Electronic was, by far, the most successful of the "side-projects" by these artists. A "super-group"of sorts: Bernard Sumner of New Order and Joy Division, Neil Tennant of The Pet Shop Boys and Johnny Marr of The Smiths. There debut album is one of the most complete release from this time, truly a great act...
When UK inspired me enough to go to London, but UK music pretty much ended around this time. Bernard's phrasing is top flight. Both these guys were real singers, unlike what we have today for male vocalists.
2 back to back shows at Dodger Stadium. August 4th and 5th. I saw them on the 5th, my birthday, and Nitzer Ebb performed along with Electronic and Depeche Mode!
@MarioMartinezwonderpunter Love and Rockets were great too.. Daniel ash was in leather shorts as I remember.. show was wild.. it was their motorcycle era..so great...
@@affectionatepunch Bearing in mins it came out in 1989, my cousin still has the CD single + you can view them doing it on Top of the Pops in 1989 on TH-cam!
This one was 1989 and then it crossed into 1990 by the fact it was in the charts over christmas that year. Sheer genius. Shame Tennant only collaborated on two tracks, this and Dissapointed.
I'm from Brazil and the three original bands of these musicians are loved here, by people who enjoy good music. And their project was also very successful here. What a beautiful melody... If I can, I'll listen to this song all day long. Three icons of 80s music. Meeting of the titans. Everything perfect, both the vocals and the instrumental part of the song.
It was 1990 and I was wearing too much denim, riding in the back seat through winding Virginia mountains on a rainy day listening to this cassette on my Walkman staring out the window. I remember it because it was a definite moment in time and I had the whole future ahead of me. I loved this little project band. I bought this tape not knowing immediately how much it would mean to me.
Every clip of Neil Tennant I ever see from this era (87-89) makes him, for me to be some sort of effing genius - Left to My Own Devices is astonishing for a start, but the Dusty stuff, the Liza stuff, it's all so brilliant
Losing My Mind is an amazing song and PSB had a purple patch of fantastic tracks from 1985 to 1990 approximately. While I keep an open mind to anything they release I have been surprised by the diminution of the quality over the years since, especially as a lot of their peers are still producing excellent music long after their commercial and artistic peak in the eighties and nineties as applicable. I think their reputation was so strong based on their earlier music for the first few years that the media has tended to give them a free pass for a lot of very ordinary music in the last twenty years. Favourites from the eighties for me include Surburbia, Rent, West End Girls and Always On My Mind. Persuading Dusty Springfield to come out of retirement for What Have I Done To Deserve This? was inspired and it is a great tune, vocal performance by them and her and effective video.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Odd that you should type this as I share your view completely - My relationship with PSB ends firmly with Was It Worth It, which I enjoyed, but it was the last one. I remember Can You Forgive Her? in 94, and thinking "Christ this is by the numbers" - and then Go West appeared...... - oh COME ON
@@eightiesmusic1984 Sorry to revive this, but it might be the production element of it - 90s PSB was a bit shiny and "perfect" while 80s PSB wasn't - it comes with the advance of technology I expect, but advances are not always to the favour of those involved or to those listening, for that matter.
This musical gem turns 33 years old this December 2022, and it seems like yesterday that I heard it for the first time, nostalgia and fond memories of 1989 and the 80s.
I'm studying French and as always, I put music on the background. This song comes out and I'm like "Wow, I completely forgot about this gem of a song!!", then, I just stop studying and start remembering stuff while repeating the song over and over again. I know you music lovers know what I'm talking about... love you all, love you TH-cam!!!
Increíble temazo de 3 de los componentes más influenciables de toda UK. Bernard (Joy-New) Neil (Pet,una de las mejores voces Uk) y Johhy de The Smiths. Es imposible q saliera algo mal aquí!
This is one the best and classic albuns of the 80's... Johny Marr, Benard Sumner and Neil Tennant... they are very young here. Just one album (Eletronic). Regards from Brazil.
"I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless" ? Annoyingly, around this time I worked with two different Guys who thought they were God's gift to women and that any rejection was the girls loss.
This is like one of those dreams where you wish all your favourite musicians would get together and then you wake up and it's bloody real. I mean it's just bloody real! 👏👏
Totally welcome 'Electronic' …Their amazing success is well deserved…Let's just hope they were gracious enough to welcome Scritti Politti along with them…
A brief reminder: Electronic were a band formed by Bernard Sumner, John Marr and featured Neil Tennant in a few songs. I have no idea if today the music industry could assemble a formation with the talents of Joy Division / New Order, The Smiths and featuring Pet Shop Boys. Back then we were so happy, and never realized that.
New Order is one of my favourite bands. "I been talkin´to myself, just to suggest that I´m selfish" my favourite line in the song. So 80´s, all my life...
Splendid presentation, EO👍 Looks really wonderful, always glad to be a part of your team! Thanks for the visit! Really much appreciated! Have a great Tuesday 🥰 More power to your channel Friend!
Beautiful ...song and video. What talent.... Takes me back to the days when Bernard was so handsome and life and music were interesting and fun. Proud Mancunian / Salfordian..
NEW ORDER & PET SHOP BOYS DUAS GRANDES BANDAS !!! SE UNIRAM PARA COMPOR ESSA LINDA MÚSICA. !!! JUNTOS. !!! JUNTOU O útil AO AGRADÁVEL !!! PARABÉNS 👏👏 👌
Such a great track and beautiful music video. It was directed by Chris Marker, the French filmmaker and artist whose work includes La Jetée and Sans Soleil.
the CD Electronic is is great ...this track is not on Electronic Album ... but the import on maxi CD is just beautiful ... but this track always makes me stop and listen ,even at work ...this tune deserves to be "listened" to
There is no way in the world to express just how wonderful and meaningful this song is to me. It will forever be my favorite. Never ever getting tired of this. MAGIC!

don't forget Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk!
One of my favorite CDs ever!
Don't forget Peter Hook's band Monaco. Fantastic debut album too.
But each of their band's work triumphs over anything Electronic did I must say
I love you more than you love me…awesome phrase😊👍✨I came back here again tonight😊🎉❤
We’ve all been there 💪😓
When UK inspired me enough to go to London, but UK music pretty much ended around this time. Bernard's phrasing is top flight. Both these guys were real singers, unlike what we have today for male vocalists.
lol, even Bernard doesn't consider himself a real singer, have you ever heard him live?
Who is still listening to this masterpiece in 2024 after covid, social media, the death of good pop music and the world heading for a fall?
Me 72 now
Me too. From Florida USA
@@overheadsurf I’m England 🏴 seeing Pet shop boys in June and then July . Simply the best ever 😊
💜💜💜
Yep sure are
Pop perfection an eighties masterpiece
They are so young here. 😢 I guess I will never get used to the fact that we all age and die... The 1989 what a time to be alive.
You know it’s a super band collection when you have Neil Tennant as back vocal.
Neil was 35, Barney 33 and Johnny 26 when this was filmed. 68,66 & 59 respectively now.
Neil was the latest starter but ironically the most successful although the least talented.
Talent never leaves you, at any age, 23/36 to the day you shuffle off this earth.
Neil Tennant vocals 🔥🔥🔥
I mean, this is a generational great song, but that’s because of Neil’s backing vocals. So iconic.
@@mattb5370bro both are great, period.
Their vocal styles compliment each other perfectly.
Iconic voice, and truly unique, love him.
1000 percent made the song
Saw them open for Depeche Mode at Dodger Stadium 1990 complete with Neil Tenant!! Oh what a fabulous show!
🫧🩵👈
Same! DM’s “Violator” tour. Love and Rockets was also on stage that night. Awesome show!

@@richjohns8283why? Does the concept of someone listening to a tape in a car in 1990 sound too implausible to you?
Why not 1989 when it was released?

Devices Disco Mix is well worth a play
Even though there are others involved there's a seriously strong Pet Shop Boys vibe to this tune.
A formula for perfection.

Musica maravillosa me trae hermosos momentos y recuerdos
Concordo.
Real Music, Played Live, by Real Artists.
I love how simple and beautiful song is.
damn..Manchester England was pumping out the talent back in the day lol
The factory was churning em out
The Madchester sound and the Hacienda club had all these types of acts. Brilliant time musically to live.
@@jimbo6059 Been there, done that and got a t-shirt.....the Hac....best club ever.......

I hope not.
Cant believe its not at a million views.... im responsible forat least 80thousand....
🤣
it's at a million now!
Wow when music was amazing and I was younger. We were so lucky.
Still blasting this album in 2021... still one of my fav albums of all time!!!
try 2022
it's a great one. among the greatest.
and this tune still slaps all these years later.

Still a masterpiece
Quanto talento reunidos juntos
Esse som tem uma vibe excelente. Essa geração de hj nunca vai entender o que é musica de verdade.
*Personnel:*
Bernard Sumner - vocals, keyboards, co-writer, co-producer
Johnny Marr - guitar, co-writer, co-producer
Neil Tennant, vocals, co-writer, co-producer
Chris Lowe - keyboards (bass)
David Palmer - programming (drums)
Anne Dudley - string arrangements and conductor
I didn't know they were all in this group!!!!
@@richposports7030 Electronic was just Sumner and Marr. For this song they were joined by PSB, Palmer and Dudley.
Three extremely talented artists in the one band. Timeless music and love all 3!
Plus some credited (and uncredited) magic from Chris Lowe. He wrote/played the bass line on this track, for instance.
Simply one of the best albums every recorded.
Johnny Marr, one of the best
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was 15 years old and I totally fell in love with this masterpiece ❤
Um encontro de gênios da música! Já era fã dos 3 nesta época, que tinha meus 20 aninhos... Uma obra prima!
Nossaa 3u tamben fan incondicional dos 3
I wish Electronic had been more active, more prolific. One of the best "groups" of that time.
Imagine having Neil Tennant as backup, it's like having Elvis Presley
No it's not. whatever you where trying to write.
@@Mounutt Yes it is. Fook off.
That's a massive insult to Elvis. lmao
Nice thought but wouldn't go that far!
Neil could compose a song and write lyrics unlike Elvis.
This is one reason to live in a time capsule, Young, Thin, Full heads of hair, At their peak, As we all want to remain!
Happy 30th anniversary, "Electronic" debut album!
the 3 missing pieces find each other ...such a lovely tune
Quite the most beautiful song :-) A story of me and a girl I once loved, still do & always will..
Some songs/tracks/compositions/symphonies whatever you want to call them are timeless, this is one of them.
Definition of a classic.
Hasta haciendo segunda voz, Neil Tennant le levanta el nivel a cualquier tema , como ha hecho con varios artistas.
Una voz inconfundible 👌👏👏👏👏
I'm studying French and as always, I put music on the background. This song comes out and I'm like "Wow, I completely forgot about this gem of a song!!", then, I just stop studying and start remembering stuff while repeating the song over and over again.

Thank you Mum for being the reason for me being a Teen in the 80’s🙏 Best Music,Best Decade STILL!!🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
This trio was like a wet dream coming true. Three legends getting together to produce a masterpiece.
Neil's voice is off of this world !
There is no way to disguise Bernard's voice. New Order Plus.
It's really bad, but it works
He started singing much better at the time of Technique.... Not long before Electronic...

Getting Away With It
By Electronic
I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life
(Getting away)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it ... all my life
(Getting away)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
More than you love me
I thought I gave up falling in love a long long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true ... all my life
Yes, it's been true ... all my life
I've been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish (Getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed (I should do what he said)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
