Test Dept Gdansk

[TheRealMollyMaev]

Reminds me of Bob Dylan's Masters of War

I kinda like it with the volume you lowered

makes the passion seem more personified

I was taught if you can comprehend a video in silence

than the artists did their job....And I think we've got a winner

@andywhorehall

How did you deduce that, you really are talking crap!

[codexeuropa]

Thanks so much for posting this. I remember clearly the night was broadcast - it was my first exposure to industrial music and I was fascinated.

[EYEmusique]

Awesome - gosh I wish this was available in high quality! So sad so much of the early real industrial music is so poorly preserved. Though in a way it kind of adds to the raw deconstructing charm of it all. lol. Thanks for posting!

[VoiceOverBerlin]

Why's the audio so quiet? This should be LOUD!!!

[Brokstedter]

Best i could do.The video i took it from was cream crackered!

[coy0te9]

I had this on the miners strike fund raiser lp with the Welsh miners choir. I didn't like it at the time and let a friend talk me into giving it to them for a birthday present.

[ash23neuro]

They copycated SPK. Nice video tho.

[gombie]

well, i'm only happy about that, there's NOT ENOUGH bands like test dept and SpK.

@ash23neuro

Back to school you really know absolutely nothing, go listen to the integity of SPK with 'metal dance' fave of the teeny bop paper 'Record Mirror'

[mpkpkm]

Early TD is one of my favourite bands.

Que viajado esta este video

[losbrons]

volado kerras decir?

[ErnestGonVill]

Aquí en mi paiz nos referimos a que esta viajado alucinado chingon buena música y volado aquí es echar un volado con una moneda que caiga con cualquiera de las dos caras o que alguien tubo un hijo con otra mujar fuera del matrimonio a eso se le llama volado.

[lemontarsier]

Way back when, I heard they performed live with Diamanda Galas. That must have been amazing and brutal.

[satellitic]

Poss official release of bootleg recording in pipeline

[groinhat]

I was never convinced by TD at the time, the music press wrote interesting stuff about them, but they sounded like a kind of posh Neubauten. Had their moments, though.

My mate actually saw them in Poland in the 80s (but not in Gdansk) - apparently they were really excited to be playing for a working class audience, but in commie times the cooncil just put some bands on and folk turned up cos there was bugger all else to do.

Wow.... this video was my fav of Test department.

The music at that period was phenomenal... The industrial movement was really something!

thanks for sharing that classic!

[iamdeprogram]

The sound is way too quiet! This is Test Department for God's sake! Play it loud!
