I had the same feeling when I first watched it! It's a very evocative sort of song, isn't it?
I got the new Utena DVD sets Nozomi put out recently...they are AMAZING and I love them. Utena is one of my favorite series of the 90s, it was just really beautiful and thought-provoking.

I love Pet Shop Boys! And all those 80's new wave bands -- New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, OMD, Thompson Twins, The Cure, A-Ha, etc.

I love 80s music! I still have many 80s albums on vinyl, and a Bowie poster hanging above our computer, lol.danth wrote:I love Pet Shop Boys! And all those 80's new wave bands -- New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, OMD, Thompson Twins, The Cure, A-Ha, etc.

Re: Non-annoying AMVs
We've actually used quite a few songs by those artists in the "soundtrack" of our KOR fandub, actually. ;Ddanth wrote:I'd be amazed if you've ever even heard of most of those!usamimi wrote:I love 80s music!

Re: Non-annoying AMVs
Did you ever see the AMV for Project A-Ko set to Erasure's "Phantom Bride", heh, it's a one trick pony, but hysterical nonetheless. And I can say I remember each and every one of those, even saw 1 of them in concert and I do not go to many concerts. (I think I can count on one hand the number of concerts I've been to)danth wrote:I love Pet Shop Boys!

Re: Non-annoying AMVs
I just watched it. God, that is a great song. I can't believe they didn't release that as a single from the Innocence album. One of their best songs, period.
I am on an old-school anime website talking about a Project A-ko AMV featuring one of Erasure's best songs. I should be crying tears of joy. They were alway my favorite band.

Re: Non-annoying AMVs
Heh, did you appreciate Cartoon Network's "Robot Unicorn Attack", if ONLY because of the revival it brought to Erasure's "Always"? I still have "The Innocents", but I'm annoyed that I can't find "Wild!" because that was a pretty great album too, probably their second best one IMO.danth wrote:I am on an old-school anime website talking about a Project A-ko AMV featuring one of Erasure's best songs.

Re: Non-annoying AMVs
I was Googling something completely different (I can't even remember what it was), and I found this link to Youtube for an old AMV I remember having on VHS (I think in 98? 99?) that I got from someone and it totally brought back some old memories: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5-ojeEETNc
Apparently someone still had it on VHS and ripped/uploaded to their Youtube, so it wasn't uploaded by the original creator. It's not THE BEST AMV, but for how old it is, I was surprised it still held up fairly well after not having seen it in ages.

Yes, I bought RUA because of Always.

I always liked Wonderland and The Circus better than Wild. Hell, I probably like Chorus and I Say I Say I Say better than Wild. Probably because I never heard any of the Wild songs on the radio, ever. I don't really like anything they made after I Say I Say I Say.
