Brothers Chris Reynolds and Mark Reynolds, originally from Liverpool, founded Red Flag in San Diego in 1984. At that time they were called Shades of May (until 1985), then Naive Art (until mid 1988). The brothers founded their own independent record label, Plan B Records in 1993. The future of the group was in doubt when singer Mark died in 2003, but following a four-year absence, Chris Reynolds decided in 2007 to move ahead with Red Flag on his own and announced that he was recording a new album. Then other albums followed and the latest one is Serenity released in 2012. Naïve Art is the only album that was made in typical synthpop style of 80s with the obvious hints of Depeche Mode, Camouflage, OMD and Erasure. Later discography of Red Flag moved into darker territories of gloomy ethereal pop, EBM and futurepop.

Who else wants to travel back in better times? The 80ies were the best in my life. Thank you for this great music.💖
We lived through the Golden Age :) What matters now doesn't really matter.
Same here .. 80s best times of my life
We'll never see days like that again.
Thanks for sharing. I had this on cassette. I loved it. My ex boyfriend at the time told me "Noone will even remember this". He wasn't a fan 😔. Ha!! I hate know-it- alls.

Great Synthpop Albuns !
Good things!
There is something oddly satisfying in watching a vinyl record spin and listening to music recorded on it. It's hypnotising
Купил кассету с этой группой в 89 году в музыкальном киоске в Калининграде.Мне сейчас 48 лет.Как же приятно вспоинить молодость и девченок с которыми я слушал эту классную группу.
Самый слабый альбом.Там по сути только и есть "Русское радио", ну и ещё парочка не плохо. Вот дальше... По мне так,самые клёвые альбомы "The Eagle And Child" - 2000 и "Fear Of A Red Planet" - 2001. Вся дискография есть на CD до "Born Again" - 2007 включительно (все оригиналы США / "The Eagle..." Германия).
Ojalá hubiera conocido éste grupo antes. Bueno, si veía un par de videos de sus canciones más conocidas (Russian radio y Count to three) pero hoy, a más de 50, me fascina y mis niños lo disfrutan. Puedo decir que he recuperado mi juventud... 😅
@@CarlosAlbertoValdezSánchezмне тоже за 50, и всего 3-4 года назад я для себя открыл что кроме Depeche Mode , Camouflage есть ещё неограниченное количество техно
Passou o covid passou dias e dias mas Boa música não passa .feliz 2023
Man, I remember when I first discovered Red Flag I knew I was hearing something special & everytime I revisit Naive Art, that feeling comes rushing back. Thanks Red Flag & all the fans who keep their music alive!🎶🕺🏼🕺🏻🎶
I first heard this at the mall in the record store. I liked it instantly.
Eu conheci "Russian Radio" em 89 mesmo. E curti muito nas festinhas. Até hoje acho uma das mais dançantes e diferentes que conheço. Amei conhecer o LP inteiro. O grupo Red Flag é, foi e sempre será diferenciado. Muito good vibes. Obrigada pela postagem.
Любимая кассета. Плеер Sony. 1-й курс института. Все девчонки мои!😁
soy ENRIQUE....muy buena musica synth - POP, excelente voz...suban mas del grupo.gracias
This band is so underrated its ridiculous
But this is the only good album they made
Desde Chile un abrazo a todos quienes recuerdan esta música!!
Привет всем народ слушал данную группу в1989-90 годах . Классно играют парни и сейчас с удовольствием слушаю и Насталжи .
Yes
Yep.
"Russian Radio" was a recurring greatest hit in the 90s at dance parties in Rio de Janeiro - especially at the suburbs. Thanks for post the original version.
This whole album is a gift. Im so glad i discovered Red Flag..a little bit late but better late than never!
Sounds like upbeat depeche mode. I love it.
It’s amazing how crisp and warm this vinyl version is.
True. Definitely different than the cassette version.
The great album
Love synth
This album magic
Omg.Finally the REAL Naive Art album! Not that Special Edition. For years I search by original Russian Radio or original full album and finally I founded it. Very Thanks!
The Special Edition gives you the beautiful Black Rose :*
The CD with same artwork that I have is possibly marked "Special Edition" (it's stored away so can't check) but only difference I hear is Give Me Your Hand is extended (not remixed, just goes on longer) and All Roads Lead to you is significantly different version. The rest seems the same from memory. I think there were additional tracks on CD, too. They later released Naive Dance remix album (I have CD, too). Red Flag switched record labels at a point and Naive Art was re-released, so changes might have been made then.
@@ShallRemainUnknown first of all song Russian Radio is original mix, most likely everybody search for it. Special Edition includes extended version more dance oriented. Give Me Your Hand sounds like an absolutely different take. I see that original album was released expanded and remastered in 2020. That's a nice thing to put hands on.
@@vinyltogether I researched more online, and I have original Naive Art CD from Enigma, not the later Special Edition by Restless. The original CD has extra remixed tracks in addition to the originals, however, even though the track running times for the common tracks are listed as the same between CD & vinyl, the two tracks I previously mentioned are definitely different in that regard.
Yes, you'd figure with the recent resurgence in retro '80s synthpop, Naive Art is ripe for re-release.
This is the cassette tape version
Elegante, sutil, fino, bello, excelente, Red Flag es otro level.
Even tough this Album came out in 98' I first started listening to them in early 95'..Man..they still Hit Hard...80s Forever Man...
Звук огонь! Благодарю автор! Знаю эту группу, ещё с 80-х, последователи Депеша вроде!?!
Some awesome beats!! Red flag will always be one of my favorite bands...
Duo
Literally just discovered this band tonight! So freakin' awesome! Like some love child of early Depeche Mode and 90's Cause & Effect. The lead singer sounds just like a young Dave Gahan. GREAT STUFF!
You mean Martin Gore, right? He def looks just like him
Red Flag predates Cause & Effect by a bit, first album released earlier, and I believe Red Flag claims to have formed in 1984. There's an interview with them in December 1988 issue of MCS Music Computers & Software magazine. (Debbie Gibson interview in same issue! 😅)
Martin Gore fool!
I'm agree it's amazing!!!!
I found this album in a record store in Tokyo back in 1994 under the "synthpop", section. One of my favourite blind buys.
よく聴かせていただいています！とても作業が捗るので、助かっています☺
Thank you for sharing. Saw them in the 80s at spring break in Galveston Texas for the first time. Have the CD and T shirt to prove it.
Beautiful album! The dance floor is shaking! Just like I’m dancing! Russian Radio! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
It is wonderful.
Synthpop Elite
Its so very Roland D50, Yamaha DX7, Roland R8, AKAI S700, and so on… But I like it! I remember when this album came out! I had all their equipment in my studio, and also a Roland Jupiter 6, a Jupiter 8, an AKAI S1000, a Yamaha CX5, an Emulator II, and an Oberheim OBXa! There was also a Sequetial Cirquits Six Track, an ELKA EK77, a Roland TR808, TR909, TR707, TR727, Roland MRC 700, a PPG Waveterm, and a CASIO CZ 1000! A massive MIDI/CV-Gate stack! A Roland syncronizer/tuner, and of course a 70:ties Vocoder!
Вспомню молодость ...
Awesome! Best songs ever!
Thanks , what a magic nite, found Red Flag, bottle of wine , joint, good vibe ------------------------ born 1975
Thank you! it's so good to know that somewhere in the world there's someone that loves real music too!
Never heard of this band before, I am digging it!!!
Red Flag. Classic.
Thanks yt
las musica de mi hermano fallecido esta cantando con los angeles en el cielo!!
Thank you! Impulse buy....black and translucent red reissue. Don't regret at all. Original CD is lost on old boxes from 30 years ago. Your copy sounded fantastic!
Oh no! I'm losing my voice singing along as loudly as possibly. Ow! LOVE IT!!!! Why didn't they make more albums? I waited so many years.
the did make lots of albums...
My favorite Red Flag group .............. a hug from Perú 🌈👍...
Привет из России
Que gran banda Red Flag. Espectacular álbum. Hermosa compañía en este año de mierda 2020
Y este 2021 k pinta igual d mierdoso jejej... Positividad alegría y a escuxar temazos no keda otra..
cerebros estupidizados de tanto regueton
Eu tive uma fita cassete gravada desse álbum. Gostava tanto de Russian Radio e Count To Three que procurei um amigo DJ pra gravar pra mim. Red Flag era uma banda muito boa, merecia ter feito mais sucesso.
Amazing! The best songs!
I love it much back my younger days .
I have the original album on cassette tape and the mixes are VERY different! I should post them. They are spectacular.
que recuerdos gran disco 😘
I listened to it then and to this day, Great music is always in fashion.
Странная непопсовая попса! И сейчас отлично слушается!
Этот стиль новая волна назывался :-)
Thank you for this. 2024 is a lot better now.
I love this album!

Love this great LP
THANKS! Better than the version at spotify
A great quality of sound from your video. It seems like if i was there.
El grupo se desintegró cuando murió el vocalista, era un grupo eatadounidense muy bueno por cierto.
Group still exists with the remaining brother doing all the stuff and it is great. See pinned message for info about new albums.
I decided to write a complete album guide (besides Naïve Art) as I was asked to recommend tracks from other albums. And I was very inspired to remember the music. It is always an adventure!
The Lighthouse album is absolutely essential, chillout work sounding something like Sade or Enigma, album with long instrumental sections that is impossible for charts and fantastic to true listeners. Highlights: Inner Sea, Shame on the Moon (MG-type ballad), Cry Me a River, My Love (oh, that synth solo is brilliant!), In My Dreams, Things We Say (12.48!).
Caveat Emptor is more dark with hints of De/Vision and Mesh. Highlights: Sundown, Hollow, Love Lacks Gravity, Cliché, Nevermind Http (quite a PSB song), Collide, Layin Low.
The Crypt already arrives to EBM area, very straightforward and industrially powerful. Highlights: Curtains, For the Dark, L.O.V.E., Goodbye (very Martin Gore-ish track, my fav), Tiktok.
The Eagle and Child is similar, but less industrial, even with new wave motives: Disarray (De/Vision-ish), Time (quite Camou), The Game (too), Synthpopalooza, Illumination, Deeper Shade of Blue (Meshy).
Fear of a Red Planet is my personal fav for space theme and this one should be listened in whole (they all should be...), it is quite depressive work. Lowlights (;-): I am the Wind, Live Fast Die Pretty, Lullaby for a Restless Girl, Mathematics of Tears (DM 83-84), Fear of a Red Planet, Coda Concerto.
Codebreaker T133 is a move to futurepop with all attributes: distorted vocals, technogenic themes. Listen: Eternal Flame, Shadow Warrior, Never Leave, Hard Times for Dreamers, Fallen Angel, Talk About the Future.
The Bitter End is the last one with both brothers, looks like they knew already. Album is a return to the sound of 90s, but much more disturbed. Also they've collected so many styles here, it reminds of many songs from all genres. Listen: A Life Worth Living, The Pyramid Song (perfect A23-type anthem!), One Plus One (reminds Joy hahaha!), The Map of Her Heart, The Bitter End (Alphaville-ish, final beauty!).
Born Again is really an album like a phoenix born from hell. So angry and darkly beautiful! Only the first words are so powerful: "You're in heaven, I'm in hell!". Darklights: Born Again, Doom & Gloom, Last Call for Love, Satin Gown, Wonderful, Twisted, Torn, Wait Here for Me.
Time is the Reaper is mostly thematically a continue of previous one, but not so angry, rather softer technogenic futurepop and danceable techno. Highlights: Halo, Once Past Twice Future, Let It Begin, Misery Loves Company (between Camou and And One), My Door is Open, Maybe This Maybe is Gone (old school 94s Red Flag), Sinister, Like a Prisoner.
Serenity is the most futuristic and smooth futurepop work with all that groundbreaking beats and mellow melodies (see Assemblage 23, Colony 5, Code 64, etc.). Some tracks are reinvented in this style. Highlights: Oxygen, Once Again, Serenity, Mockingbird, Halo, Doom & Gloom, Beyond Hereafter, Maybe This Maybe is Gone, Fadeaway, Can't Escape Forever.
Endless marks a return to very soft style of 90s Red Flag. It is more calm and thoughtful, outworldish deadly beats and hellish melodies are not here anymore. Highlights: Endless, Back to the Beginning, The Nights Eternity, Vanished, Not for Gold (personal fav), Mask, We'll Never Die. After listening this album some days ago (May 2021) I think it is quite balanced in terms of dynamics and listens very interesting in whole like a theater play, but it lacks a little in quality of sounds and effects IMO. But melodically and thematically it is very professional work.
Спасибо. Очень интересно. Беру на заметку.
@@ПетрГришин-н4н thanks for the review. Could you recommend other bands from the period with a similar sound ?
Thank You
Nada se compara ao bolachão! As mais tocadas eram Russian Rádio e Count to Three. Mas eles tinham outras músicas boas que chegam a ser melhores do que as mais tocadas, na minha opinião.
Qual pais eles são
De fato constatei isso que vc disse mesmo que banda incrível.
I'm tralslate to 80's thank's for upload this album.
Maravilloso.
Wish the rest of their albums had a a video like this.
Thank you, sounds great!
tremendo album
Heard Russian Radio at The Cage at Disney Pleasure Island. 1989 or maybe 1990. Bought the tape the next day.
Russian Radio was a HUGE success here in Brazil... my late teenage years were a bliss of good music, oh how I miss'em
Hermoso!!! ❤
Best album they did in my opinion. Say, fellow commenters. If you like Red Flag, you might want to check out Camouflage.
Give me your Hand is symphonic.
The best album they made.
Creatividad pura¡¡
Back year 1989. I almost going to deaf by hearing this music with my walkman..😅😅😅
Esos recuerdos de mi viejo quedaron marcados en estos sonidos.
this ones much better than I see/hear so far.
Sounds so cool!!! ✌️😎 👉🎹🎶🎶🎶

grand
If the intro to this album doesn't give you chills, we have absolutely nothing in common.
🙄
❤
Был на кассете Anvic когда-то такой альбом, только тут другие версии, а кассетный вариант был с более ужатыми композициями. Не могу тот самый самый найти теперь. Подогнал в 91м кореш, шизевший тогда с Депеша и And One. Шикарный альбом, короче.
Damb boi! Those synths are a thicc ass boi!
приятно вспомнить и прослушать
Ну класно же , епт .Еле нашел .
Very good quality sound 👏👏
спасиб супер!
Thanks!!! Спасибо ! !!
👌
I am not sure how you recorded the stereo. It must be lined into your computer but whatever the case, it sounds amazing. I own this cd! Underated band at the time. This album is great!
Hardware and software used are always written in description. I don't think they were underrated. Firstly they were too late, because 1989 was the last train for this kind of music and they took most of that. The bands that started in 90s like De/Vision, Mesh or Iris are almost unknown to general public. And more than that they changed direction completely, moving to darkwave and later EBM, which was a guarantee to go into oblivion. They've chosen what they like to do and not pop stuff. Russian Radio is just like Love is a Shield, a minor hit of 80's retro and they are almost at same position as Camouflage, though they are not so original.
@@vinyltogether I'm a huge Depeche Mode Fan, and I love many New Wave artist such as OMD, New Order, etc. This particular album was underrated I should say. I have thoroughly enjoyed the full listen today. Where I grew up in Louisville, KY almost no one knew about Red Flag. I didn't keep up with them after this album but listening today took me straight back to 89/90 and some great memories!
@@vinyltogether Naive Art was excellent album, but the song quality on their subsequent albums was nowhere near the same. Yes, it was a difficult time for synthpop bands as styles were changing drastically as 1990 came around. Camouflage is unique in that they changed styles in an effort to maneuver through this , but they persevered by still writing good songs here and there over time, and built up a large collection of excellent material over decades, and are still an active band. One of the Red Flag duo (who were brothers) very tragically and untimely passed away long ago, as did one of the Cause & Effect duo, so that obviously spelled the end for both bands.
@@ShallRemainUnknown thanks for your opinion. Let me not agree about the subsequent song quality. It's like square and soft, different things. They became very melancholic, dark and industrial. I absolutely love what they done after. And even after the death of brother Chris found the strength to make more works that are absolutely brilliant and groundbreaking futurepop. The latest album of 2019 Endless seems more calm and thoughtful, but it contains the same unique touch so anything would do for those, who understand them.
@@vinyltogether Well, if you have any specific track recommendations, I'm all ears...
Thx a lot
Jon StJames is a great producer! ❤
Love it..
