Rational Youth on Musi-Video Show (Cité Phosphore)

[MrRikard1994]

Greetings from Falkenberg in Sweden to all of you musiclovers in Montreal. 

[TrainmasterCurt]

And also, this first version is more raw and analogue than the 1982 "Cold War Night Life" version

[2Beers4me]

Awesome 80's!!! Wish I was back in 1979-82.. Nothing sounds like this today.

[mishmoshable]

@2Beers4me check out Innergaze or Soft metals. Their super new synth pop/electronic but they use virtually the same gear.

[rolandtb808]

roland tr808 :)

[TomKayW]

@rolandtb808 Casiotone!

[Franzko787]

These guys were exceptional.

[Prayergirl100]

What a funky band. Great synthesizers...awesome!

[TrainmasterCurt]

@Prayergirl100 This and Visage are my fav groups

[TrainmasterCurt]

you tube dot com/watch?v=z1vDJ98gl6I&fmt=18 The first version of Cité Phosphore, City of Night from the Musi-Video show from late 1981, classic!

[TrainmasterCurt]

Dancing on the Berlin Wall is another good song, too bad they don't have a video for that!

[TrainmasterCurt]

After listening to the extended version from the album, this one seems slower

[TrainmasterCurt]

Where can you get a Casio VL-Tone?

[TrainmasterCurt]

If you like this, check out anything by Logic System

[JBLanteigne]

Bill Vorn ftw!

[ajittffcure]

I have the Casio VL-Tone that is used in this video! Nice footage. This band reminds me of OMD.

[italodisco007]

Simply one of the best synth-melody around! Brings back great memories...

[nolifeclickhere]

fuck this...look cover from standing waltz.. keep me in touch

[LustForHate]

Fuck you and Standing Waltz. Rational Youth was an innovative band, Standing Waltz are just copy cats who try to repeat history.

[rdgk123]

Champ pang... wow or was it chamapgne?

" ne tombez pas en amour avec moi", I'd love to find this. this is rare rare rare..if you got it contact me please!

[drgalactik]

hello i have this records i can shared it

[MegaFuckyoubastard]

@rdgk123 its "champagn" cant find it anywhere i have it on vinyl though

[SilencioFilm]

Wow! can't believe this. The guy dressed in white is my teacher. Pretty cool to make such a discovery.

[TrainmasterCurt]

@SilencioFilm Bill Vorn was your teacher?

[SilencioFilm]

@TrainmasterCurt exact, he was teaching a programming class on max msp jitter at university.

[TrainmasterCurt]

@SilencioFilm That is great, is'nt Bill Vorn's real name Yves Bilodeau?

[SilencioFilm]

@TrainmasterCurt  That's right, his name is Yves Bilodeau.

[TrainmasterCurt]

@SilencioFilm And i still wish i knew what he said on the vocoder on this great song? Even Tracy Howe does'nt know? Can you help me?

[SilencioFilm]

@TrainmasterCurt Nah...unfortunately I can't help you with this one. I am totally clueless. He has a website...just type bill vorn it should be in the first one and try to contact him.

[lambie22]

@SilencioFilm i am so jealous!

[cacanero22]

esto si es una raresa de video.

[goblinsclub]

Great nostalgic video! The song later became "City Of Night" on the album "Cold War Night Life". Thanx for sharing a very rare song and video! :-)

[rurkano]

It's a very good song.

Franchement c'est pas démodé, c'est la base de tout, je ne connaissais pas ce groupe canadien mais j'apprécie beaucoup.

[Nouveauxromo]

Oh my gawd, fabbbbulous...

Makes me want to go in a dark little club in Berlin in 1981 with lots of smoke machine and

dress up in frills and designer wear...

To fantastic for words, this band is genius!

[TrevFinn]

I love Rational Youth!!!

[BettyWoo]

My God. Where did you *get* this?? I wonder if the show ever had 'Cham-pang' doing "Ne Mourez Pas"... .

[dodorho]

tu as bien raison ,,utubernatural,,j aimerais bien la telecharger en quelque par,,,

[Utubernatural]

GÉNIALE !!!!!

Je ne suis pas d'accord, la version française est la première et meilleur !

[secondhanddaylight]

The English Version of this song is better but this one is really awesome as well !

Thanks a lot (-_-)
