[AlphabetSoupCircus]

I didn't look at the "WARNING; LOUD AUDIO TRACK!!!" until I, at 2:38 in the morning, clicked on the video and had the volume on both my computer and the Youtube settings all the way up. xD

[BrutalNoodle]

The fact that this was shot in 1976 is mind boggling. I just love this piece!

[BMayhew60]

I can just see a bunch of engineers from that era getting into this. Oh yeah, I'm an engineer from that era. This is awesome!

[pontello3]

[wandrew42]

Just amazing. Can you tell us what Hallie Gerber is up to these days? And since this was before character gen and motion-capture sensors, did you give her any special instructions (e.g., slow movements better than fast)?

[tomandbrianmusic]

We did "Driving Me Backwards" first. I showed her the results then we shot "Baby's on Fire" so she had some idea of what was happening, but I'm glad we didn't have a monitor for her so she wouldn't watch herself.

[Koureas]

That's just tooo cool. Thanks!

[yozeroz]

thats vintage quality that is :D

[bobdogkid]

This is the hot-buttered music I listened to growing up and helped develop the Psilocybin Disciples sound. Eno and Fripp really took it to the edge of human imagination and beyond -they made thier own music.

[ronenosity]

do you have any more info on this studio or how the video was made

[teazer999999]

This was made over 30 years ago, live using analog electronics, no computers. The video mixing board had a threshold output that only sent video that was brighter than a threshold to a TV monitor. I had a cameraman point a camera at this monitor and fed the camera output back to the monitor, creating feedback on the brightest parts of the body. The camera operator would play with monitor saturation, vertical hold, camera tilt and zoom to get all these cool effects.

Fantastic video. Reminds me a bit of Bowie's for Ashes to Ashes. Made over 30 years ago, but (IMOHO) this looks really hip today. The tape wear adds to it.

[Spike1885]

if you like that, you should watch the semi thing of velvet goldmine.. its a fantasy peice.. but its rather intresting to watch..

[googoobh]

Classic Eno , post more Eno frip and phil

[Ninyae1]

This track is just perfect chaos.

[rphunt2002]

100 years from now after U2 and Talking Heads (who?)is forgotten, this song will still be remembered

[creamwhiteroom22]

No, I am fairly certain that Talking Heads will survive the sands of time.

[bbqplatypus318]

In response to creamwhiteroom22:

Not coincidentally, Remain in Light, arguably the Talking Heads' best album, was produced by - guess who? - Brian Eno.

[creamwhiteroom22]

I'm personally partial to Fear of Music only because Fripp is a beast.

Also, Eno was on David Bowie's "Heroes"

[sex6cult9revolution]

@bbqplatypus318 Eno produced More Songs about Buildings and Food & Fear of Music as well. Where Remain in Light is distinct is in the fact that Eno shared in the actual songwriting. This was concurrent with the Catherine Wheel and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. So, needless to say, Eno and Byrne were working very closely at that time, producing arguably most of the best material they would together. And yes, both have survived over time and will!

i agree with Keith25658 . Thanks !!

[keith25658]

wonderful song,nice video,thank you for posting!!!!

[Ruiner10000000001]

Amazing piece of music (stunning gutiar work by Fripp). Not too sure about the bloke in the funny hat...

[billmossII]

Absolutely stunning piece of guitar work by Robert Fripp in this song. Eno gathered quite an eclectic group of musicians and like the video that goes with this piece, predominantly analog.
