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.
@@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 RUclips!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 RUclips!!!
"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.
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.
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.
Totally welcome 'Electronic' …Their amazing success is well deserved…Let's just hope they were gracious enough to welcome Scritti Politti along with them…

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
Just a beautiful song. The strings arrangement...perfection.
I love you more than you love me…awesome phrase😊👍✨I came back here again tonight😊🎉❤
We’ve all been there 💪😓
Fell off my scooter, dragged myself into the pub, someone hands me a beer and the tones hit me.

Chris Lowe was also apart of the songs with Neil as well.
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
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?
You know it’s a super band collection when you have Neil Tennant as back vocal.
This band is nothing without Niel Tennent
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.
Cant believe its not at a million views.... im responsible forat least 80thousand....

it's at a million now!

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.

Even though there are others involved there's a seriously strong Pet Shop Boys vibe to this tune.
The 80's weren't another time. They were another world!

True story!
Decades are a conspiracy if dunces
One of best colabs ever
Most definitely 👍
I would definitely agree. 😀😀
@@richardfeatherstone2975 ft
Do you mean Sumner and Marr or Electronic and Tennant?
Total agree
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!

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
If your still listening to this song in 2022 then you are fucking awesome.....
2025 ❤
A formula for perfection.
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.

Another page from the book of things that never happened
@@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?
@@mikekaraokeIn the US, this song didn’t hit the singles chart until early in 1990. Same with radio airplay.

Concordo.
I love how simple and beautiful song is.
Superb band superb songs and Neil Tennant looking so young and now he is 70 years old!
Where has the time gone?
I would go back in a heartbeat 💓
I once listened to this song on a bridge in the rain on Christmas day with a MacDonald's for company. It was my best Christmas!
I hope not.
The most criminally underrated song of all time
A beautiful time to be alive & young ✊
Yes, I was 15 years old when this song was a succes in my country, Chile southamerica. Now I'm 47, AND I still enjoy AND listen to this perfect song.
Hearing it again is like meeting an old friend. It makes me smile.

Devices Disco Mix is well worth a play
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...

try 2022
it's a great one. among the greatest.
and this tune still slaps all these years later.

Tremendous album was always on repeat back on release
@@thisdrinkinglifetry 23
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.
MASTERPIECE.
Especially Anne Dudley's strings.
Wow when music was amazing and I was younger. We were so lucky.
Amazing talent, base, techno, vocals… My god the Brits are the best at music!
Americans were good, too, but Yes! Thank God for British music.
worst at food tho.
@@Andrew_EricksonI was in the UK and Scotland this past April and the food (every meal) was horrible🤢.
CORRECT
We are definitely up there.🏴🇬🇧
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.
I'm from Brazil and I love this sound, I was 16 years old, and the 80s were my happiness
Johnny's live versions of this song are killer
Thank U!
TRUE THE SOLO MAKES ME CRY
Where would you find a live version?
I kinda like it more than the original version tbh
Está musica e uma obra de arte , que vocal e que melodia uma maravilha chega ser emocionante.
Miss you all coz I love this passionately. Thankyou gents. X
Such a good song!
Bernard Sumner is gorgeous : )
I'll take the young Marr and Tennant. 🥰
@@markg6860 ok 👍 So Bernard is mine💟
all of them are tbh 🤭🤭
So so beautiful 😍😍
Simply one of the best albums every recorded.
If the 80s was yor decade, this was the ultimate super group. Still listening at 55 in 2024
Happy 30th anniversary, "Electronic" debut album!
remember the allied curtains hairstyles from this era...lol
I wish Electronic had been more active, more prolific. One of the best "groups" of that time.
The vocals are incredible...pretty much anything Johnny Marr touches turns to gold.
such a young gun and a master at craft
Absolutely.
He's way out of tune. Thank God for Tennant.
@@xsonoshee8120 Comment I was looking for. He rarely found the right notes.
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!

Such a brilliant song made by geniuses
Quanto talento reunidos juntos
Esse som tem uma vibe excelente. Essa geração de hj nunca vai entender o que é musica de verdade.
How lovely Bernard and Neil sound and what a beautiful guitar accompaniment from Johnny. Fabulous !
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..
A well crafted and executed timeless classic
Simply brilliant
This was a staple on WFNX Boston 101.7 before everything music wise circled the drain
Beautiful song and effort, timeless classic.

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.
This trio was like a wet dream coming true. Three legends getting together to produce a masterpiece.

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.
Aww, the moment near the end when Bernard needs to wipe a tear from his eye, beautiful song.
When you ear a background orchestra means that we are talking about a great song,eighties best ever
Such an amazing band and collaboration...great results...!!!
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was 15 years old and I totally fell in love with this masterpiece ❤
Neil on turtleneck ❤️❤️❤️
I love how Neil made the decision out the 3.
Would b a SUPERGROUP nowadays
Outstanding from 89,Neil Tennant.And Barnard Summer.
Just found this gem... brilliant song/collaboration!
