Mirrors are SERIOUSLY... THE best band to come out since the mid 80s!!! They are PERFECTION! Just ordered the album, only discovered them 2 days ago and EVERYTHING by them is PURE PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!
I just discovered Mirrors today and i can 101% SAY that they are mt favourite band of the modern age. Thank You Mirrors for bringing back 1982, 1983 and 1984 back in a modern genius way!!!
"I play synth....d d d der der....we all play synth.....d d d der der....I love my life as a dickhead......all my friends are dickheads too....." Truth be told though this is quite a good track....
Mirrors certainly have a unique style and tone. Loved their show at Troxy w. Foxx and Numan. Mirrors were so very cool, young, enthusiastic and really quite marvellous in their performance.
Well, "copycat" as mentionned below. This song is good but you should change your way of dancing lol. Indeed, this video seems to be a parody of 80's electro new wave bands. Seems not serious at all. Too bad because this track is good.
Well I saw them live on the same bill as John Foxx and Gary Numan, they went down a storm, I personally love their take on this kinda music, I'd pay to see them on thier own too.
These guys are copycats, no doubt about it. But they don't look like Kraftwerk (look for instance at old John Foxx videos - I think they got some inspiration there) nor do they sound like Kraftwerk. It's pretty obvious that they are copying 80's OMD most of the time, and in "Ways to an End" they mix it with early Simple Minds.
It doesnt matter that this style has been `done before`.I grew up in the 70`s and early 80`s listening the to original Synth legends like Kraftwerk,Gary Newman,OMD,John Foxx ,Vangellis,Human League etc etc and i have to say i really love this band at the ripe old age of 44.Its well written and very well crafted so who cares if its been `done before`,its just good pop music !
Fancy downloading Andy McClusky of OMD's remix of the Mirrors track 'Secrets' for free? Of course you do! And it's available for fans of Mirrors Facebook page.
@Exmirror looks forward? Backward more like. This image and sound has been done in the 70's already. They have literally just copied Kraftwerk. Its been done!
@jiggarypokery So, every act using electronics is essentially derivative of Kraftwerk? That's like saying every band that has picked up a guitar has been ripping off the Stones. Have fun with it. It seems their nod to Kraftwerk is more than evident, and the songs are there. "Plagiarism is necessary. Progress demands it." --Lautreamont
@Exmirror I didnt say that. I said THIS band has copied Kraftwerks style of music AND image. Watch the music video to Kraftwerk - The Robots and you can see for yourself. This style and look HAS BEEN DONE. Band members stood in a line playing keyboards with side parted hair, shirts and ties. COPIED. Copying another band. Talk about money for old rope.
@JJ62 theres nothing to 'get' as you put it. 'Parody' 'homage' inspired by' call it what you want, this band are making money out of COPYING something somebody has already done. Thats is the point you missed in my comment. They are making money by copying - therefore are unoriginal.
@jiggarypokery Its amazing how many bands use that term 'inspired by' these days to cover up the fact they dont know what to do but copy somebody elses music. And this is NO piss take, this band clearly think they are original. 'Lets copy my dads favourite band from the 1970's'
@callmemayble Bullshit. Do you really think they're that unintelligent? If you can't see that it's being done tongue-in-cheek then you really are a bit of a plank. No offence, like.
@JJ62 Did i question the bands intelligence? No. I am merely pointing out they are Kraftwerk clones. If 'tongue in cheek' is the new word and way of making money in the music industry, - copying other bands, then its clearlyy a sad time for it.
@callmemayble Yes, but can you name me one band that is doing stuff that hasn't been done before, in one way or another? La Roux is making a killing out of 80's rehashing, at least this has got a bit of balls...
@JJ62 I most certainly can NOT name you a band that is original and hasnt 'copied' of other bands, its a sign of the times, there is nowhere left to go for the music industry but copy whats already been done.
@jiggarypokery I never said they were original, you plum. There a very few truly original artists around right now - what woudl your idea of an original artist be then? I just said that the video is a bit of a pisstake. I've met James from the band a few times and he's a smart lad and knows exactly what they're doing. It's pop music, not astrophysics. Take a step back and enjoy it for what it is.
@JJ62 if this was a one off video, a one off piss take, fair enough, i would agree with you, but I have listened to and watched their other videos they all sound the same and you think of shirt and tie Kraftwerk straight away. Original artist = producing your OWN song with your OWN style and OWN image. Thats originality in my opinion. Look, if these guys can get away with making money through copying, good on them. who cares? I dont.
i think you're wrong if you listen to tangerine dream in the 70's their have nothing in common with their neighbours in Dusseldorf i mean Kraftwerk or NEU! and all were using synths
Marmiteums - completely agree that these guys are something else.. IMHO they have Kraftwerk's precision, OMD's melody and Talk Talks's depth.. and a lot more.. can't stop listening to their stuff... looking forward to seeing them live in Leeds.
I agree, a lil bit of OMD, Kraftwerk, Thompson Twins, but also a lil bit of Gary Numan. Drummer kinda looks like a young Jimmy Fallon. Very retro, keep it up boys.
@PSBelectronica Exactly. Thats all the music industry can come up with now, clones of other bands from years ago. Dont get me wrong, this band is good, but they are basically just copying what somebody else has already done in the hope that the younger generation wont know that, think their original and amazing and by their music. Originality is DEAD.
@jiggarypokery You are right,originality is dead,but when something sounds good,I don't really think if it's original or not(sometimes,not always).Mirrors sound very elegant and classy compared to the rest of the music industry(the majority of nowadays').
@PSBelectronica Oh I agree with you there, even virtual copies of other peoples style of music (such as this) would sound better than the commerical trash churned out nowadays.
Love their music...saw them for the first time supporting OMD in Hannover... even caught a special about them on BFBS Radio... they tour in England after the shows with OMD.
This song as amazing - unbelievable!!!!!! Should be a Europea No. 1 Single - what a great sound - cool Sequencer and rhythm. The EP from the OMD tour is really worth buying - 9 songs - fantastic quality. Thanks OMD for choosing MIRRORS - after HURTS the next fantastic successors of the 80s - the story seems to go on after DM, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Blancmange, OMD, Yazoo etc.
hey check on itunes uk. their singles are there, but be warned there are is another act called mirrors i think, so sample the suff first. The other videos on this page idicate which tracks are by these Mirrors" Bery good stuff. Check out the new OMD single and imminent album.
