The songs were made in 81. Heard this first and fell in love with this in the mid-90s. Somebody uploaded this video in 2008 - and it took me until 2022 to come across it. Time is a jester... I fell back in love with these songs.
I was trying to see what Roland that was; it appears to be a Promars. I was able to identify the synth above it as an Oberheim OB-1. The synth used as a vocoder is a Korg VC-10. Looks like there was an MS-20 also? I have no way of telling what the one below those are… nice minimal new wave. Love it… anyone know if their stuff wound up on CD.
this is totally rad and im way glad i stumbled across it! lot of people in the comments are comparing the singer to dave gahan or marc almond... i actually think he looks alot like dana carvey from SNL. also... he looks like the only one having any fun. i think that might have been a rule or formula with synth-pop bands in the early 80s. like, the lead singer has to be overly animated, and the rest of the band has to be very static/emotionless and look almost bored....
I have actually been thinking about upping one or two other clips to promote Francis' talent as a musical entertainer a bit more, but I dropped that idea... I'll send you a message.

Molto nelle corde di Camerini
Starter und Fraktus waren in den 80er meine Lieblingsbands.
Saludos desde Perú.
to be young again. but not in this day.
Youth is in the soul
one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed.
This is perhaps the most "New Wave" thing ever.
THATS FRANCOIS MY DEAR FRENDS IT IS A SWISS BAND .......................VERY PROGRESSIV AND INIVATIVE AT THE TIME ! 👍👍👍👍
French speaking Switzerland
This is everything-all music should be like this ❤️
No.
2:10 speaking in german
Fand ich sehr geil 👌👌
the playing of the synths is fantastic, it really looks like live.
Sparks vibes!
C'est excellent ! Y'a pas de mots pour dire combien c'est jouissif ! J'adore son petit côté Marc Almond excité
Ich habe 1982 Starter als Vorgruppe von Fraktus gesehen .Hat echt gefetzt.
Häh?
Fraktus haben sich doch 80 aufgelöst!?
@@holgerminte9235 nee das waren Joy Division

For the first few seconds I thought this was Sparks.
Kraftwerk motionless
Se parece a Marc Almond, sube más videos🎹 new Wave 🎶de esos años👍🏻
I love the title of the group, "Starter".
He's looks like cosplay of Russell Mael from Sparks.
I was dancing then like this young singer.I was so young then sic sic sic!!!!!
Gotta love them!
:))
Brilliant.
Шедевр
Have The Album, Great New Wave Band.
Somewhere there is a saxophone waiting to be heard

they ended lunapark realy akward. i love this video
c'est assez improbable !!!
You should check the video response: Victim is a very cool italo disco track and the dance performance of Francis is a real must see ^^
His hair looks a lot like Dave Gahan's did in 1981!
Are you Dinosaur ?
The lead singer reminds me of Marc Almond from Soft Cell.
I think you mistakes for spark
Marc Almond is a douchebag, this guy much better
The lyrics of the second song are so hilarious xD
Can you translate pls ?

I'm alone in my room, the water flows from the tap
I feel uncomfortable on this fucking chair
I look around me, there's nothing but not you
I want to die, I'm looking for your smile
I begin to read, but it's even worse
I run to the dream land, a little puppy in my hand
Little pink dolls alert, it's always the same thing
Something's got to happen, it bothers me so much
Mini-skirts and pantyhose,
And the hair to the four winds (x2) ( idiomatic french expression, means to go everywhere)
What am I doing here ?
I come with you
I wake up suddenly,
This drives me totally insane
This was a dream again
I think I'm dying
I lost all hope
Because all is dark
The phone ring
But there's no one
Mini-skirts and pantyhose,
And the hair to the four winds
What am I doing here ?
I come with you
(sounds much more silly in french, I dunno why)
@@Alix777. thanx)
You are Dinosaur
@@Alix777. french lyrics?
SynthLove 💋🎹💜🌠🎛🤖
Gary Oldman rocks!!
@Drvanbreak The lady's name is Claudine Chirac, and I don't think she is a lesbian, just could be the headband thing
I think it's 80's androgyny style, perhaps.
She looks shy
Looks like the first Jim Kerr
80s
awesome band!what's the name of singer..?

Francis Foss
