@ I know but once we are, we gotta have q make a post that’s literally just an end credits scene with the full list of people that helped find every single lostwave song ever
imagine being marijn, looking at the song name "Subways Of Your Mind" and thinking "there's no way", then playing the first 2 seconds, must've been a great feeling
The fact that the band member that was contacted not only responded, but sent the EP that had Subways of Your Mind on it without actually knowing that was the song marijn was looking for is absolutely wild. Marijn didn't tell him until after he sent the EP that people had been looking for the song.
Imagine being Michael Hädrich discovering that people went nuts and created a whole community that's been going on for more than fifteen years just because of a song that you and the boys wrote forty years ago
Apparently, a few people have got in touch with a band member (Michael Hädrich), who said he had no idea so many people loved their song! I think he's even the one responsible for getting this higher quality single out, too, having attached it in a response email I think. Said he might try and re-record it with the others, too! MAN, cannot wait for FEX to get the love and fans they rightfully deserve - even just for interviews and the odd replaying!
@@AtaeHone i really hope so, though i’d imagine these guys would be nearly 60 years old if not already… hope they’ve all continued pursuing music, things are way different now
They are all still in contact, will get together tomorrow to produce more evidence because they have a lot, and then will record the song as a reunion. We got the best ending
I think we got the best possible ending to this mystery. 2 more songs, plus all the band members are still alive and want to re-record Subways of Your Mind.

I forget the name, but another band had a resurgence thanks to "lost tracks". They released their old material as an album, and people gave it a listen, buying it. Too bad my favourite early 1980s band (three albums, no hits) won't get the same resurgence of attention.
In terms of sound and style this is generally close to "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight", just slower, moodier and less discofied. The drumming and the type of tune are very similar. "I Just Died" is three years later though.

It’s wild how powerful the Internet is. The fact that we’ve been looking for this song for upwards of 20 years and some dude found it through a random newspaper and posted it up on Reddit on a random Monday without any warning is such a crazy thing. This has to be one of the Internet’s most notable achievements right?
@@arkadyshersky8704 the guy who originally uploaded the sample recorded in 1984 & was unable to identify it for 20 years as he started his search in 2004 using German language websites & later in 2007 used English language websites
These guys probably would've killed in the late eighties early nineties. it'd be wicked if this was another Panchiko situation and they reunited as unlikely as it is.
let's take a moment to appreciate how amazing the result of this search was. We started with a 1 minute snippet and ended with: 1. A full radio recording 2. The band's identity and the name of the song 3. An original and much better quality recording from the band themselves (the amount of extra musical backing in this recording is crazy) 4. 2 more songs from this band 5. A confirmation that the band is going to come back together and re-record this song fresh (and I can only assume more of their songs, because why not if you're making so much effort to come back together)?
There is already a new recording of an acoustic version by 3 of the 4 original band members ua-cam.com/video/R7YDOKG3o3A/v-deo.html And after they aired it, the drummer with whom they had lost contact with got in touch
not surprised the other two songs are so good as well, can't believe these guys didn't got more popular. makes me imagine the amount of beautiful and incredible music that has been just forgotten for decades.
It's pretty depressing knowing how much history has been lost in general. It's estimated 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are gone today, that's a shit load of stuff just gone, let alone just general personal resources and stuff on single hard drives. People need to know the imortance of backing up/archiving
There's so many bands like this, either lost to time or playing right now, struggling to become relevant. For those who say good music isn't out there anymore, they just need to look.
I used to do photo and video shoots for local bands ages ago, and I will tell you that easily 2/3 of them will go toe to toe with any billboard top 40 for musical quality. It is just happenstance, opportunity, and luck that makes a band known, or not, in my experience.
When we become a spacefaring civilization, this will be the "Battle Hymn" of the human race - a testament to how all of us can work together towards even the most senseless of common goals.
@@puls3illegalmusic This ain't rap music. Coincidence and inspiration have nothing to do with pasting snippets of a pre-existing song into a different recording. Especially not in underground New Wave bands of the early 80's. It's not like they sound the exact same, either
@@RetroGmx На самом деле, я бы удивился, если бы она называлась «Как ветер», так как эта строчка была сказана только два раза в начале песни и ее не было в припеве.
Everyone was hyped for Subways Of Your Mind (me too) But I personally think Heart In Danger is the best song here. Absolutely amazing stuff and I can't believe it was lost for so long!
If FEX reunites and plays a show it'll be the end all be all definition of lit. It would likely be by far he biggest audience they've ever played for. They must be crying tears of joy now that after 40 years, their dream finally came true.
Guys I'm going to cry, this is so fantastic for me, the Lost Wave community finally defeated the final boss, this song is so special I can't believe you found it, when you found the song EKT, I had thought it was already over, but today I see that the community has become very strong, thank you very much guys, this song marked my year 2022
I can't believe it has been found after all those all years, still feels like a dream. If the band gets back together they need to make a bandcamp account and, if possible, rerelease this album on physical media, maybe even on cassette. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Really hope we get streaming releases of whatever old stuff they have lying around! It happened to Sinking Ships, a band that was found during the search for TMS.
4:02 The song "heart in danger" is my favorite, this song gives me a sensation because its next to "SOYM" and when I hear it after listening to the first one is like the song was telling "congrats, its finally over" and the song "Heart in danger" was the credits theme song.
Talking Hands is so catchy! I bet if these guys were in somewhere like LA instead of Germany, they would've been massive in the mid-to-late 80s! Unfortunately, the music industry is biased towards Anglosphere countries like the US, UK, and Australia (but mostly the US and UK)
my favourite thing about this is that all three of these songs sound completely different from each other and have their own distinct styles. this is just straight up good music all around.
While part of me loved the mystery and wishes it was never solved, I've listened to the EP four times in a row already and I'm so happy for FEX. These guys absolutely rock and deserve every bit of recognition they have coming to them.
This just goes to show that there is so much undiscovered music out there people don’t know about or forgot about… which is why it’s important to scour the aisles of your thrift store for extra goodies.
We not only won, we won so hard. Original recording, all band members alive and giving an interview, and multiple new songs. I was never expecting all that.
This whole thing is such an interesting story, with a satisfying conclusion. Thank you for the upload. Reminds me of when I recorded a song broadcast from 91.7 Drexel University radio in 1991-2; the band was called Crashblack, and the song "Rhythms" (although I didn't know the title at the time). I lost the cassette tape, but I did remember the band name and searched record stores all over the US for years, and again online in the earlier days of YT, then gave up my search. I'm happy to say the record has been uploaded on YT about ~10 years ago, the whole album is a Darkwave banger. From that one song teenage me needed to hear the whole album, worth the wait.
This closes a mystery, but opens a second one, this Subways In Your Mind got more synths and the bass line sounds a little bit more loaded, so the version we knew all this time is maybe a demo or an earlier version....
There's three versions to this date: the one that was aired on the radio, a live concert that was uploaded on Reddit tonight, and this studio version. Probably they sent the demo to the radio first and then recorded this one later on
I'm a casual follower of TMS. Just by chance today, I decided i wanted to listen to the TMS clip tonight while I work in my hotel room. What a surprise to find that earlier today the source actually came out! Pretty damn cool!!! Now I'm distracted by listending to this and reading the subreddit, so I'm not getting any work done.
Okay... this tape has to be one of the best finds in lostwave history, if not lost media as a whole! Not only does it find a complete version of the song, the name of it, and the name of the band that made it, but it also throws two other FEX songs in there for good measure. This is truly impressive.
I love Subways of Your Mind but I'm OBSESSED with Heart In Danger! Reminds me so much like Julian Copeland. FEX FECKIN ROCKS! I can't believe after all these years we now have 4 FEX songs (Subways of your Mind, Heart in Danger, Talking Hands and from the Zeus comp, Jenny) and 3 separate versions of Subways (original, this one, and the live version) and it's all amazing! Between FEX and Who's Who (Ulterior Motives), I'm convinced the time rift has opened.
I like how at 3:41 the high pitch of the synthesizer sound like the high pitched squealing brakes on a subway train, neat detail whether it was intentional or not
Subways of Your Mind is an absolute banger of course. Coupled that with the other two songs makes me think this band could have been as big as Duran Duran or Depeche Mode
Звісно ні. По суті, лоствейв це усілякі демо чи малі альбоми старих груп які не вистрелили у свій час, а їх автори просто не існують в мережі інтернет або просто повмирали, а нам то всьо шукати))
@@dmytrorekechynsky звісно, є що шукати! Українське лостмедіа/лоствейв ком'юніті також шукає виконавця пісні "Гей, козаче, не сумуй, не плач ти". Ще є відео на ютуб від Літописця Олеся про лоствейв (як український, так і закордонний) і дві частини айсбергу українського лостмедіа - раджу до перегляду.
Thanks for dropping the entire EP! People are insanely good at finding lost media this year! Looks like I'll be adding this to my playlist until the band finally re-records this and puts it into streaming platforms!🔥
The reward of searching for lostwave is that you may find more gems than expected and these 2 extra tracks are impressive. "Subways of Your Mind" may very deservedly be this years' xmas number 1 but "Talking Hands" will be a standout track on the hugely anticipated 2025 album! 😎🎹
I'm not gonna lie, The other songs on this EP are really damn good. I understand why people wanted to find this band so much, They have really good music.
Honestly listening through this EP/demo tape, I can really appreciate the musical talent of the band members. Their ability to blend some pretty unique melodies together (especially in Talking Hands) in a way that is pleasant on the ears is probably better than some mainstream acts of the time.
You can tell that it's exactly the same guy, yet he sounds nothing like the guy from Statues in Motion in this version. The degradation of the media really did change a lot about the song. I can actually understand the words this time.
Ooh love that "Talking Hands" song...kind of has Talking Heads meets DEVO vibes. Hope we hear more from this band now that they've finally been "discovered" (and not by some A&R guy, by the whole freakin' internet.)
Finally hearing this tune in its entirety with a solid level of fidelity literally felt like experiencing a new color for the first time, there are few words… I cried hard dudes, we made it.
Как-будто я встретил друга из детства от которого были небольшие воспоминания. Но он были самые крутые и хорошие. И вот он снова появился,жив и здоров...🎉
The fact that a couple of songs from the same band came out after one song was found, and that band still being very much alive and still in contact with each other is astounding.
They are actually re-recording "Subways of Your Mind,' apparently. There's a reddit post about it with proof. It's actually insane how the internet brought the band back together.
I still can't believe that one of Internet's greatest mysteries has been finally solved. This EP has become one of my favourite albums, that I've heard so far. It's great to discover new bands and new albums that no one hasn't heard at all or in ages.
A song with no name and a lost band... it's like that 2000's urban legend of Halley's Rubik's 5 girls and their 80's song "Lollipop Girl", which everyone remembered in spanis from the radio but no one recorded. No one knew, either, what happened to the band after 2001. They became known when a radio announcer revealed that one of the girls was actually a boy forced to feminize "contractually" by losing a sheet music bet to the girls in the band. The song told that story and was a temporary hit in the 2000s. The tape and the band are lost and the identities of Rytha, Elody, Luna, Ermony and Bubblegum are unknown.
Cue a thousand people claiming to have been listening to this the whole time.... 😁 Hearing the whole song, it's even more impressive than the unnamed hook ever was. I like it.
Ok, i change my mind, this version of the song is the best and I'm really happy that all of this finally come to an end. I can't wait to hear more from them. Now we only need to find Imagination Lives and Light The Laterns and my life would be complete ✨🚀

There's a peace I never knew in my heart, if just for a fleeting moment. Thank you Internet.
All I can say is that…. This is what unity and power of the internet feels like x
my favourite thing about this is that all three of these songs sound completely different from each other and have their own distinct styles. this is just straight up good music all around.
I'm crying now. I really think that was impossible to find this song and now it's finally here
Talking Hands is a banger. 👌
HEY HEY, MY FRIEND... YOU GOT, THESE LONELY TALKING HANDS!
So good, loved all 3 songs!
While part of me loved the mystery and wishes it was never solved, I've listened to the EP four times in a row already and I'm so happy for FEX. These guys absolutely rock and deserve every bit of recognition they have coming to them.
In the end, the song really was that slow, and the singer really was that deep.
This just goes to show that there is so much undiscovered music out there people don’t know about or forgot about… which is why it’s important to scour the aisles of your thrift store for extra goodies.
Or scour the depths of the Web for stuff with no views, I've legitimately found bangers with 0 views
@@DMack6464Any you care to share? Obscure music is so awesome
We not only won, we won so hard. Original recording, all band members alive and giving an interview, and multiple new songs. I was never expecting all that.
This whole thing is such an interesting story, with a satisfying conclusion. Thank you for the upload. Reminds me of when I recorded a song broadcast from 91.7 Drexel University radio in 1991-2; the band was called Crashblack, and the song "Rhythms" (although I didn't know the title at the time). I lost the cassette tape, but I did remember the band name and searched record stores all over the US for years, and again online in the earlier days of YT, then gave up my search. I'm happy to say the record has been uploaded on YT about ~10 years ago, the whole album is a Darkwave banger. From that one song teenage me needed to hear the whole album, worth the wait.
The best part is the band is actually pretty good across the three songs. What a great day for the lost media community!
This closes a mystery, but opens a second one, this Subways In Your Mind got more synths and the bass line sounds a little bit more loaded, so the version we knew all this time is maybe a demo or an earlier version....
Honestly it sounds more complete, maybe it’s a final version and the radio aired a demo tape.
@@N0ah_Games I think some people had assumed the one we had before was a demo anyway.
Either it's a demo or it was just that degraded
There's three versions to this date: the one that was aired on the radio, a live concert that was uploaded on Reddit tonight, and this studio version. Probably they sent the demo to the radio first and then recorded this one later on
@@TristanLackey nah this has more stuff in it...ending and whatnot
I'm a casual follower of TMS. Just by chance today, I decided i wanted to listen to the TMS clip tonight while I work in my hotel room. What a surprise to find that earlier today the source actually came out! Pretty damn cool!!!
Now I'm distracted by listending to this and reading the subreddit, so I'm not getting any work done.
Okay... this tape has to be one of the best finds in lostwave history, if not lost media as a whole!
Not only does it find a complete version of the song, the name of it, and the name of the band that made it, but it also throws two other FEX songs in there for good measure. This is truly impressive.

I love Subways of Your Mind but I'm OBSESSED with Heart In Danger! Reminds me so much like Julian Copeland. FEX FECKIN ROCKS! I can't believe after all these years we now have 4 FEX songs (Subways of your Mind, Heart in Danger, Talking Hands and from the Zeus comp, Jenny) and 3 separate versions of Subways (original, this one, and the live version) and it's all amazing! Between FEX and Who's Who (Ulterior Motives), I'm convinced the time rift has opened.
yes, i believe that we have jumped to the good timeline. welcome and congrats
I like how at 3:41 the high pitch of the synthesizer sound like the high pitched squealing brakes on a subway train, neat detail whether it was intentional or not
Subways of Your Mind is an absolute banger of course. Coupled that with the other two songs makes me think this band could have been as big as Duran Duran or Depeche Mode
It's incredible that through the tireless efforts of internet sleuths we went from a low quality 1 minute clip to a full demo tape.
Цей ранок кращий за різдвяний!
Цікаво, на цьому етапі Lostwave помре, чи є ще пісні, які треба знайти?
@@dmytrorekechynsky Ну як мінімум в укр. лоствейві є ще загублений перший альбом Скрябін - Чуєш біль 😉
Звісно ні. По суті, лоствейв це усілякі демо чи малі альбоми старих груп які не вистрелили у свій час, а їх автори просто не існують в мережі інтернет або просто повмирали, а нам то всьо шукати))
@@dmytrorekechynsky звісно, є що шукати! Українське лостмедіа/лоствейв ком'юніті також шукає виконавця пісні "Гей, козаче, не сумуй, не плач ти". Ще є відео на ютуб від Літописця Олеся про лоствейв (як український, так і закордонний) і дві частини айсбергу українського лостмедіа - раджу до перегляду.
Thanks for dropping the entire EP!
People are insanely good at finding lost media this year!
Looks like I'll be adding this to my playlist until the band finally re-records this and puts it into streaming platforms!🔥
Everyone's been on such a roll this year!
The reward of searching for lostwave is that you may find more gems than expected and these 2 extra tracks are impressive. "Subways of Your Mind" may very deservedly be this years' xmas number 1 but "Talking Hands" will be a standout track on the hugely anticipated 2025 album! 😎🎹
The search is over 🎧❤️🎵
But for me it will always be "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" 👌
Agreed
It's not that any longer.
💀💀💀💀☠☠💀💀💀💀☠☠💀💀💀💀☠☠
I'm not gonna lie, The other songs on this EP are really damn good. I understand why people wanted to find this band so much, They have really good music.
This is truly one of the BEST finds of the entire year- Actually probably the BEST find of this entire decade
Honestly listening through this EP/demo tape, I can really appreciate the musical talent of the band members. Their ability to blend some pretty unique melodies together (especially in Talking Hands) in a way that is pleasant on the ears is probably better than some mainstream acts of the time.
The moral of the story:
“Hard work pays off.”
You can tell that it's exactly the same guy, yet he sounds nothing like the guy from Statues in Motion in this version. The degradation of the media really did change a lot about the song. I can actually understand the words this time.
Ooh love that "Talking Hands" song...kind of has Talking Heads meets DEVO vibes. Hope we hear more from this band now that they've finally been "discovered" (and not by some A&R guy, by the whole freakin' internet.)
HAPPINESS IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
11:22 that synth solo.. just my favorite part of this legendary tape
Finally hearing this tune in its entirety with a solid level of fidelity literally felt like experiencing a new color for the first time, there are few words…
I cried hard dudes, we made it.
All the songs are very good, they should release as it is, physically and digitally.
Gosh I Love the new version even more! PLUS THE TWO NEW AMAZING SONGS! AH! THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Wonderful job finding it people! I was here!
I can't believe these songs were lost for so long... THESE ARE ABSOLUTE BANGERS!
So, as it turns out, all 3 songs are real bangers. Unironically enjoying their sound a lot.
What a year for the Lost Media community! They found not only 1 but 3 absolute masterpieces!!
I'm really glad Subways of your Mind isn't their only good song, they had real talent.
Together, we rescued art from obscurity. Sometimes, there is a chance for talent to shine out and be cherished. It just may take a lifetime.
These songs are so damn catchy. All of these are prime earworm material. Man, I wish this was a full album, but I'm happy for what we have
the prechorus + chorus of Talking Hands are insanely catchy, holy fuck
Ooh, "Talking Hands" is EXCELLENT
Am I the only one thinking this Song made it back in the 80s for an amazing Video?! Can not be. FEX ROCKS!!!!
They didn't miss. All these songs are unique and fun.
Как-будто я встретил друга из детства от которого были небольшие воспоминания. Но он были самые крутые и хорошие. И вот он снова появился,жив и здоров...🎉
The fact that a couple of songs from the same band came out after one song was found, and that band still being very much alive and still in contact with each other is astounding.
This song slaps so hard, I am glad the internet found this gem.
Wonder what was FEX's reaction to this, they might be going, what, people still like 80s music today?
They're happy about it, apparently.
They are actually re-recording "Subways of Your Mind,' apparently. There's a reddit post about it with proof. It's actually insane how the internet brought the band back together.
Sounds like another success story. Nice
Sounds like another success story. Nice
Sounds like another success story. Nice
The vocal style and melodies are very reminiscent of Echo & The Bunnymen... Amazing songs! I like it!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
holy SHIT these other 2 are absolute bangers
subways brings you in, the other two keep you
The fact we get 2 more bangers that no one even knew about is awesome feels like a reward, now we just got to find where Jimmy Hoffa was buried
I can't believe Like The Wind was actually found after so long, 2024 is truly the Year of Lostwave :'D
It's interesting that almost nobody has probably heard the other two songs since the 80s until now.
I still can't believe that one of Internet's greatest mysteries has been finally solved. This EP has become one of my favourite albums, that I've heard so far. It's great to discover new bands and new albums that no one hasn't heard at all or in ages.
They were very talented, how did the world not know them?
A song with no name and a lost band... it's like that 2000's urban legend of Halley's Rubik's 5 girls and their 80's song "Lollipop Girl", which everyone remembered in spanis from the radio but no one recorded. No one knew, either, what happened to the band after 2001. They became known when a radio announcer revealed that one of the girls was actually a boy forced to feminize "contractually" by losing a sheet music bet to the girls in the band. The song told that story and was a temporary hit in the 2000s. The tape and the band are lost and the identities of Rytha, Elody, Luna, Ermony and Bubblegum are unknown.
Cue a thousand people claiming to have been listening to this the whole time.... 😁
Hearing the whole song, it's even more impressive than the unnamed hook ever was. I like it.
Love the drums 🥁
Ok, i change my mind, this version of the song is the best and I'm really happy that all of this finally come to an end. I can't wait to hear more from them. Now we only need to find Imagination Lives and Light The Laterns and my life would be complete ✨🚀
When I saw there's a track titled "Talking Hands" my mind instantly went to the Talking Heads.
Me too
So now we have Talking Heads and Talking Hands. What we miss?
@@Sobel_Robel talking feet
And it sounds like a talking heads song
The riff sounds like the live version of Crosseyed And Painless
