DYE - “Fantasy”

“Directed by animation wunderkind Jérémie Périn, the video tells the story of a group of highschool kids ready for teenage mischief. They break into the local swimming pool intending a session of innocent nightswimming, in an awkward climate of romance and apprehension. What happens next is for you to discover here. NSFW”

Class Actress - “Weekend”

I pace the room every time you leave
Fall apart because you’re all I need
You make me late for work,
You make me late for church
So hold to me

So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend
So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend
I pace the room every time you leave
What am I ever gonna do?
To make easy on me,
We’ll see the sun
You’re one only one
Can make it so hard on me
So hard, so hard on me, so hard

So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend
So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend

Why you gotta make it so hard on me X 5
So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend
So bring it on, bring on the weekend
Bring it on, bring on the weekend X 3

“Synth Britannia” (01:27:50)

Synth Britannia is a documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage.

In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and JG Ballard and dreamt of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.

The crossover moment came in 1979 when Gary Numan’s appearance on Top of the Pops with Tubeway Army’s Are Friends Electric heralded the arrival of synthpop. Four lads from Basildon known as Depeche Mode would come to own the new sound whilst post-punk bands like Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo took the synth out of the pages of the NME and onto the front page of Smash Hits.

By 1983, acts like Pet Shop Boys and New Order were showing that the future of electronic music would lie in dance music.

Contributors include Philip Oakey, Vince Clarke, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Gary Numan and Neil Tennant.
