I have been looking for a song from my childhood for over fifteen years. It was on the TV a lot around the same time Max Headroom had his music video show , I think that's where I saw it
It's an instramental, and that's what makes it hard to explain - I will try and explain the film clip.
What I remember is like a warehouse with all this bio-mech machinery moving in time to the beat of the music - very robotic looking.
just a lot of shiny steel machines with pistons and cables moving in time.
The song goes quiet in the middle and some kids sneak into the warehouse and hide in a big basket - the warehouse shuts down, and all the lights go off - when everyone has left, all the kids bust out of the basket and turn everything back on - the machines start up and so does the beat of the music just as before.
Here is the description of the music - it's quite technical, but it's the only way I can expain it without lyrics:
The whole song is based around a 'pulsing' male voice put though a vocoder, with a sample of another voice doing the melody over the top - in the bridge section, the pulsing male voice stops and it's just a quiet synth sound, without a beat and you hear a sound of kids calling out from a distance - then eveything starts up again in the same beat and tune as it was before right though to the end of the song.
I don't think I've dreamed all this up because the tune is so clear in my head, I think it has written itself into my aural DNA
some of the description may be wrong though - it has been while after all
I sure hope someone can help me - I will be very gratefull http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif someone told me it could be Jean Michael Jarre but had no idea of he title!!?!!
