    One if not the most underrated singles of the 80s. A true classic which deserved to be a massive hit

      It was a massive hit to extreme skiers around the world.. It was the soundtrack of one of the most epic ski movies of all time called the Blizzard of Ahhh's.

    OMG, the sounds of the artists of ZTTRecords. I spent so much of my late teens and early 20s living the Colorado ski bum life. The magical movies of Greg Stump featured so many of these artists. The chords transport me to an intoxicating world of beauty, risk and thrills. My head swirls like a hot tub of nostalgia listening to this!

    Un grand moment des années 80's. Claudia Brucken et Thomas Leer formaient un groupe que l'on aurait bien aimé continuer d'entendre ! J'avais acheté le maxi CD en import de Snobbery & Decay qui est un must dans une collection. Don't never forget this title

      +Barney Rubble This is kind of political...obviously against "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" with Robin Leach (sp?) and conspicuous consumption. As for art production values, I think the band had at least one art student as a driving force.

    • @jonathanwarner1844
      @jonathanwarner1844 8 років тому +2

      The "unstable economy" reference was probably a reference to the Thatcherite freeing of banking and the City of London which ended in the crash of 1987, and which set us up for the problems we have now. Quite prophetic, and a message we could have listened to.

      I used to work in a video store in Aspen in 1987. Maltese Flamingo, Blizzard of AAAhs, The Good , the Rad and the Gnarly, Greg Stump changed my life. Yeah, I came to this page to reactivate that nugget of my old withered brain. I can envision every cliff jump, evey carved turn or powder run. Propaganda's "A Secret Wish" too. Just play it all on loop when I am a bedridden old corpse.

    This song has a great message. And I love that very last shot of Thomas sitting alone in a darkened corner. It kind of sums up the whole point of the song. Especially these lyrics: "Come tomorrow, the dream might blow away, Guilt and sorrow, the price you have to pay."

  • @abyssal-plains
    @abyssal-plains 3 роки тому +2

    One of the best tracks of the 80's imho. We now live in a time where technology gives music artists limitless possibilities, yet all I hear in the modern music scene are clone tracks in all genres. This was created with (albeit the top gear available at the time) nothing like the technology we have now. As the Orson Welles quote goes ... . The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.. . And as the great Alan Wilder says .. . Trevor Horn is a clever man. As for Claudia.. . Stunning woman with a great distinctive voice.

    You guys should check Thomas' solo album "From Sci-fi to Barfly", it's one of the most beautiful collection of songs I've ever heard in my life, especially the #2 track "Where've you gone", his voice is so hauntingly beautiful, a modern day crooner imo.

    Must have had my head in the sand ............................... this is the first time I have seen the Video for this single, however as with most of the ZTT releases the edited 7" version is just a fraction of the full blown (& I guess the various extended mixes that were available).
    I only had the 12" extended "That's entertainment" Vinyl mix, which does give this song justice (believe me), until the Anthology CD set came out when other mixes appeared - Dated now by today's standard I feel, but still gets 5 stars from me nevertheless ! Pity they don't release power packed productions like this now days
