Quoted from NeilT

Oh.. Long live the muppet show  

Hear, hear!!  

Julia's Song




Kissing the machine




ABC

You just know which one I watched first don't you? Yep... Locomotion! Genius! I have tears of laughter streaming down my face, but it's so well done as well as being funny! I love the way the puppets let their hair down in the instrumental break!  

Great find!

Kissing is intresting, and ABC123 well done with the video clips...

ABC Auto Industry is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab dahling!!!!

Dazzle Ships (yep! someone has actually made a vid for this track)

Radio Prague  (yes its true)

The imagery on this one is brilliant .. just spoilt by the moving mouth à la Monty Python on the spoken bit. Pity.

Quoted from Mark secret_message

O M D ::: Souvenir (Moby Remix)

This is class mark..... Ive had it for 3/4 years.  

Nice finds Nigel.. How amazing are these.. not sure what to say, all a class in there own..

Don't know if this one's been featured yet but thought it was quite well done




..apparently a 'rare' video perf too . .was it the Xmas TOTP 1981? (NB audience with "funny" hats   )

I'm hooked! I never wanted to try YouTube because I thought it was mainly for kids. After watching the OMD vids, thats it, I could sit there for hours watching videos. What an incredible invention! When all these cool videos first came out, I never was able to watch them, we couldn't afford cable tv. Now I can see all I've missed, even concert footage, wow, its a great thing!
"Never Turn Away"...(had it on Junk Culture, which has snapped, must replace as soon as possible!) what an amazing song, brought tears to my eyes, because, musically it's just beautiful.  

Debbie the extended version of 'Never Turn away' is much better than the original album version. If you can't find that on YouTube then try the media section on the main site

And just to promote my video further  

The Romance of the Telescope

Very good.... is it your 1st attempt then??? Just asking cos I dont think youve posted any before

Brillaint mark.... think Ive got that on youtube

Thank you Ellen !
Yep! My first ever video, and no matter what anyone else thinks, I am chuffed to bits with the outcome.  

Thanks for the info Corky, I have to try that. That was always a 'forgotten' song of mine. I never knew the name, (who reads those tiny words on cassette tapes?), but when it came on, I absolutely loved it. It gives me goose bumps and makes me tingly. Almost better than you know what....

Than what???  

Im even starting to like some I didnt really like before.... must be all that time on youtube  

New video on YouTube Of all the things we've made  

Very  nice! I'll have to play it with sound later, but I watched on my 'silent' computer and it looks great!
Absolutely love the mix of photos, how they changed thru the years, especially "someones" hairdo....

Quoted from Mark secret_message

New video on YouTube Of all the things we've made  

Did you do this Mark, or just one that you "stumbled on!"???

No its not mine,just a quick search on YouTube

Oh! Good find though!!!  

Love that Mark thanks.... have you seen this OMD megamix... from djliberator31??? Totally class  

This has been in the offish site for a while, it's Paul Wirrals' creation... that's one of the main reasons I go over there, he is extremely talented with his YouTube stuff!

I knew that... but I didnt know if hed want it stated publicly Lol.  

I subscribe to his videos.... youre right... theyre all class  

Well it's too bad if he doesn't now innit??

I thought I would add these video's here too (and any others I produce in the future.   )

APOLLO XI re-edited version

It's back ... 'grab it' while you can..they took it down last time:

Another new video from Djliberator AKA Paulwirral

Thanks Nige.... hadnt seen that yet  

yeah totally geeky . .bu it was that kind of time .. I cringe more at 'Locomotion' actually

don't like that 'nature' Navigation one .. I had a completely different 'image' of the song ..

Quoted from nigel2568

Another new video from Djliberator AKA Paulwirral

Saw that last week on the Offish site... he's very good with these, and I think it's fabulous (I love "nature" anyway!)  

The Old gey Whistle Test clip is available on the main M&H web site.... It is also in its full glory on DVD  

I have this DVD too

Quoted from NeilT

'scuse my ignorance..

Nah, its nice to see people making the effort Mark, and besides  theres so much in the media section now its easy to duplicate!

Quoted from corky100

OK!  BTW took me ages to find it on the M&H media site ..it's all a bit 'cluttered' .. and the quality not so good either. Thought there'd have Messages from the same show / performance too but it ain't there....as far as I can see.

Quoted Text

I know what you mean   The problem is, that I started all of these video clips before Youtube got going etc... There are some old VHS tapes (3 Hours of OMD) that I have put on-line, I think from memory I have put four of them up so thats over 12 hours of clips.... Then all of the new additions, I would say if someone watched every clip from start to finish I have (so far) got around 20 hours of video alone   And in file sizes, that is gigs and gigs...

You've set him off again now, Mark......

One Day, I'll take you up on the offer and come to give your box a good rummage, Neil. Then you'll be sorry....

Quoted Text

Neil. Then you'll be sorry

if you see the amount of stuff in my attic  

I wonder if someone can help me out here. Was just on YouTube, and saw a "Messages" video, and it had Andy playing bass. On the other "Messages" video, the one I usually watch, it has Paul on bass. Which one is correct?

I have to admit, I don't remember seeing Paul playing Bass. But I've Just found the video you were on about, and that is the official video for the song with Paul on Bass.

Thats what I thought. It shows his fingers, and it looks real. And you're right, never seen him on bass.

Its a bit like seeing Andy on keys.. it does happen at live concerts

And Dave Hughes on the Keyboards?

.....sooooo, it's Paul then?  

Here is my latest offering. Unfortunately I cannot get exactly what I was after, but this is close. My interpretation of NAVIGATION

Oooohhh, Nigel!!! It looks brilliant!
I think, you have catched the right rhythm and balance among colours.


Your video makes my Kurland viking heart beat faster.

Great job, Nigel! Beautiful video, it fits very well. You do lovely work.  

Nice work Mark...

It was me actually Neil !

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Nigel.. I meant you... opppps   But nice work to Nigel  

He does do nice work, doesn't he?   Very nicely put together. Nigel seems to know what he's doing.  

So, I was flipping thru the OMD vids, my new favorite is Call My Name. Great song, great vocals by Andy of course, very sensual. But I was a little confused regarding the keyboardist...seems to look a little tan. Who is this guy and wheres Martin? Was he present on the whole album?

OK, oops, my bad. I did some checking around, and wasn't Andy the only original member at the time? Wow, my eyes are fuzzy.
I was looking at mostly the live concert footage on Youtube, and I must say Andy sure does have some energy. Man, I get tired just watching him!

I was wondering, though.... ...they never made a video for "Love and Violence"? What a powerful, wondeful song. How could that not have been a single??  

Quoted Text

"Love and Violence"?

never a single, so never a video.. But a song that many fans do not like... But a song of its times.. and listen to the song words...
From Sugar Tax, OMD was Andy.. and his new line up...

Quoted from NeilT

.. But a song that many fans do not like....

Really? That was always a huge favorite of mine, til this day, those opening notes jolt you into listening...like a slap in the face. It's so full of sounds, loud sounds, and very full musically. On top of that is Andys superb voice, which is just powerful stuff. He's one of the rare few that can sing/scream effectively. A lot of people just scream, some can barely sing. But this guy rips out his heart in many songs, this one especially. Seriously does make my heart skip a beat. Yeah, the words are strong. Its a strong song, a great song!  

       

sorry, Neil...I'll go stand in the corner now.  
(I really shouldn't post when I'm exhausted!  ops)

For once a wink  

INTERNATIONAL on YouTube

Thanks Mark, I love that track, should've been a single IMO.

Thanks Mark, I love that track, should've been a single IMO.

I love that track, especially played very loud. Should've been a single IMO.

The Black Sea on Youtube.   This was not one of mine, but by LenapeFireTurtle.

I love The Black Sea... But not sure that the titanic came to midn with the images I have.. strange...

Aviator....just a wild guess here...but do you love that track???    My ESP is working really good today!  

Quoted Text

Aviator....just a wild guess here...but do you love that track???

was that to Aviator or me?

I know I'm old, but I'm not senile!  
No Neil, just referring to the 3 posts of his that mentioned the song.  

Just found this on Youtube, I don't think it's been posted here yet. It is The Beginning and the End mixed with a up tempo beat. I usually hate this sort of thing being done to a great song, but this actually works and sounds good.

BTW, there is no video to watch, just  a song to hear.

......and a Gregorian version of Maid of Orleans

Radio Waves  anyone ?

Never Turn Away 12" (extended Version) for those that have never heard this version.

Stanlow (remix)  The remix isn't great, but you still get the feel of the song.

New Head  the caption for the video reads - Some of my metal art work done in precious, semi-precious metals(sterling silver, shibuichi,shakudo...), and steel along with some music by OMD. New Head from the Universal CD

The Maid Of Orleans one is quite good - in a strange kind of way.

Quoted from nigel2568

Here is my latest offering. Unfortunately I cannot get exactly what I was after, but this is close. My interpretation of NAVIGATION

I don't know what you were after, but that was great!  

Thanks for posting these up, Nigel.
.....Never Turn Away, so beautiful, now even more so, very magical and enchanting song.

I have just searched through all available videos to try and make a "Visual Dazzle Ships DVD"  Sadly there are 3 tracks without any video's made for them yet. They are...This is Helena, International and Silent Running.

Might have a go at making a video for 1 or 2 of these, and by the end of the year have my own video album  


I do want to make a time-lapse video of Stanlow, but it's too bloomin' cold to stay out all night at the moment Brrrrrrrr

Judging from your previous attempts, I'm certain anything you do will come out "just right", you seem to have the knack for this.

Electricity reaches Columbia. A Columbian Goth band sing Electricity (and don't do a bad job of it really (even if they do mix the lyrics up.)

Lyrics aside that was well played

Souvenir - Brothers in Rhythm Remix (not great sound)

Stand Above Me (1994) - From poor quality video, but fun to watch anyway.  

OMD Live in Paris 1979. intro Statues, Bunker Soldiers.
This sounds like it was recorded off French Radio. I like the "Statues" sample, but it doesn't really sound like Andy and Paul singing Bunker Soldiers (though it was very early in their career before their voices had matured) But still a very good recording anyway.
Some great photo's on the video.

2 more new video's that I put together this week. "Crush" and "The Messerschmitt Twins"
