I've still got this on a 7" single.
Well done for uploading it.

Brilliant. Sounds like they recorded it together, but Rene recorded his verses and sent them back to David who then supplied the music.

I got a signed and numbered copy of the reissue cd at one of his performances circa 2005. It has nothing, armour, 2 tracks of just the spoken word portions and another new track. At david j's website it appears you can order it from him as well as learn a little bit more about the history.

@JonTheDandy Very nice. I might be using your video as an inspiration for making a video to a song of mine in the future =)
-
great... very special for me as well, still have the 7" from decades ago. By the way, you may be interested in the CD version David put together a few years back, it has another track called The New God, which also features Rene Halkett's wonderful words and voice

as said on "armour" video, this is one of my top-10 singles from the 80s_
probably and one of the most precious in my collection, too ;)
anyway, thank you for posting this amazing track_
regards_
I really like his video. Did you do all he drawings?

I cannot believe that "no one" has commented on this piece - but then again - maybe "no one exists to comment" - so I now comment on Nothing...
The best 4AD record I ever bought - the skill of the poetry is all in the "inflection" of the lyrics - pure genius...
Now to find the B side Armour - a similar work of pure perfection
