From the 1984 movie "Electric Dreams"
Electric Dreams is a 1984 movie set in San Francisco, California that depicts a love triangle between a man, a woman, and a home computer. It stars Lenny Von Dohlen, Virginia Madsen and Bud Cort (voice) and was directed by Steve Barron.
The soundtrack features music from prominent popular musicians of the time, being among the first of the movies of this generation that actively explored the commercial link between a movie and its soundtrack. The sountrack album Electric Dreams was re-issued on CD in 1998.
The singer (AND CO-WRITER OF THE SONG) in the video is Phil Oakey of The Human League. This video is on "The Best of The Human League" DVD.
There is a cameo by Giorgio Moroder (the man wearing glasses who comes into the radio studio to find out what is going on), he is co-writer/producer Giovanni Giorgio Moroder on April 26, 1940 in Ortisei, Italy) is an Academy Award-winning Italian record producer, songwriter and performer, whose groundbreaking work with synthesizers during the 1970s was a significant influence on new wave, techno and electronic music in general. Particularly well known are Donna Summer's disco hits produced by Moroder, including "I Feel Love". Moroder is also the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which served as a recording home for artists ranging from Led Zeppelin and Queen to Elton John for much of the 1980s and 1990s.
Moroder was one of the producers of "Love to Love You Baby" -- Donna Summer's 17 minute opus -- along with Pete Bellotte. Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a variety of others including Swedish-born Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Debbie Harry and France Joli.
The VHS recording of this movie is rare. It was released in 1984 and again in 1991, but has not been manufactured since the mid-1990s.

yes its strange that the earth has been around for millions of years but virtually everything around us has been invented in the last 50 years or so, im feelig old now!!!! great song by the way phil...
This song makes me instantly think of tthe 1980s, of Retro Pcs, which probably looked gorgeous then, but look old and outdated now. I wonder if I'll look back on my PC in 20 years with the same adoration as I do for "Her" now :)
This was the first music video I ever edited for Steve Barron, We had just finished the main titles and the effects for the film and did this in a couple of very long days. Steve is a great director and a wonderful person to work with a:-) Steve went on to direct Coneheads and Mutant Ninja Turtles and a whole lot of great music videos....
Very Cool! I think that it is as close to perfect to fit the mood as you can get!
I also have "Don't You Want Me" up and many comment on how great it looks compared to most videos of that time. Virgin did it right those days! "Electric Dreams" I think was the forst major movie that really used the music placement to the max.
