terrible coffee....to help keep us, ironically, from falling asleep whilst "on watch".

That's a latex mask! Back in the day, we didn't have CGI that could render like that...or rather, it would have cost unfeasible amounts of money, no TV studio would have ever paid that much...
Prosthetics added to Matt Frewer's head (mostly his hair and forehead), and the plastic chest-up suit. The rest was Frewer's mannerisms and some splicing video to make him have jerky, digital-like motions.

That's easy - the backgrounds were CGI - done on a Commodore Amiga.
That's a latex mask! Back in the day, we didn't have CGI that could render like that...or rather, it would have cost unfeasible amounts of money, no TV studio would have ever paid that much...
Galvion Authirion DuGont did you see the reboot concept in the comments? It’d be great if a studio picked that up
It'll all make up and lighting really.
So this is what happened to Joe Biden.
I have looked for this song for YEARS!
I wholeheartedly approve of this video!
Back in the day I thought these were computer graphics. Man was I fooled :). Cleverly done.
How was it done ?
maybe plastic mask?
Prosthetics added to Matt Frewer's head (mostly his hair and forehead), and the plastic chest-up suit. The rest was Frewer's mannerisms and some splicing video to make him have jerky, digital-like motions.
I honestly thought that right now, seeing it for the first time
I don't recall this one, but I loved Max Headroom. Thanks for sharing.
Totally underrated group.
As quick he arrived, as quick he departed. But what an impact he made on 80s culture.
Ahead Of Its Time . Long Live Max Headroom !!!
Disney Pixar called!
Thank you, I approve this message. LOL
This was definitely part of what made the 80s so cool.
I have no Words to say how this track Blew My Mind... 2 Icons in the same Space 😎🙏
I can't sleep worth a poop. And this is right up my alley. I got a good laugh it. It's just plain funny. And if you don't think so, take a hike
Loved Max Headroom to many people just don't have enough imagination to wrap their heads around a show this original.
If you want to watch Max Headroom go to the streaming channel Tubi. Plus they have Alien Nation the movie I think but also the series.
The show isn’t the original one actually. Before the show there was a film. Which was British
Shame this isn't in Stereo, his voice moved between the left and right speakers in the original song, which added to the quirkiness.
That's 😎
yes it did !!! good memories!
Doesn't have the video but here's the remaster they did a few years ago

I miss having a stereo as a kid.
