Fiat Lux Blue Emotion Rare 80s

[dickiedosh]

Great song. RIP Ian Nelson

[Xanixade]

damn this day music.... only commercial, never promoting new bands, never promoting diversity...

[vampyre71]

Great track - 'Hired History' was a great E.P!

[bernzeppi]

Great, I'm guessing they wanted to actually play but the studio wouldn't let them. "fuck 'em, we'll play our instruments backwards!"

[hardcorl]

Eehm...what does he do with the bass? ggg And where the fuck is the keyboard??? ggggg

[enggroup]

what a great song..!!! still it gives me nice emotions

[oldiesforever51]

the great sound of the 80Th- was the best ever!!!

[kevertq]

Is this the Simon ?

[teawanga]

@kevertq

do you mean simon x rare 80s web site? nope!

[flicker66]

A great song by a band that deserved far more success that they had. Not only is David Crickmore playing bass the wrong way around but the late Ian Nelson is playing his synth upside down (the keys are facing away from him and he's playing the underneath of it!). Talk about taking the piss by miming! Cool.

[dubjohnston]

@flicker66 .. classic

[bigboredthing]

Helloooooooooooooooooo miss Carr XD 'tis me, loving the singer, smexy voice XD

[ALazySunbather]

Hi. :D Stalker! :O

[pentegom]

@ALazySunbather My dad has known David for a long time too haha, I've grown up with him as my 'uncle' lol :P Hi!

[NealSamples]

this song haunts me every day. in a good way.

[lbfd11]

This band was so pure 80s. Munch respects. R.I.P Ian Nelson Thank you.

[celticbabe67]

God the memories! I only heard this song bout 3x,and HAD TO BUY IT!!!!! i was a bit sad when it didn't do better in the charts! :-( but it's still a classic....where are they from? Dunno much about them? xxx

[oldiesforever51]

Great- but I like 'SECRETS' much better!!!

[fiatluxarebrill]

Just in case anyone's interested and wants tp spread the news, but the BBC are playing a "lost" Janice Long session by Fiat Lux on BBC 6 Music between 4am and 5am this Saturday Morning 22nd Aug 2009. It's got an acoustic version of Secrets on it featuring great sax from the late much lamented Ian Nelson. Cheers all!

[jezzyby47]

I didn't know they were ever that big as to be on musik laden. That bass playing is unique - even a maestro like Mick Karn couldn't play it like that - with the strings facing him!

[feefeeles]

this was a song about paint...blue emulsion

[fiatluxarebrill]

Yeah, and Polydor continued the "blue" theme when they threatened to publicise the song by giving away promotional bottles of blue beer. True! That and blue soap - "Lux" geddit? Shocking!

[petrusaloisius]

secrets is one of the best records ever of Fiat Lux

[Soccerham]

IMHO secrets is one of the best new wave songs ever. What an underrated band.

[martinjc5071]

Fita Lux - a great band in the day. what bass!! brilliant. listening to this brings back great memories of the 80's.

COME BACK DAVE!!!!

[someloser190]

LMAO

[namelesstombstone]

Funny video. Great to see artists who could laugh at themselves. Great music, too.

[guanoboy]

LOL...Dave the bassist is hysterical here!

[lwsmackie2]

I got the picture disc of this!!!!!!

[IMPERIALSTORMTROOPER]

ive got the 12" of secrets.

Ahhh back in the day. OMD, Fiat Lux, H20 etc

Now IVE ALL GONE ALL MINIM4L T3CHNO

[fincaspain]

Still got this on a 12" somewhere,loved this song but had never seen the video,top stuff!

[flicker66]

A great band who never really made it big. RIP Ian Nelson - the keyboard player on this performance - who died on his 50th birthday in April 2006. Notice that they're deliberately miming badly: Dave the bassist flipping his bass over so that he was 'playing' the non-stringed side and Ian playing what appeared to be a bare board! A great song from a great band.

[fenderstrat1957]

wow ! I remember seeing them at my high school

back in the 80'S

[barnabyspencer]

wow that is such a track

[john123zxy]

cool

[taracatalin]

Thanks hun for posting this.

Hope all is ok with you.

:)

[fllufc]

great stuff- I remember seeing them in 1984 in Leeds at The Warehouse- great show- other hits I remember were Secrets, Feels Like Winter Again, and House of thorns. I think they were a fave of one BBC DJ but they never really made it big.

[StayDel]

oh loved FIAT LUX and saw them live a few times, great live band. takes me back. thanks for posting!

[DrMorbeus]

Great song from the great mini LP - Hired History. You are not alone Lux fans!

[kiwijohn01]

Did you get a chance to hear the album? Wasn't too bad at all, but I LOVE the bass on this track!

[maxmaxmau]

after more of 22 years i can see fiat lux ... fantastic ... thanks a lot

[petrusaloisius]

me thought that too

[miaowlets]

Cannot believe (i) this exists (ii) it's been posted here. Love Fiat Lux and thought I was the only one! Many thanks.

[hiredhistory]

Well, truly great. Spirit of the age. The hair, the moves, the audience! And so rare. Thank you to whoever posted this footage.

[adrianborland]

Excellent. This song is great. I like the way they made this show with a large sense of humour. The position of the mic of the bassist, The bass and the keyboard turned upside down, ... really fun. Thank you.

[kraven666]

Extrange,but great

[BUDA20]

Wow! great!
