Brilliant! Shame it's all mimed, except for the vocals.
Especially Thomas Dolby's gratuitous use of the Roland TB-303 to supposedly trigger samples!
Given the time (1985) I'd have to say that I believe the music was pre-recorded....

Definitely, I would think that it would have been near-impossible to pull off a truly live performance like that in 1985.

But definitely worth seeing, if only for Thomas Dolby's hairdo!

I noticed that absolutely none of that kit was plugged in... Nice idea though.

I've been a synth-pop junkie ever since I started listening to music back in the early 80's. Thanks for sharing this cool link, I also find stuff from Rupert Hine, The Twins and Naked Eyes at the site. Excellent!
