  • 1985 Images by Tom Ellard and Stephen Jones, music by Ellard, extended mix by Boxcar in 1994.
    You may also like the new 2017 video, which strangely enough has the old music from 1985. I know that's weird but hey, art.

    Tom Ellard... didn't just pioneer ...or pave the way. He created the yellow brick road... for so many artists to follow. for my money... one of the biggest pioneers of electronic music EVER !!!!!

    One day in 1985 Tom Ellard came into my studio at Heuristic Video for a day of editing. He had a reel of video that he had shot around Sydney (probably mostly at Luna Park) and we assembled the video using lots of luminance keying to put the layers together. Colourising some of it, cutting for the melody rather than the rhythm. Bismillah: In the name of the one. (This version is slightly different from the 1985 version with a few extra visual ideas added by Tom.)

    This is wonderful music that has stood the test of time. I remember first seeing Severed Heads cassettes appear in independent record stores in Sydney in the early 80s or just before. Photocopied covers. "Terse Tapes". I had a few. The imagery lent towards punked up electro surrealism. it was cool and the antithesis of the sweaty pub rock band that dominated music in Australia at the time. While there were a small number of electronic artists playing in Sydney and Melbourne none had the drive Mr Ellard had to make his art. And its not as if he was following some great Aussie tradition of creating challenging and fun experimental music using computers, found sounds and amazing graphics. He deserves great credit for being an incredible creative artist.

      I like not listening to Severed Heads for a couple months, to then come back to then and appreciate them even more. Really appreciate Tom's approach to art and the fact that he seems so open and down to earth about it as well. Makes it even more human and multi-dimensional then in a sense

  • @tq2769

    This has been one of my all-time favorite songs since I bought the Dead Eyes Opened Nettwerk vinyl in the 80s. I didn't know about this version and the fact that this video also contains the Zipper just makes it all the more incredible. Anyway, this version is blowing my mind. Most underrated electronic music bands ever? I think so.
