[lavinia1972q]

Bella canzone.

[adilsondealencar]

sigue sigue é massimo!!!

[mediattackrecords]

[pakitovillanueva]

magnificent boys

[thezsolti1969]

nagyon király visszahozza a gyerek koromat

[goonluv]

They were well ahead of there time back then totally brilliant

[finmarc]

this was the last interesting "thing" in the music biz...

@totenkray: I totally agree

[thewelly1973]

has anyone got the original single version of this without the sound affects., The covers on here are shite

[Joelhormes2]

the remind me of x japan

[NathanPaulPrince]

i rocked my mohawk in the late 80s to this

[vinka2012]

es increible k esta cancion es del año 87 y en el video aparecen celulares, dvd, mp3 y el robot k hace todo presentado hace pocos años...is amazing..and visionaries???

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

The future is like the negative version of the 80s tasteless and boring

[totenkray]

I was under the impression back in 1986 that the future would be a cross between Blade Runner and a Sigue Sigue Sputnik video....man the future is a let down.

[Vampiregothmother]

@totenkray I Know what you mean, the 21st century, is major let down!!

[MrUnidyne]

@Vampiregothmother "The future ain't what it used to be." - Yogi Berra

[eariamjh71]

@totenkray

I feel your pain bro.

[NathanPaulPrince]

i did you

[NathanPaulPrince]

stereo video  sci fi sex let's go

[NathanPaulPrince]

sexy costumes

[kuffuur]

born 1971..heard this song...made me......what i am...period

[mediattackrecords]

punk primitives arent really a racist threat unless theyre full blown ANARCHISTS.

[robo1v]

yes they were crap also lol

[robo1v]

this was the 80'sok



[MariaFabiani]

fat, pornography and bore

i'm a 21th century whoopee boy

[asiq1987]

the 2000's suck ass iwann live in the 70's and 80's

[Codex7777]

@LoveShock2 "less creative punch' ROFL. They were a no-talent manufactured band who were all about the hype. Unfortunately for them and their record company nobody bought it (or their records)... I find it hilarious that people are 'rediscovering' this crap and thinking it's classy. It's the exact opposite, I'm afraid.

[SuperMagpie09]

Billy Idol, Pistols, Clash, Then this shit and so we begin the journey till today. Drugs music (same - need drugs to get it). What the hell happened we all went simple and listened to simple. Now even worse the streets are full of simple and hate. What does someone do when they are corned like a simpleton, they lash out. Hence today we are fucked the minority of kids have no chance therefore nor do we.

[obelisksound]

love the MSX hat.

[electreclectico]

this band is SOO BOOORING

[NathanPaulPrince]

I am a Porn Star Drop Out!

[erghtrfgh]

they are like sailors heading towards the future.

[idolsandancors]

I was born in the 90's but I wish I was born in the 80's.. Great music, it inspires me!

[salleism]

@idolsandancors i was born 76 i promise that was a glory days in the  cold war was running

[333Chrome]

great video... at the time it was better then DuranDuran,

nobody should feel bad about Japan. they are a great poeple and will survive.

[NathanPaulPrince]

rip my wig off and playa air guitar ;)

[arthurteagarden]

Let's GoGo! Soooo ahead of their time. Or behind the times fuggit I love it! Network 21!

[barrysteenmans]

MASTERS OF SOUNDMAKING!!!!! GREAT

[barrydeez]

the future is near.

[gnartwoDtwo]

@milano1919 so sad, so true.

[gerryvisco]

Love it! If you think you're cool, watch this video. Too cool for school and I ain't kiddin'!

[BrandNewMachine]

[naoshikato]

TONY JAMES is good friend of ANDI SEX GANG

watch "ANDI SEX GANG KAMIKAZE BEAUTY " please

[Cyberzinho]

Amazing!!!!!!!



[megaladon73]

I remember seeing this back in 86/87 as a 13 yr old kid, and I was convinced that by the year 2000, everyone was gonna be walking around looking like these guys..

[inefekt69]

@megaladon73

instead kids are all walking around looking like Justin Bieber lol

sad..........

[NathanPaulPrince]

you have sci-fi sex - it`s called google 

[ashetonpop]

70s were better than the 80s.

[n0wave]

1:26 Hey it looks like Yana Yaya is rockin an early iPod prototype! SSS really was way ahead of their time.

[jimyjag]

would be great with 21'st century sound quality, th3y were working with tapes and basic synths,gotta love em though...

[DJkevvykev]

mmm mmm - I love technology

About time Neal X was re-assessed as a guitarist.

King awesome.

Saw him at Camp Bestival playing with Marc Almond. Brilliant !

[PatrickB09]

Tony James = Fucking Brilliant.

[janneyy69]

so little cellphone!

[chico3076]

i love the telephon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[mysteryn11]

Just stunning, but can you fathom how we are now re-hashing the 80s dream of the 21st century as a style amongst the brightly coloured teens of Europe. Retro-futurist? Wtf?

[Jimkaider]

Fuck, they're like if Poison got into a car accident with fucking Blade Runner.

[21stCenturyDub]

@Jimkaider lmao.. classic band though

[rom8830]

this is sooooo shit and i like the 80's

[333Chrome]

I like these funny shitbirds of the 80ties....and they laid the way

to electronic uber-domain to present music. i love technology....................­.

[NathanPaulPrince]

Sci-Fi sex exists - you can buy a box that fits on your thinger, plug it to your drive, click on a site and brrrrrrrmmmmmmmm

[winmill]

check out those awesome mobile phones!

these guys were revolutionary !

[MegaPam90]

went out with the drummer oh no.ray mayhew. scary

[Gloomshadow1]

@MegaPam90 why was he scary??

[salganidio]

E estes! granda malucos

[kaminarikai]

nice cellphones hahaha....seriously though, groundbreaking group "history will pro e them right"

[NathanPaulPrince]

The Godfathers of Techno! We rocked it like we owned it back then... and Ferris Beuler or whatever made this song a smash. I talked to the singer on the phone in 1998 when I wanted to do a remix - he was happy to let me do that - this band rocks! it was the soundtrack to my skateboarding years in Port Alberni. Hell ya - coffin skating ruled!

[brdiger]

meine helden!!!!

[69hunnybunny]

could b a better sounding bit low and muffly. but top tune of the 80s

[jules4456]

Weird thing...I won this album in a contest when I was 13. I know I wore it out but I can barely remember any of it. Probably a testiment of how bad this all is.

[sduddy]

@jules4456 are you insane this is class

[Maronatis]

I miss those days :(

[wendileona]

Cyberpunk was k00l.

[xakes]

parece que foi ontem.e pensar que naquela época queria ter 40 anos.............:( agora queria ter 16.

essa vida é uma soda já dizia fócrates.

[NuclearLullaby]

I like the anti Bush remix they did of this a few years ago

[hugosalema]

great video

congratulations

[lunasantori]

Kid:

just because you don't like them (neither does my father by the way...) that does not mean that did not have an impact on music and musicians at the time...it's kinda like Hitler, just because you don't like him that doesn't mean that he didn't have an impact on the world...understand now?

about the "1980"(')s...school is out on the weekend...

[Alimantado91]

You're right about impact. Without them there would have been no Pop Will Eat Itself, Age Of Chance or...er...Westworld.

They gave us all a good laugh for a few weeks in 1986 and for that we should be grateful.

[lunasantori]

people who weren't (at least) teenagers in 1980's will NEVER understand the impact that this band had at the time...I am only 12 but my father told me all about it.

[kidcalabria]

Did he tell you that they were a joke? No? Then ask him to tell you how to spell 1980s, without the apostrophe, that is...

[Agent1W]

@lunasantori I get the idea. This was heralding what I consider the Digital Age. In this video, we see cell phones, robots, computerized TV images, camcorders, and finally *GASP* the compact disc! It blows the minds of many since they have never seen things like this before, and SSS was there to show them!

[davidartpins]

eu estava lá somos velhos

[gameonline13]

I love this song....

[akastalin]

「じぐ　じぐ　すぱとにっく」　って　読むんだよね？

[raraelzinho]

Caramba....eu dou parabens para essa banda, pois o clip e muito futuristico coisa que na época aqui no Brasil não se pensava nesses detalhes....isso e os anos 80!

[claudiorollano]

They are tremendous !, i'm a fan from 80's.

Greetings from Chile and have a happy new year, SSS !

[sootysurfer]

What happened to the group?

They set out to make a million each... they succeeded and went on to do other things. How do i know? the drummer is a relative of mine.

[claudiorollano]

@sootysurfer What a lucky !

[martynwestone]

yeah, who are you baby ?

[willen555]

The drummer is a machine...

[sootysurfer]

Just a footnote to all the people mauling me saying the drummer is a machine.

'check the other vids and look for the drummer' cheeers

[qwerty1975punk]

isto é que é o verdadeiro cyberpunk.  "guerra das estrelas"

[mvilarica]

Sigue Sigue Sputnik, where are you?

long time no see!!

great times!

[swaron]

personalmente, para mi el grupo de rock mas revolucionario de la decada del 80, ¿por que digo eso?, pues por que fusionaron varios generos (rock and roll, punk, sith pop, algo de psicodelia) y asi sacaron muy buenos temas y estan vigentes Sigue Sigue Sputnik, aqui en Perú tienes dos de tus mas leales fanaticos, desde 1986.

[BryanUK666]

well sooo many bands are trying to emulate them. THe sad thing is that had SSS did this now it would be utterly revalationary and they really would have acheived the utter superstardom they deserved. Madchester scence wiped out loads of good burgeoning scences to be honest. not so good.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

laibacht?

[mouseyhousewife]

what's really weird is the fact that some japanese "tribes" still use this style of hair/clothes....

[goldensolder44]

the future from the 80's

[VJSco]

nice :)

[Molotovjack]

I feel the same now about SSS as I did in the 80's. I want to like it but it's basically crap. It was passe then and it's even more so now. They knew what they were doing with their punk, no-talent, obnoxious philosophy. Boring, badly produced, no direction and unimaginative. There was a lot of far better stuff out there during that time.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

like skinny puppy. and even depeche mode, yes i give them cred for their potential

[milano1919]

FRONT 242?

[milano1919]

it's impossible to see these videos and listen to this music now. there is no evolution. 80s were the best period for the electronic music

[pendodecahedron]

poor thing

[nukecat]

@milano1919 ill agree up to a point with ya there

[destined2sleep]

@milano1919 NO, 70'S HAD PINK FLOYD

[robyframbro]

@milano1919 quoto al 100%

[MegaRapture]

@milano1919 tell me bout it! its like creativity died circa 95, there is no creativity anymore in style/fashion/music/scene/ its all so bland/dull/insipid now. i laugh now when i hear dry peeps say how great how london is. its dead on its arse fullstop.

[JohnnyLovely2]

@milano1919 OMG TRUE!!!

[Frankie4Fingers100]

Tops, just great for the day!! just too nasty & rude to get on....oh ye & lets go back to the council flat....doh

[checo197912]

ps esta chido el video ojala y existan más bandas como ellos!!

[sussexpenguin]

@Viniciustlc , yes, I'm still waiting for the sci-fi sex. :)

[butheadVSbevus]

Will there ever be a band as good as sique sique sputnik?

[cisco9x]

Meshuggah

[butheadVSbevus]

Pretty good but no one could ever be as good as these guys.

[cisco9x]

When I first saw them on CH4 Tube in 86, they made a claim that they were the next big thing after the Sex Pistols before they even sold a single single.....I guess that's why they were laughed at and derided....having said that there have been many shit joker bands since then like Gorgoroth that made a few quid of some bandwaggon...

[pendodecahedron]

bagged them 3m from EMI though before they had released a single record....good work

[jaspersnowstormcdn]

a band way before there time, thanks for posting this

[Charlienmeg]

The revolving doors and lift parts were filmed at my old office building in Soho Square. There wasn't a lot of work done that day !

[Kroelf]

21st century doesn´t end until it´s ends... you won´t achieve it´s end... so be longanimous, dear

[visionofjohana]

Maybe if we lick our gadgets, it might be more fun using them! Yummy... a cd player!!!

[Viniciustlc]

Being a 21st Century boy is not so cool as it sound back then!! We are in almost 2010 and where's the sci-fi sex ???

[Lungomolto]

@Viniciustlc u don't know what u say: I'm 40 and being a boy in the 80's was a huge bore: no internet, no download, no you tube, pc were very very very slow u had to upload software from tapes! if u wanted a record (an LP o EP) you had to go back and forth from shops I'm in Turin Italy and had to go to Milan or buy by mail in Germany!!...ok no sci-fi sex but you can pick up chicks (or guys) in chats...

[Lungomolto]

@Viniciustlc ...and I forgot: girls wore ridicolous things such as very large sweaters with absurd colors (yellow, pink, red...) and large trousers no skinny jeans, no cleavage, no tits,no thongs coming out form jeans... the 80's were horrible....

[Viniciustlc]

@Lungomolto Wow girls had no tits? Maybe they only started to grow on the girls around the world after the end of soviet union!

[Lungomolto]

@Viniciustlc I meant that they wore ridicolous dresses and sweaters so large and oversized you couldn't imagine their shape...now girls are so sexy (at least in Europe I don't know where u from...)

[kiribula]

@Lungomolto No, not sexy, but dull. Just because girls show off more now doesn't make them sexier !

[kiribula]

@Lungomolto Man, you sound daft

[Lungomolto]

@kiribula DAFT PUNK? No Thanks I dig Peaches if we're about electro...

[bundybearridesagain]

@Viniciustlc sci fi sex um what is cyber sex? internet porn? cyber sex?

[Viniciustlc]

@bundybearridesagain This already existed in the 90's and it's not sex! It's just some idiots pretending that they're having sex, that's no difference between this and telephone sex, telegraph sex , fax sex or smoke sign sex! And what I mean with "sci fi sex" is something like that Orgasmatron in that Woody Allen movie!XD

[Ross43217]

@Viniciustlc you're not looking in the right places.

[losttribe]

@Viniciustlc they got one part Wrong!!

How can handphones portrayed in 21stt Century is still so Chunky??!!

[goldensolder44]

@Viniciustlc YES!! instead we have douchebag guidos being famous & horrible neon colors, wheres the visual kei?

[Misterioso]

Sputnik were great but I couldn't stand Generation X(James's previous vehicle)and Janet Street Porter needs a slap!

[Tonkku]

Damn this shit was hot...

[scifiknut]

Hah, I still have this as a maxi single on vinyl, as well as the "Flaunt it" album. What was I thinking.... :o) .

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Whoa, and I just noticed one of those dudes has a headband with the MSX logo, like the old Japanese computer.

How obscure...

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Awesome; love that cell phone and CD player...

[Edgarin0776]

[lovetank3000]

Decadence in perfection!

[ZzaphodD]

Haha, had the album back in 86.

Why did everyone in my hillbilly village back then think I was odd? ;-)

[chrometoaster]

freako psycho horror show.. yeah, baby.

[wrexhamforeve]

This group were the most hyped group ever and this was before they actually released a single. If I remember correctly the hype got the single to number one due to pre-record sales and to be honest they were pretty crap. Lasted around 2 -3 years before everyone got bored of their crap music.

[dionimel]

SPETTACOLO

[xxxpancioxxx]

galacticxxxs punxss from sputnik(some planet from the galaxy of melmac)

[jh385]

I remember buying this in 1986 in Ft. lauderdale fl. Cool band image, and great uniquie sound. had a rockabilly jet age feel to it! thanks for posting this..AWSOME!

[bullstaff72]

22 years old and it still fuckin owns

[axandr1]

mammamia credevo di morire quando mi sono imbattuto in questo video, un rigurgito dei miei spensierati 15/17 anni, un'emozione potente ed un tuffo in un passato recente ke mi ha dato una scarica di pura adrenalina

sigue sigue rules...

[odorifero]

Una cosa curiosa:la canzone è "il ragazzo del 21° secolo". E compare, se ci fai caso, il CD, il telefonino, la mini-radiolina (grande quanto un ipod), e la telecamera. Salvo per le acconciature improponibili, ci hanno colto abbastanza.
