Yes I loved the Prophet 5 as well! everyone used them from Gary Numan to Duran Duran back then! I got a Roland Juno 60 a few years back now Im down to a JX-3p & D-10! still got a kork 01w/fd & a Ensoniq EPS-16+, Im hoping my son takes them up as it would be a waste! kids now a days don't know how lucky they are!
Very under rated band, I remember seeing this video on TOTP way back them, poor you paying £850 for keyboard but my god they were all expensive back them! I wanted a Oberheim OB-Xa! No chance! Kids have it easy now thats for sure!
@dunx1964 - I wanted a Prophet 5 but that was £1500 and i couldn't afford that so i got the polysix. Oberheims were in the £3500 range weren't they? That's about £40,000 at todays prices!!! - and there's a software version of that too for about £100. Some of those old analogues still hold there value well though.
Jezzyby47, you say that kids today have never had it so good, well I don't think so really. Music was far superior back then and also the fact that you could actually buy a house on average earnings back then without both partners needing to work a lifetime to pay the bankers. You are right to a certain extent with the software synths although real analogue is still far superior in terms of sound.
God bless! Brilliant. And a house for a few thousand. So, what's so good about modern life? It seems like it was all slower back then.

@iman4d - Saw them last night at the O2 in Sheffield. Absolutely amazing. Catch them on this tour if you can, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for posting this video. This is a fantastic song. It didn't make the top 10 but then again the charts were very strong in the early 1980s.
