Pure creativity amazing sounds and visuals way ahead of their time they turned it into an art form this is way more than just a song its an experience to just watch and listen its nothing like the music of today it's hard to believe this was achieved in the early 80s when you watch footage from this particular era it looks very dated but this is pure class on many levels...
"The screenplay calls a message for the nation, and those who sneer will fade and die, and those who laugh will surely fall, and those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall" Absolutely brilliant! Love you guys!
Love it. So stylish. I often think the background extras in Ultravox videos had to put up with quite a lot - buried in sand and rocks, marching uphill in the driving rain, made to hold burning newspapers, etc. I hope the catering was good!
Quite "Enjoyed" this, & 'appeciate the lyrics in days as these. 'Love ULTRAVOX, M. URE, & this video. Thank U. Ofcourse also thanking Chris Cross, Warren Cann, Billy Curry, & Migde Ure!😊😄😘😎
The only difference that I can see between the original video and this one, is the original was in colour. As to the difference between the tracks... still not sure that I can say for certain, the new mix perhaps sounds slightly ‘crisper’ but otherwise there’s not a lot in it.
As for the song, no difference. This is the 2008 remastering of the original stereo mix for the 7" single edit of the song. Pay no attention to the "Steven Wilson" part of the video's title. He did not do a new remix of the shortened single edit (which this is), only the longer ALBUM version of the song. As for the video, yeah... the only difference is that the color information has been removed. Not sure why they felt the need to make a new B&W version of the video using the same exact music.
I have to wonder why they've titled this video as being the "Steven Wilson Single Mix" of the song, when there is no such thing, as far as I know. Wilson produced new stereo and 5.1 surround remixes of the album version of the song, but not the shortened edit produced for the 7" single (which this is). For that, we just have the original stereo masters. Very odd.
Well, you happen to be listening to the 2008 remastering of the original stereo mix of the 7" single edit. This is not a Steven Wilson mix, despite this video's title. Wilson only produced new stereo and 5.1 surround remixes from the original multi-track recordings of the ALBUM version of the song.
LYRICS: The sound is on the visions move The image dance starts once again They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation Just living lines from books we've read With atmospheres of days gone by With paper smiles The screenplay calls a message for the nation And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall Grey men who speak of victory Shed light upon their stolen life They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music To step in time and play the part With velvet voices smooth and cold Their power games a game no more And long the chance to use it And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall And those who dance will spin and turn And those who wait will wait no more And those talk will hear the word And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall The thin wall The thin wall The thin wall The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who talk The thin wall And those who sneer The thin wall And those who laugh The thin wall And those who know The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who wait The thin wall And those who talk
intersting mix, not as direct and compelling as the original, but i grasp what SW is trying to accomplish, good effort, nice spectrum, still lacking the original CP force.

This takes me right back to the 1980's and still as good today.
Me too 😊👍

The Vienna shoot had them all getting drunk and partying for real
One of the best music videos I’ve seen and the song is very futuristic❤
Love Ultravox... always will and this track has so many background influences from Kraftwerk.. Brilliant 40 years on..❤

😂
I’m lost here , can someone explain too me the difference between this version and the original 1981 release of the thin wall song and video ?

Just got the Steven Wilson remix of Rage In Eden ... Stuuuunnnning! Even better than Vienna remix. Well done!
Que Grandes. Inigualables. 👍👍👍
So he did mix the 7" version as well. Makes me wonder why they haven't included it in the box set.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍👍👍👍
❤️
This song is aktually
Polisch fan,s like,d a Group Ultravox

I’ll take the original mix over this version. But thx for trying 👍🏻

Why is the video presented in black and white?
Is there a colour version?
@@ajs41 Yes.
LYRICS:
The sound is on the visions move
The image dance starts once again
They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation
Just living lines from books we've read
With atmospheres of days gone by
With paper smiles
The screenplay calls a message for the nation
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall
Thin wall
Grey men who speak of victory
Shed light upon their stolen life
They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music
To step in time and play the part
With velvet voices smooth and cold
Their power games a game no more
And long the chance to use it
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall
Thin wall
And those who dance will spin and turn
And those who wait will wait no more
And those talk will hear the word
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall
Thin wall
The thin wall
The thin wall
The thin wall
The thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who talk
The thin wall
And those who sneer
The thin wall
And those who laugh
The thin wall
And those who know
The thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who wait
The thin wall
And those who talk

The bass is better. But it does not have the same punch in the mids.
Very trying indeed. Effort but don't mess with The Conny
Замечательный ролик, я был тогда подростком
Prefer the original mix by Conny. Vocals now inaudible in outro ffs
Memories
Of how much they regressed without John Foxx
