Clock dva - the Operators

In June of 1977, Adi Newton, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, formed a group called The Dead Daughters, their next incarnation was the Studs. The group which consisted of Adi Newton, Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh (Future, The (3)), Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17), Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder, Chris Watson (Cabaret Voltaire), and Haydn Boyes-Weston (2.3). For a short period prior to forming Clock DVA, Adi Newton was one of the three members of the Future who later went on to form The Human League and later as Heaven 17. Shortly after their formation Adi Newton left and was replaced by Philip Oakey: the future ended as quickly as it had begun, they changed their name to The Human League and released "Being Boiled". Then, Adi Newton teamed up with his friend Stephen "Judd" James Turner and formed ClockDVA and recruited two additional members David James Hammond for guitar and Simon Mark Elliot Kemp for electronics. In May 1981 Paul Browse joined Clock DVA and remained a constant member until relocating to Berlin in 1989 where he began his Effective Force project for MFS.

i was a member of Clock dva one summer in 78...I played one gig with them upstairs in a pub in sheffield....we used strip lights as stage props (idea stolen from Performance) ...the main band which we all totally ignored later turned out to be Def Leopard.!!! who I've continued to ignore ....Adi asked me to join after spotting me at a Cabs gig at the Uni one night.

Anyone know what's the theme (I guess from Clock DVA) that Karl was listening in the Room 23 on LOST? The brainwashing one?...

Please, if you are going to post a video with a history of a group at least make sure the info is complete and DOES include individuals who ACTUALLY were involved in creating the music. It’s pretty poor not to get your facts correct.

To clarify this track is from Digital Soundtracks. 1992.

Credits: Adi Newton, Dean Dennis, Robert E Baker.

I love this song. As for the video, I can see it is inspired by the Hacker video, but the editing is just too slow to convey that feeling of cyberspace and total information overload that the official The Hacker video conveys. 2x, possibly even 4x the speed, and it would probably look awesome.

Good effort though, looking forward for other works.

Search for the album Digital Soundtracks.

This song has marked and influenced me irreversibly. I wish there was a longer full version.
