It was a massive hit to extreme skiers around the world.. It was the soundtrack of one of the most epic ski movies of all time called the Blizzard of Ahhh's.
OMG, the sounds of the artists of ZTTRecords. I spent so much of my late teens and early 20s living the Colorado ski bum life. The magical movies of Greg Stump featured so many of these artists. The chords transport me to an intoxicating world of beauty, risk and thrills. My head swirls like a hot tub of nostalgia listening to this!
Un grand moment des années 80's. Claudia Brucken et Thomas Leer formaient un groupe que l'on aurait bien aimé continuer d'entendre ! J'avais acheté le maxi CD en import de Snobbery & Decay qui est un must dans une collection. Don't never forget this title
Marco Pasquali ciao. vedo ke tu sai l'inglese... io nooo... nn potresti yutubbare le scritte anche in EN, e c metto le mie due ore x tradurlo, oppure. .. mica tela sentiti 😢 di farlo.. ehm.. tu 😉?ciaooooo
+Barney Rubble This is kind of political...obviously against "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" with Robin Leach (sp?) and conspicuous consumption. As for art production values, I think the band had at least one art student as a driving force.
The "unstable economy" reference was probably a reference to the Thatcherite freeing of banking and the City of London which ended in the crash of 1987, and which set us up for the problems we have now. Quite prophetic, and a message we could have listened to.

This song has a great message. And I love that very last shot of Thomas sitting alone in a darkened corner. It kind of sums up the whole point of the song. Especially these lyrics: "Come tomorrow, the dream might blow away, Guilt and sorrow, the price you have to pay."
I was 12 y.o. when this song was released. I heard it perhaps a couple of times only. But I never forgot it. The sound of it all, is just incredible. Fascinating. It is also quite a show seeing these two perform together for this song.
This song is utterly excellent and simply perfect, a mix of clever lyrical sensibilities, pop and orchestra and a staggering production effort by Steve Lipson it is literally the whole "lexicon of love" album in 4 minutes and 34 seconds and it comes very highly recommended so have a listen!
One of the best tracks of the 80's imho. We now live in a time where technology gives music artists limitless possibilities, yet all I hear in the modern music scene are clone tracks in all genres. This was created with (albeit the top gear available at the time) nothing like the technology we have now. As the Orson Welles quote goes ... . The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.. . And as the great Alan Wilder says .. . Trevor Horn is a clever man. As for Claudia.. . Stunning woman with a great distinctive voice.
I remember watching that. It was about how the voice could be electronically manipulated. I bought the record as a result. Her album Love and a Million Other things is brilliant.

I used to work in a video store in Aspen in 1987. Maltese Flamingo, Blizzard of AAAhs, The Good , the Rad and the Gnarly, Greg Stump changed my life. Yeah, I came to this page to reactivate that nugget of my old withered brain. I can envision every cliff jump, evey carved turn or powder run. Propaganda's "A Secret Wish" too. Just play it all on loop when I am a bedridden old corpse.
Must have had my head in the sand ............................... this is the first time I have seen the Video for this single, however as with most of the ZTT releases the edited 7" version is just a fraction of the full blown (& I guess the various extended mixes that were available). I only had the 12" extended "That's entertainment" Vinyl mix, which does give this song justice (believe me), until the Anthology CD set came out when other mixes appeared - Dated now by today's standard I feel, but still gets 5 stars from me nevertheless ! Pity they don't release power packed productions like this now days
You guys should check Thomas' solo album "From Sci-fi to Barfly", it's one of the most beautiful collection of songs I've ever heard in my life, especially the #2 track "Where've you gone", his voice is so hauntingly beautiful, a modern day crooner imo.
takes me back to my youth 17 met a girl who was on holiday in berwick upon tweed name was joanne butt beautiful girl she itroduced me to this song and its been one of my top 3 songs ever since top quality yeah
Somewhere in my archive, I have a Tomorrow's World Special featuring Steve Lipson describing the production of this song. If I come across it, I will post it on TH-cam.
@carl3684 Couldn't agree with you more - this should have been a huge hit. One of those great 80s 'wall of sound' industrial humdingers with those swooping strings, angelic warblings and Claudia's occasional squalks like the cherry on a particularly rich and fattening cake. Claudia looks like she's having an absolute ball in the video - who can blame her with that hairdo and those dresses?
Luca Cusinato ... a bene tu lo dai Bee l'inglese...io NO😳.. nn potresti MICA mettere su TH-cam o le scritte (lyrics, no?).. o addirittura tradurlo tuuu? Almeno la 1a opzione... dài.. ke mi fa antidepressivo x stà renzocopia a roma...😊ciao
One if not the most underrated singles of the 80s. A true classic which deserved to be a massive hit
I agree
Yes 😁 😃 😄 😎 🍸
Indeed.
Absolutely!!!!!!! I just wanted to write the same thing - her angelic voice raises my mood and adrenaline
.😊

Still watching (and dreaming ) in 2024
Me 57yo of course 💙
One of my favorite songs of all time. Used to dance to this all night in my youth. Now in my 50s.. Reliving my youth thru music.. Its magical
Truly magical tune
Glen Plake and The Blizzard of Ahhs. Great scene to this music.
Yes Andy. Cut my teeth watching that. Still amazing now despite the age.🎉

Same here...
She got something i really like :-) and still have it today... i think i may call it glamour, class, savoir faire... whatever... i love it!
This should have been bigger, just such a marvelous sound and it doesn't age even in 2017 it knocks spots off of some of today's music.
Totally agree mate
Thomas Leer has talent to spare, Claudia Brücken has charisma to spare, for a moment they, together, were wonderful.
Sublime...fantastica...🇮🇹
Thomas e Claudia...peccato Act sia durato poco
Still watching in 2017. That whole Act album is sooooo good.
meraviglioso gioiello musicale dei anni 80

Il problema è il tempo; ci vuole pazienza a sincronizzare sottotitoli con il cantato. Ci provo però ;)
Claudia - the Penelope Keith of pop. I was flabbergasted when this came out. Loved the album then and still do.
How could anyone dislike this? Claudia has a wonderful voice
Stunning, Claudia is beautiful!
bopin elf Agreed
She´s HOT !
The videos were very good back in the 1980's. Very creative and they told a story.
I agree totally with you so please take me back to the 1980s!!!

how crappy claudias evolution such a shame
Repent of all sins in the name of Jesus Christ before it’s too late! 444prophecynews.com
Da gibts nur LIEBEN... was 'n 80er Brett !
Claudia is the best voice of the 80s ...
Yes
Not even close
C'mon, she's avesome and charming but ain't even near to Alison Moyet for exasmple as vocalist.
Nicht nur der Song ist beachtlich.
Auch das Video ist top. Und das nach über 30 Jahren ! ! !
Genau so ist es 😎😍
Love This masterpiece from the very released. Britt Pop the very best... Greetings from Sicily
They are amazing! Finally Act is on Spotify to listen too!
Thanks to Legendary ski film director Greg Stump I was introduced to ACT in the Blizzard of AAhhs
Wow I just fell in love with Claudia Brücken. Never heard of her before. I want her style ♡ She is awesome.
Claudia Brucken is a member of Propaganda too. th-cam.com/video/iV8Gl12vWDU/w-d-xo.html
search the band = Propaganda

Wow i just discovered this song ❤ so unicorns and beautiful, if only I was there at that era
I was. It was perfection

Spot on
Everytime I hear this track it makes me want to dig out "The Blizzard of AAHHH's"!
The sequence with this track in the film is epic......
Plake
trevor horn is a perfect genius. so many layers of sound.
Actually this is produced by Stephen Lipson. He also produced Propagandas A Secret Wish.
Steve Lipson
Wow , I just love this song !
Yes 😁 😃 😎 🍸
Brilliant song
She is so fantastic:)
Yes! I definitely 'second' and 'third' it that this song does have Pet Shop Boy'ish vibe to it. Love it!

Claudia
@@LP-cr7jo 👍🏻😉
@@alessettantuno :)
Amazingly accurate song many years later.
I've got this on a Tomorrow's World documentary, about hi tech music. Brilliant!
I remember watching that. It was about how the voice could be electronically manipulated. I bought the record as a result. Her album Love and a Million Other things is brilliant.
Tout est parfait. Chef-d'œuvre. J'aime Claudia.
way ahead of its time, i love Claudia's sexy happy smile
This brings me back to my teenage years...

I haven't heard this song in ages! Thanks for sharing...
THE BLIZZARD OF AHHHS - SKIED WITH GLEN PLAKE. RIDICULOUS TRACK.
Just fantastic! Love this track!

Claudia could have owned my life if she had only asked for it back in 1989! hahahaha
Georgious 1987!!! What a great TIME
Very good music. The longer remix (5:20 or something) is still better!
Congratulations, Claudia and Thomas!

Ich habe immer schon überlegt wie diese Gruppe heißt, einer der Songs,
von einer meiner ersten aufgenommenen MC.
fantastica!

It's on you tube now mate
Claudia Brücken ist nicht nur eine wunderbare Sängerin sondern auch eine sehr schöne Frau...
Genau
great song
I remember Thomas wearing glasses like don Alberto Ravagnani in the interviews. ThIs makes father Ravagnani very nice to me.
@GrahamB64 the fantastic grey drudgery of life!
This is wonderful...never heard of it or them.

Aceness all round. I still have the 7" single upstairs. Never seen the video before.
I love U Claudia!! U R a genius.
This song is more relevant than ever.
Remenber this E34 M5... best saloon in 80's!!
