80’s new wave? Old-timey and homemade instruments? Vaguely creepy dudes in tuxedoes and masks? Yes please!
I love this so much.

The video was excellent. New Order were definitely one of my favorite game-changers of that era. I’d love to see one of their other hits of that time CONFUSION given the same homemade instruments ‘n masks treatment.

Not sure if you’re a video game kinda guy like I am (or more correctly, like I used to be — who has the time anymore) but Bioshock Infinite has a really excellent soundtrack composed of a lot of music from the 80s, given that old-timey polish. Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,”, REM’s “Shiny Happy People,” and Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” are just a few of the absolute gems there. You can find those here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAA_zE5a3JQ&list=PLRj6F86aEpZQIGj6_1A1rkMDuNm5ulEDg&index=3

Thanks Matt. That is definitely service with a smile and very kind of you. Tears For Fears SHOUT: now that was a song! I can picture myself really longing for these old timey tunes when I’m about..oh.. 90! in the meantime I’ll savor them as a different take on classic anthems of my youth.
Once more, ngiyabonga (that’s Zulu for thank you).

[…] Orkestra Obsolete. I did something here that I rarely do, which was to re-post a video that I saw and thought was awesome with very little commentary. Somehow, searches for that band ended up directing some visitors here, and still do occasionally. Still a great video. […]
