What a great video and version of the Glitter Band song. Just goes to show a good tune and an inventive video director wih a small budget can make more of an impact than some overpaid clown with a ton of crappy CGI.I'm going to dig the 12" out and play it now!
sometimes its the very limitations of technology that frees the imagination to create something truly wonderful with now primitive video equipment..probably u-matic!! A room in a London Poly, some outrageous clothing, the odd stage prop and an extremely limited video mixing pallete combined with some very talented young people and through some strange alchemical process highly original and creative art is born....it helps of course that the GB cover is just genius and still sounds amazing today.
that's very Strange stuff (with capital S, no typo ;-)) BTW, did they ever record an ALBUM? Only thing I can and could find about them is these two singles, Angel Face and Dynamo Beat (1981).
This was such a brilliant song to dance to. This and Soft Cell's Memorabilia were guaranteed to fill any dance-floor (unless of course you were in a Ska, Rocker, Punk or Skinhead club!)
I am in the U.S., and new to Pereno's background-which I find interesting considering the contents of these lyrics, alongside his previous involvement with a 14-year-old! Anyone know what he's doing lately?
And how great does Tik and Tok look in this video?? Poor lads are boiling under those studio lights and costumes! ^_^
Era dal 1981 che davo la caccia a questa canzone. Voi non ci crederete. Ma grazie a Youtube ed ad un amico, appassionato come me di dance 80, e con il ritornello Angel Face che mi continuava a frullare nella mente, e svariati tentativi, ce l'ho fatta! Grazie e chi ha pubblicato questo meraviglioso video e fantastica canzone!!!
Amazing band - right in the middle of New Romantasism....great track.
Had the privelidge of meeting Tik and Tok recently - lovely guys!!! Of course the Blairs' "Guru" Caplin is the wild haired red head in this video - ahhhhhhhhhhh GREAT TIMES!!!
Did these guys ever release an album with this and DynamoBeat on? or are these on Tik&Tok albums.Whatever this a cool pumping electro tune I still love listening to it.
Well, I certainly didn't remove my last comment. Which simply stated that the song's co-writer, the Glitterband's late Gerry Shephard provided the lead vocal for this track.
Man, that was jolly good, over-the-top-fun!! It's so much like my dreams, IT'S SCARY! LOLOLOL I love it-this fits my artistic personality to a super 'T'.
This is a remake of The Glitter Band's Angel face. Shock is more of an acting troupe than a music group. None of them can play any instruments. Rumour is they couldn't sing either. Tik and Tok are the "robots".
I have it....
Yes!!!!
I have it on 7" vinyl.
Bloody sodding hard to get back then.
But yes , I have it , picture cover n all :-)

You're a child of sweet sixteen Never made the big town scene
Always loved to stay at home Never made it on your own
I see your picture what do i see
The face of an angel Staring at me staring at me
Angel face Angel face You've got the cutest Angel face
Angel face Angel face I'm gonna make you my Angel face
you don't know just what i mean You should be a beauty queen
Got to get you ready fast Who knows how long your looks will last
Look in the mirror Believe that it's true . . .

Wasn't Tasty Tim in this band at some point or did they all go on to do Sex and the Beast or something? My memory isn't what it used to be.
I used to dance to this track when I was 15 every Tuesday night at a place called Winston's back in 1981. Man! I thought I was so cool...
