I was in Japan when this bit came out. The Japanese had game rooms with 100s of different computer games and I spent a lot of time playing them. It was almost magic. This song takes me back to Japan. I love it.
Saw them playing as a warm up band to Cheap Trick back in the late 70s... And they had everyone jumping on their seats at Festival Hall, Melbourne... Years later I heard this tune in South America where it had become a number one hit.. Great memories.. thanks...
One of the first video songs I recorded on my Betamax from HBO's Video Jukebox! I always have loved it, pity it never made an impression on the US public.
seriously love this song. i love that a lot of my favorite current bands are taking a lot from the new wave era... because the main riff in this is fucking KILLER
My brother bought the album Space Race when I was 10 and he gave it to me - this is the first time I've heard it for about 20 years and I'm so glad to find it here - thanks for uploading it.
I was 14 when I heard and bought this song. I listened to it a lot and listening to it now, I still remember every little sound that fascinated me so much at the time.
Love this song and the band! I Was a bit too young when they were popular to appreciate how good they were, just bought their greatest hits at JB Hi-FI and love it!
@mufloos haha you sound like a very angry person? what is your problem? Are you out of ice maybe? anyhow the cd only cost $7.99 FYI, cheers and chill a little mate.
g,day i am not sure if anyone has any information about steve gilpin's family where abouts, I would like to get in contact with them. I am steve's son born in 1987 in melbourne. I am not after anything besides just a bit more personal background about my father. if any information that can help please comment back thank you.
The lead singer. He was killed in a car crash just outside a little village called Mullumbimby. He was coming back from the Gold Coast when his van turned over kiiling him instantly. Think he was in a new band called Catch-22
@emgee65 .....I Was a Computer Technician and WATCHED THIS VIDEO BEING MADE, it was shot at the CBC bank and control data buildings in Crows Nest, NSW Australia, and the footage of the digital tape drives and disk drives was actually shot around 1977, cause I left the company late ´77.and yes, those computers now fit inside a Laptop!!! Lol
@elkangurito2 thank you so much for that additional piece of information. It's much appreciated. Why were the digital tape drives and disk drives shot in 1977 and not 1979, when the rest of the clip was made?
@nzoz1979 Welll, I canb assure you I watched them in the computer room from above,before I left Honeywel computers in 1977.Perhaps someone can enlighten us as to wether they may have made 2 clips???
@elkangurito2 i doubt they made two clips, but I can say for sure that this video was shot in the year that it was a hit (1979)... you mentioned the digital tape drives being shot in 1977. Anyway, the band were only just beginning in 1977 and weren't even called Mi-Sex back then. I dunno how you got to see a 1979 clip being made in 1977...
I was a DJ at Oscars Nite Club back in the 90's when Steve Gilpin Played there with his band at the time , Under rapz.. I was lucky enough to sit in on a few songs on the drums with him. Only acouple of weeks later he was in a car crash, went into a coma and subsequently died not long after. A great, down to earth guy and a real honour to meet one of my 80's hero's. A True Blue Bloke! R.I.P. my friend... you will always live on!
I know that electronic organ sound was quite popular at the time, but the hooky chorus part reminded me of something, and it's been driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is.
I've just realised - and there's actually very little similarity - it's the theme tune for Live And Let Die.
You people can blah blah about the past. I really love this song, but you have heard nothing until you have heard "pigsteerer" ," the reckoning " ," batteries not included" and 1 million others!!!! Stop living in a cave man and explore........
take a chill pill mate......obviously, you think you know it all. why is it such a crime for people to talk about their great memories of music they grew up with? relax, and take a deep breath
my childhood memories where interesting to say the least....my mum was a taxi driver from the eastern suburbs..(the only female taxi driver at that time)...she used to take me on lil runs round the city at night...and many times we "picked" up these fella's and took them to many of there gigs...Gr8 memories of a lifestyle thats long since gone!!.....Rok on fella's..
Would love to get hold of scanned lyric sheets (or equivalent) for Space Race and Graffiti Crimes - the CD covers are devoid of content and the Internet lyrics sites only have a handful of tracks. Please contact me if you can share them.
pretty amazing they got access to that gear in 79, that printer they were playin with would have cost 10's if not 100's of thousands back then.
those big washing machines that appear @ 3:19 are actually disk drives!, the ones i use to work on were 20MB each (changed via the big clear dome on top, which was hernia material).
Kraftwerk and Mi Sex were like Hip Hop in the late 70's. The first song I heard closest to Hip Hop in the mid 1970's was Dynomite by Bazuka in July 1975.
I can only imagine how crappy computer games were in 1979 compared to now. I wasn't even born until 1985, yet games were different enough when I was a kid to when they are now. I don't even think this is that far after games were invented.
First music concert ever - Nicki Hodgson and I aged 13, QE2 in Tauranga with a crazy stoned man kissing the back of our hands... Gary MCormick opened. Awesome concert but we stank of smoke, Ruth got upset - Shame.....

I like to lol when I hear young kids talking about the 70s like some far off distant time in the past, where society was vastly different. I admit, when I was younger, I used to think of the "modern era" having started in the 80s. Loflropter.
Its really no different to the three decades that succceded it.
As a serious Steve Gilpin fan. Steve sadly died from a car accient on January the 6th 1992. I saw Mi-Sex countless times. Most times I was right up front in front of Steve. He often gave me a wink or nice hello. He could see I was a hgue fan and new most of the words. The sundowner in sydney one night the drumming went missing. So John Swan from Swanee had to fill in. OMG such a crack up seeing he didnt know their songs. What a complete stuff up with the start of IT ONLY HURTS WHEN L
Very catchy still! This song annoys one of my best friends who has worked 28 years in a job requiring loads of patience; but I don't think anyone does themselves full justice just by being completely straight all the time. If not for this I'd never know of Mi Sex's work; and would be all the poorer creatively.
Wow this brings back memories, I was the CBS rep at the time in the South Island and would hang out with these guys when they came to town. Also with Jon Stevens and Citizen Band. Great memories thanks for putting this on.
Check out the control data computers..yr ipod has more storage and power than that room full of tape / disk drives and servers!! Great song and video..
Night driver was the simpler version, there were no cars just the poles on the sides and the white broken line in the middle. Used to be my fav, Id play it everytime I go down after school with my mates at this place called Jack's in the 'gong. Ah the memories!
Lol ,theres probably a VERY good reason why they won't let that footage out of the tins again! Jon Stevens from Noiseworks was exactly the same, doing awful covers, god the memories, I remember them on RTR and TGM with Andy and Bruno Lawrence on drums. Oh for a VCR in those days!
I've only seen late-70's Jon Stevens trying to be something of a street-wise teenage Springsteen type. Quite horrible to think Countdown was trying to push him onto the Aussie public... good thing he got his break in Noiseworks. I guess they all had to start somewhere.
This was distributed on the EPIC label in the U.S. and the I'm fairly certainly that the video was among the first shown on MTV. A favorite in rock clubs and the few radio stations that played New Wave in NYC in 1979, it recalls some very precious memories,
@nzoz1979 I'm sorry if I miss led you.. We are no relation. I thought that maybe friends I had in common with Steve may see this and make contact.. I subscribe to your stuff on you-tube and you do the Nz-OZ music fans a great service . Thanks mate
@nzoz1979@nzoz1979 I know that Dave Taylor has confirmed that he wasn't related to Rob but I want to say thank you for sending condolences - I'm Rob's daughter.

@seaeagles64 so sorry to hear that....I saw this awesome group LIVE AT THE 1979 SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE CONCERT OF THE DECADE...My 1st concert at 19 yrs ...I'm 50 now....RIP
@patdamien Hey, where has the idea of this Robert Taylor come from? Robert Taylor was never in Mi-Sex... Murray Burns is the keyboard player and the only keyboard player to have ever played in the band. Find anywhere on the net that Robert Taylor was ever in the band...!
They were always regarded as phonies and no one really took them seriously back then. The singer was an aging hippy but hey we all have to make a living. Nice nostalgia though. And love the spooky far out camera work!!
i remember seeing this on night flight in the us in 79-80 , great song , took many years to find it. since us americans back then didnt have a great way of getting cool stuff untill mtv. later
Great song...I remember hearing it in the US. Knowing the videogames playing in the background is killing me. Since it's 1979 I seem to remember the basketball game being this game we used to play in the arcade with 2 giant roller controllers. Not sure of the driving game & the Space Game looks super familiar. My friend & I are thinking it can't be Star Wars because it's too early for it to be the exact arcade game. Looks way familiar though. Thanks for posting!
played by KIWI's - of course - steve gilpin was my mates, sisters boyfriend when he was a cabaret singer - took a bang on the head and reemerged as Mi Sex - saw them bondi astra with Dragon & Split Enz 79
It got played on US programs such as Video Concert Hall and Rockamerica. I do not know, for a fact, if this video ever got played on MTV.... however, some of their other early 80's videos did get play on MTV
oh...wow...this was released the year i was born - still sounds fresh to me! 2 years in the uk has not cured me of being an aussie - and it never will! bring it on!!!
Thanks a million for posting this! Amazing

This was distributed on the EPIC label in the U.S. and the I'm fairly certainly that the video was among the first shown on MTV. A favorite in rock clubs and the few radio stations that played New Wave in NYC in 1979, it recalls some very precious memories,

@patdamien Hey, where has the idea of this Robert Taylor come from? Robert Taylor was never in Mi-Sex... Murray Burns is the keyboard player and the only keyboard player to have ever played in the band. Find anywhere on the net that Robert Taylor was ever in the band...!

They were always regarded as phonies and no one really took them seriously back then. The singer was an aging hippy but hey we all have to make a living. Nice nostalgia though. And love the spooky far out camera work!!

Great song...I remember hearing it in the US. Knowing the videogames playing in the background is killing me. Since it's 1979 I seem to remember the basketball game being this game we used to play in the arcade with 2 giant roller controllers. Not sure of the driving game & the Space Game looks super familiar. My friend & I are thinking it can't be Star Wars because it's too early for it to be the exact arcade game. Looks way familiar though. Thanks for posting!

@yoriwarner - the game's called "StarFire" by Exidy. It came out a year or 2 after star wars. It gave me wood as an 8 yr old...

It got played on US programs such as Video Concert Hall and Rockamerica. I do not know, for a fact, if this video ever got played on MTV.... however, some of their other early 80's videos did get play on MTV
