I admire the group of people who still know about this song or this album for that matter. Here in tje states, nobody seems to know anything about the Buggles other than Video Killed The Radio Star. It is a shame. I don't know what it is. This album has such a different sound, and it draws me in. I just get taken to a different place.
I use to fly out to see my sister and brother in law in Houston from Southern Cal in the 80's when this dropped and we listed to it all the time. We were big Yes and Asia fans at the time along with many others but this song and this album, Adventures in modern recording, was so amazing and we got completely absorbed by every note. It was fun, deep, dreamy and super ahead of its time. Loved it... Great minds -
Les américains ne connaissent rien aux groupes 80-90 rock alternatif . Gros sons des synthes , ça ils ne connaissent pas et trevor Horn est un bon compositeur. 😅. Les français oui.
I love all the songs from the Buggles I haven't heard there music in a while I wish they were still together today they were GREAT together they had a sound of there own in that year of music back in the day
It actually might have been Horn's own label, ZTT. A lot of other ZTT albums like the early Art of Noise albums have also disappeared from the online services. They were responsible for the remastered version of the album.
The Buggles! What can you say? Love both albums. A sound unequalled to this day. Well maybe you'll hear his production on other artists albums. Heh heh, albums! Showing my age there but it has made a bit of a comeback. Yeah, Trevor Horn, producer extraordinary... .. . .
FELIXSTRYKER.... LOVE YOU...thank you soooo very much for posting this album....not many care ...but WE do....you understand "Me and You"...you are such my sweet!! XO
This should rank among Sgt. Peppers and Pet Sounds as one of the best albums ever created. Though I suppose it was too ahead of its time for the people of the day to be ready for it.
Yeah, my story with this album is that in about 1988 my dad bought 2 big boxes of records at a garage sale. This album happened to be in the box still in its original packaging. I took the record out and played it for the first time that day and Loved it. I was around 8 years old and was infactuated with the album LOL. Anyhow Klaskatt.....Hold on to them records because they are rare collectors items. It has been out of print since 2001.
I have GOT to find the CD for this. One of my alltime favorite LPs. Had it on vinyl, and haven't seen it since, figuring it would appear on CD. DAMNED GREAT LP!
Saw the Drama tour years ago @ MSG in NYC - I was just a kid...It sticks in my head to this day. Now I'm 41 - time flies...I had this on vinyl & lost it years ago. Had I known it what such a bitch to regain, I would have kept it safer!!! Oh well..Thanks for the posting, the web rules!!!!!!! Jon Anderson was very cool & a vanguard, but I've seen both & this version of the band was really way ahead of the times!!!!!
Wow, it's amazing to rediscover this album! I used to love the buggles when I was a teenager! I have the vinyl still but can't listen to the first song on each side due to the fact that very early on I dropped the record and it just broke in one spot - a round hole appeared where the first track is..... ;-)
"trfesok3 years ago Hmm.. sounds like Horn's and Downes' time in Yes had an influence on this track" I think it was the other way around - AFAIK this album and track preceded the Yes material and you can hear the influence of this on "Drama" as well as Yes's re-recording of other tracks from the album. Great collaboration and I for one would have happily bought another Yes album with this lineup but the die-hards hated Trevor big time sadly. Drama is still my most played Yes album however.
Indeed, even the Buggles' first album has some stuff that sounds a bit Yes-ish, even though it precedes any connection. The first track of the first album could easily pass for a later Yes track. Just needs transposing up in pitch a few semitones, and you can imagine Jon Anderson singing it. I can see what Yes saw in these guys.
Well, you can find it on CD but it is very expensive. About 12 years ago it was going for around $65 dollars. Today I heard from another comment posted here that it can sell for up to a few hundred dollars.
Thanks for the info. As much as I love this LP, I would never pay such an exhorbetent (sp?) price for it. Especially since the LP I had was a promo copy that I paid nothing for. I'm sure there is a used record store that has it on vinyl, and if/when I find it, I'll convert it to CD. For my own personal use, that is.
I put this in my Buggles playlist with the rest of the album and more. There also was a Japanese prog group by the same name. I wonder if they named themselves after the song?
Ah! Vermilion Sands by the book was some very exclusive vacation real estate. I always imagined that it was on the red planet with beaches, Cadillacs, fancy (and very strong) drinks and singing flowers for sale. J.G. Ballard captured the mood perfectly.
J G Ballard was the inspiration for this, a super story by Ballard, it is set in Las Vegas but not we know. Trevor Horn is a fan of Ballard obviously. I have read him for years, an incredible imagination. Ex High Rise opens with a character roasting a dog, the only drive is to get to the top where the really interesting characters are.
I know great song isn't it? I think there should be an remix, after all it was decades ago. Bring Vermilion sands back with a new flavor for the 21st century.

YES is what brought me to Buggles in the last few years. Better late than, right?
Soon to be 54.

Why did it get removed?
This song is an other 80s timeless song... Back when music had substance,feelings..purpose...
Love all the songs of Trevor and Geoff🎵🎶🎤🎹
Still have this album on vinyl.
damn! those synths on ur vinyl has to sound so delicious
@@antilusion6960 It was truly beautiful. I've gone through several.
I’m 32 and I have the vinyl
26.07.'22., cityMinsk Beloryssia ❤️, thenks merzy danke Dziakyiu Gracias Spasibo ❤️❤️💯🔥😎.
Love the album, and this song is one of the most underated of the 80s, pure class.
Adventures in Modern Recording is my single favorite CD I own, it is amazing all the songs are unique and outstanding musically!
Great amazing Song
This album is one reason I listen to talk radio. Very, very few musicians or producers today are on this level.
never gonna forgive whoever had this song removed from spotify
So true
It actually might have been Horn's own label, ZTT. A lot of other ZTT albums like the early Art of Noise albums have also disappeared from the online services. They were responsible for the remastered version of the album.
@@cubdukat wow I remember art of noise. Never really my favorite though
@@Kenneth_Fishing I thought they got better once they got away from Horn.
Love this song.
Plus "vermilion" is a beautiful word.
Much better than vermicious, that's for sure.
Extraordinary piece of music - brings back lovely memories.
The Buggles! What can you say? Love both albums. A sound unequalled to this day. Well maybe you'll hear his production on other artists albums. Heh heh, albums! Showing my age there but it has made a bit of a comeback.
Yeah, Trevor Horn, producer extraordinary... .. . .
Sir Roger Penrose is 89 and going strong. No slippers and pipe and watching crap on TV for him.
Recently got this album in a box of cassettes from a friend, I love it. Thanks for posting this!
THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!
Nice touch with the corresponding images!

Thanks...It is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I've been playing "Adventures in Modern Recording" all week on the car CD, great to find this clip here. Absolute classic album.
Yeah, my story with this album is that in about 1988 my dad bought 2 big boxes of records at a garage sale. This album happened to be in the box still in its original packaging. I took the record out and played it for the first time that day and Loved it. I was around 8 years old and was infactuated with the album LOL.

Don't forget the huge influence 10cc had on these records. Especially a track like this.
Still sounds great..I'll listen till the day I die
Hey Felixstryker, thank you so much for posting this beautiful song!!
This song is just fantastic.
What a nice and different song. very different and so good, Listen! variety. original.
Ahhh. thanks and nice selection of pictures. interesting
Truly amazing what you have done here, Felix. Thanks again.
Heh. I've had this CD for ages, had the record too when it was on Carrere. An ex-co-worker had the CD too, it was like we were in a special club.
Love the Fairlight CMI jazz instruments! It's almost as good as General MIDI
i think this whole album showcases perfectly what the Fairlight was capable of doing back then
Hey Shutterdog, this is really a beautiful song. It brings back such memories, huh? I love it!!
Saw the Drama tour years ago @ MSG in NYC - I was just a kid...It sticks in my head to this day. Now I'm 41 - time flies...I had this on vinyl & lost it years ago.

Have the vinlyls still :D, so glad that i still have them, bought them in the 80s :D
I wish I could find more music by The BUGGLES
This shit rules
4:26 reminds of the music before the lyrics of Video Killed The Radio Star, in Video Killed the Radio Star.
Wow, it's amazing to rediscover this album!
I used to love the buggles when I was a teenager! I have the vinyl still but can't listen to the first song on each side due to the fact that very early on I dropped the record and it just broke in one spot - a round hole appeared where the first track is..... ;-)
Wow thats some track,rare indeed.
I just recived this LP in the mail
"trfesok3 years ago
Hmm.. sounds like Horn's and Downes' time in Yes had an influence on this track"

I googled this song in order to get this video.
Pure science fiction
I've got the gun club..fire of love tshirt.. recall voodoo scene?

+trfesok They probably named it after the J.G. Ballard book

@arthurmex
You Betcha, one of the best musicaly produced albums ever
That piano from 3:08 to 3:12
Eighties. Top.
Hold me in familiar hands..

Dancing in silence...
nice job. Who is the artist at 1:18? I should know, right?
Salvador Dali
@@lornamurphy7429 thank you!
Hey my friend..I have this entire album on vinyl and CD. Is it worth a fortune or just chump change??? Let me knowz???
Drama is a great Yes effort, everyone knows that.
@Felixstryker Hooray!
I know great song isn't it? I think there should be an remix, after all it was decades ago. Bring Vermilion sands back with a new flavor for the 21st century.
If my parents only knew how much I spend on weed$$$welcome to nyc
Reminds me of earthbound
This song is super duper cool. too bad it's never on the radio
Ha ha!! Just realized the hole in my record looks kind of like the hole in the glasses on the vinyl cover.... ;-)
Great song with a little bit 10cc (one night in Paris)
"Make a diamond sweat
Live life flying solo never internet"
But I like the in ter net lol
