Back in 1988 when I got the album on cassette, I played it until it died in 1989 when I was 21. Fortunately, I found a CD in of the same album in the '90s and then converted it to MP3 and can listen anytime I desire, but it had a special place in my life 30 years ago, when I was young and thought I was in love. Ah, to be young and insane again!
I still have mine that I bought in 1988. I remember hearing it on the local AM station late at night and freaking out because it had samples from Star Trek. That tinkly, bell-like sequence just before the bridge still affects me the same way it did back in '88.
George Bratcher : The year your cassette died I turned 18. I'm three years younger than you. I enjoyed this song then and still do nearly 31 yrs later my friend.
I so remember when information society first came out with this song, I went straight to the music to buy the cd, unfortunately they were sold out. So I had to buy the cassette and then how to turn around and buy a Walkman too. Old-school listening devices back, that's what I use to call them. Everytime when I rode my skateboard 🛹 I just had to listen to information society. If my cassette tape wasn't in my walkman, then I wouldn't ride my skateboard. It is now 2021 and this song is still fantastic, still listening to it and I'll never get tired of it. Great music back then, someone that music is pretty good today not by much
This song always reminds me of a girl I had a crush on in highschool. Of course I was in highschool the year it came out. My teen years we're pretty cool, the music was great. Except that I never did hook up with that girl and we lost touch years ago. Oh wait.... Facebook exists now! Lol (maybe I should try to find her). She's probably married by now, she was hot.
I was in 'Hard Rock' bands around this time and I wore the grooves off this album. My bandmates thought I was crazy to listen tho this... haha silly bandmates! 🤘
Keep your hearts as pure as possible it's not a game out here. block the wicked and keep God first💚 "I know I can break you down, but what good would it do?" Praise the Lord or the God that you serve for those who are good in high places. Some folks dont care about ruing people's lives for nothing Im a witness to that,it's not right and it's no fu.. God is real Information Society Thank you for this on. God bless you and yours daily❤❤❤❤❤ 🙋🏾♀️ I dont wanna know what you're doing. I'm satisfied with seeing you do wel.. Believe that💙💚
My goodness! I can’t find the words to describe how much I love this song! ❤️💕❤️ There’s just something about 80s music that makes me 😍😍😍 Perfect song for a summer-time drive in a convertible!
Discovered this band when I was around 9 or 10, fell in love with this song instantly, and 30 years later it's still one of my favorites. InSoc forever!
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? (PURE ENERGY), OVER THE SEA, & WALKING AWAY by INFORMATION SOCIETY are in my opinion the best techno songs ever recorded. GREAT 80s HITS!
Plead the blood of Jesus on your mind. Daily...( By faith). Beat the sick evil wicks ..in this information power, and mammon, physical world. Jesus stripped those foul spirits. They are subject to the Jesus church. Don't believe the lies. Shine a light on this sick satanic system from hell.!!No Joke. Believers are Victorious. Read all about it..in The Bible. God's Word is the final Authority. ...even satan knows that!
I used to play this song in a band in the 80'S along with Lay on your love on me and Repetition. We even sample the "Pure Energy" on a Ensoniq Mirage. I was the drummer and of course I used electronic drums back then, Simmons, Tama and Roland gear.
Heard this once in 3rd grade Completely forgot about it... Walking through the grocery store just now and this came on Brought back a flood of memories Had to come here...
@@brandonbuzz7075 like l better than my highschool. We had to rock out to Electric Avenue in some weird line dance ai swear I could still do to this day. Haha
@@dalemichelle7488 synchronized dancing was definitely part of our exercise routine too… also, serendipitously I had just rewatched Pineapple Express last week before it was removed from Netflix and Electric Avenue was playing in one of the scenes and has been stuck in my head for days
From production standpoint when you consider how primitive computer recording was at that time, the technicality of this track is mind blowing. I would struggle and still not succeed doing anything remotely resembling such tightness TODAY, with all of our technology advancements. I would love to have been there to see the creative process for this one. And this was one of first tapes I ever actually bought (not copied lol) - I wanted the quality of recording to be as crisp as possible. Hearing it on a cassette was magic - the warmth of tape gave this digital gem that one ambiance missing from CD.
There was something magical about that brief time when analog and digital intermingled freely. Most artists went digital, some stayed 'Retro', but very few still really capture that hybrid feel. I would say Beck is a good example of that vibe.
My song like that is "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" by Claudja Barry, which I used to dance to at the Shakey's Pizza in Edmonton, AB. But I'm about 10 years older than you are... :)
shg stewart Mine is “Yesterday” by The Beatles. Heard it in my high chair while my mom made breakfast. She always listened to the radio in the morning. Stay at home mom. Life was good. She’s 84 now.
Despite this happens more than 30 years ago still looks insane: this band comes to Brazil and to my city. Was necessary inform the local media that the band was the real deal, not a cover band, cause the people don't believe that an international band will go perform on a small city.
@@RicFrugoli que irado! Interessante demais histórias como essa. Explica um pouco do porquê InSoc ser uma banda grande por entre quem curtiu o auge deles no final dos anos 80/começo dos anos 90 aqui no Brasil.
One of my older siblings graduated from school in 1992, and they had a graduation party that lasted until somewhere between 10 and 11p.m. I recall my parents getting me away from the party when it started getting late (I was just 8 at the time), so I stayed in a far corner of the house and listened as this song played in the distance. Good times.
It's worked so far, but we're not out yet I wanna know what you're thinking There are some things you can't hide I wanna know what you're feeling Tell me what's on your mind Pure energy Pure energy Here I am in silence Looking 'round without a clue I find myself alone again All alone with you I can see behind your eyes The things that I don't know If you hide away from me How can our love grow?

Sick wicks. Information is power to wicks. Meaning the illuminati, and they go to the dark side. They lie, cheat and steal. This is a spiritual star wars battle. Go to the light. Jesus is the light of the world. Fight in prayer.
I had a dream for some reason with 2:45-3:00 of my weenie dog who recently died and was rifting towards the light. Amazing on why or how this part of this song was involved in this dream state but it makes me tear up incredibly
In the 1967 Season 1 episode "Errand of Mercy," Spock and Captain Kirk visit the planet Organia, where their citizens have advanced beyond the need for physical bodies. When two of them vanish in front of them, Spock says, "Fascinating. Pure energy.
A música nunca morre somente pessoas que inventao músicas que não presta que polui nossos ouvidos se pode voutar ao passado trazendo ao presente em nossas memórias 👍👍👍🎵🎵🎶🎶💯🎉👋🙏
Also to the creator of the video - well done for adding the nice touch of album cover "colourful band members" flash and blink as if to the rhythm of the song. :)
I own and have only ever listened to Hack since I was a kid. I'll have to expand my horizons on this band. This song is awesome, especially the anvil metal banging part.

Bought this cassette in 1988. Used it in a college presentation. Lol I used to love this band back in the day.
(pure energy)
Somehow this one gets forgotten in the pantheon of great 80s songs
not by me 😊
@@Silvio67 not by the grocery store I work in...every single day.
Studies show Information Society moves product off of grocery shelves.
the synth during the 2nd verse is genius and beautiful, brilliant accompaniment
Someone once commented ,they were way ahead of their time...I believe so.

Right There With You Brother..!! 👍
Back in 1988, I was born. I guess that says something about my parents influence on my taste in music.
I have discount store Gemini blank tapes, the cheapest of the cheap that I recorded as a kid back in '88 that still play today
I still have mine that I bought in 1988. I remember hearing it on the local AM station late at night and freaking out because it had samples from Star Trek. That tinkly, bell-like sequence just before the bridge still affects me the same way it did back in '88.

The chimes from 2:28 to 2:43 are beautiful. If you have good high-frequency hearing, take note of how glassy they are.
yo that's a great attention to detail thank you
Pling pling, plingalinga ting ting 🎶
A DX7 sampled by an E-Mu Emulator II. Classic tone.
It's on all choruses, not just that one..
The minimalism of some songs of the 80s is extremely sticky in the ears and at the same time turn into masterpieces.

I’m so grateful that my parents raised me on some of the best music of their times ✌️
For real. My dad had running on vinyl, and this as well...and the promise by when in rome. Good shit.

yes thank your parents
Live it.
So cool living thru it.....especially knowing it is special while being in the moment....for a decade
Now that is Pure Energy 😋
I absolutely agree ❤
Spock and McCoy in a song from the 80's TOO MUCH.........LOVE IT
A true INSOC fan. Do you like "Repetition"? 1:27
Captain Kirk is in there too.Evedently someone in that band must have been a Trekkie.
This song It gives me Andrenalin.nice beat,New wave, 1986
I was in 'Hard Rock' bands around this time and I wore the grooves off this album. My bandmates thought I was crazy to listen tho this... haha silly bandmates! 🤘
A smokin’ if not one of the best eighties tunes, drum track, computer effects and all. Not unlike a New Order style.

GREAT 80s HITS!
Binge watching the original Star Trek...Season 1, Episode 27 "Errand of Mercy" Spock utters those words.....PURE ENERGY!
A Trekkie : D
And doctor McCoy at the beginning... "It's worked so far, but we're not out yet" 😎🖖
@@wimhof705 The Dr. McCoy quote was from "I, Mudd" right?
And don't forget the infamous "Destructionnn" from "The Ultimate Computer" !

And now
Finally
SOLACE
You could be forgiven for thinking it was Duran Duran. 😂
Pure sound with pure energy
This song is definitely a head bobber!
“It’s pure energy captain”
Love ❤ this song.80's was by far best decade.
This band was from Minneapolis...the Minneapolis Sound was fun af 82-89
82 - 89? Macross?
Energy is in ALL things....
Word! One of my all-time favorite 80s songs! 👊💪👍
‘89 was probably the best year for Top 40 in the ‘80’s.
The best band of the world... FOREVER information... Congrats from Brazil Tommy...
A great, great song. A personal favourite. 😎
I love this song. Eighties sythn POP at its best!
I used to have this album as a CD+G. It was fascinating listening to the music and watching the visuals about the group.
One of the all-time best songs of the 80's. Love it to death. =)
Me too big time
I be honest this music remind me Puerto Rico 1988 after freestyle music from New York and the was the best time from the 80 big time 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Música boa que traz boas lembranças! I love you Information Society 🎶❤
Bought the 12" single when it first came out and still have it today.

Loved this song when it came out, it got a lot of radio and MTV time!
Back when MTV had MUSIC on.
Earmarks of the 80s,last of the personality decade for music.. in my opinion from the 50s to 80s original music!!!!👍💗

Been a big InSoc fan since Day 1. But I MADLY loved their music 1988-92, up till 1995.
Grew up in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s… this is my music 🎶. Great for working out!
E anos 80!!! Quanta saudade da melhor época da minha vida...Se um dia algum iluminado construir a máquina do tempo, me avisa.
Eu também quero voltar lá nos anos 80. A melhor etapa da minha vida.
Foi somente da sua vida nao. Foram os melhores tempos da historia da humanidade.

"Errand of Mercy"

There are some things you can't hide
I wanna know what you're feeling

I find myself alone again
All alone with you
I can see behind your eyes
The things that I don't know
If you hide away from me
How can our love grow?

I saw then in concert 1988. Great show.
Priceless classic
Today I learned "pure energy" is said by Spock.
And the 1st line is said by Dr. McCoy, It worked so far but were not out yet.
I hope you are enjoying this song. I remember it fondly from 1988 or 89. And today I learned that the first line is from Dr. McCoy.

Just simple and splendid . remember when mtv used this as their starter, the cuts where equal with the drum beats.

0:19-0:43 was used on commercials for a local indoor skating rink in my area for many years
I found this tape in my driveway when i was a child. It was my first tape ever.
First heard this when I was in middle school, the radio station I listened to played it early in the morning before I got ready to go to school.
