Such a great song! Classic late-80s.

Love your reactions! This song is one of the best from the 80's. Used to go to the clubs and dance to this all the time.

No, they had several big hits and they had awesome club mixes! I love Information Society! I saw them live at a Dance Club many years ago. Other great songs by them: Walking Away, Running, Think, Peace & Love Inc. Oh, do more Duran Duran please? They are celebrating their 40th Anniversary with a new album. Duran Duran songs: Ordinary World, Planet Earth, Rio, Wild Boys, Notorious, Out of my Mind, Come Undone, Save a Prayer. From their newer songs: Invisible, Anniversary, Pressure Off, Universe Alone, The Man who stole a Leopard... ❤

Love your reaction! Information Society was fun to dance to. Thanks for keeping an open mind and not judging the 80s/early 90s as "strange" or "weird."

This song is amazing! Loved how it affected you - it's a banger for sure.

I absolutely love this song !!! Thank you for reviewing :)

One of the best club hits ever...

Information Society are awesome!!! They shaped my teenage years! I wanted to be like Kurt and tried to imitate how he dressed… LOL!

I love the 80s. We had groups with songs like this that had a fresh new sound and a bold vibe that took us by surprise. The Dream Academy Life in a Northern Town is another example. Enya Orinoco Flow. It was a good time for music and thank you MTV😘

Yeah. Life in a northern town.

“Peace and love inc.” is also a great dance song by Information Society.

I love this Music.

So good.

@ 6:14 the dance floor was dark and the strobes started flashing! Awesomeness! Brings back great memories!

Nice to see Information Society finally come to the channel. Great music.

A very unique tune, and it was a BIG dance hit from the 80s. One of my 80s favorites.

I'm an 80's girl. Loved Information Society. I think you'll love their whole debut album. Walking Away is another great tune too.

It´s like a mash-up of the Human League and The Thompson Twins!!!

80's club music. Can't.listen without moving. Loooove it.

It sounds a bit like "Obsession" by Animotion from 1984, you should also check that one out.

They do sound a bit similar. I now humming on that music... 😂 weird... I'm wondering if some DJ could blend those songs together to hear how they sound... you think?

Love this song ❤️

Great dance song in the 80's at the clubs!

I got to see Information Society before this Song became popular when they had a hit called "Running" in the 80's in Latin Freestyle radio markets like NYC, Miami, & LA. They were playing at a Teen club and they were using Ironing boards as their keyboard stands! A very under rated band.

They were massive massive in Brazil and had another three hits there( Repetition, Think and Running ). I remember that they had another album recorded to the South America following as they weren’t very popular in USA or Europe. They have a song called Peace and Love Inc. which is very good!!

Jaja your facial reactions are the feels i always get when this jam comes on great reactions my guy just subscribed i love 80s music

DUDE I FING LOVE THIS SONG. The electric/synth pop whatever in this song is such an electric and contagious vibe. It’s FING Fun

Ahh InSoc! Such great dance beats and samples in their songs (especially Leonard Nimoy as Spock saying the title)! I remember seeing the lead singer's Mad Max style car driving down the road in MPLS/ St Paul a few times back in the late 80's/ early-90's.....

We had the best music in the 80's. I danced every weekend in the clubs

Ooh, I had forgotten about this one! Awesome to hear it again.

Mirror shades…such a great song

It's amazing what was as a child that young adults today. Harmony kills it. Can't have it without unity.

This lives rent free in a dusty corner of my mind and I'll randomly remember it. It was played quite a bit in my childhood, but I never knew the name until around 3 years ago and it BOTHERED ME. The only reason I figured out what the name was, was because my KZread Music algorithm spat it at me at random while I was at work. I was absolutely delighted.

I had to go searching for details on this one as I've never heard it before. It charted at 81 in the UK which explains that. It reminded me of 'Obsession' by Animotion at first and then of Human League. The lead singer sounds a lot like Phil Oakey.

InSoc didn’t seem to do well here in the UK. I doubt many Brits have heard of them. But, yes, they are very Human League like. Mixed with a dash of Art of Noise with the use of samples.

This was HUGE in the very early 90's. We blasted it in my little car with my two Fosgate 18" subs. GREAT TIMES!

Amazing BAND INFORMATION SOCIETY

I think this sounds highly unusual for a US 80s pop song in regards to mood/instrumentation; sounds very "European". I love it

I remember back in the day that the underlying message IMO, of this song was about Cold War tensions, “PURE ENERGY” …”DESTRUCTION”… was about the possibility of nuclear war, and that one side didn’t know what the other was thinking…. Just my take on it. Great song and awesome review!!

Have you had a chance to check out Howard Jones yet? I hear little similarities between the voices of Kurt from Information Society and Jones. Standout Howard Jones songs include "What is Love?", "No One Is To Blame", "Things Can Only Get Better", and "Everlasting Love".

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE more Information Society- I would love to see you react to any of their song- Running, Walking Away, How Long, Think, Peace & Love inc, Are Friends Electric (Gary Numan cover) They have limited videos but seeing what you react to I think you will really like them. BTW Love the reactions to the 80's Synth pop everything, the more obscure the better! How about some Adam Ant?

Same here. Huge fan of also Adam and the Ants...

I agree with Mari down below. The same album has "Walking Away", Repetition, then their very first Single "Running" that got them popular Before this Self Title album then their "HACK" album had "How Long", "Think" which they have many more Hits, but "Still Here", and more were on their 1st 3 albums. I could go on, but the last Single INSOC put out was "I Like The Way You Werk It" which is Correctly spelled. PLEASE CHECK OUT ANY OF THOSE "INSOC" SONGS. 😎 👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿🇺🇲🤘🏿🤘🏾🤘🏽

Feel like I’m the only British fan of theirs. Discovered them by just looking through all the American bands in the 80s because so much of our British stuff dominated the charts, I wanted to find an American synth-pop band to listen to, and by doing this, I found these guys. Their output especially from this album definitely feels influenced by our British synth-pop (I get both Pet Shop Boys and New Order vibes from them). Good tune! I also recommend the tracks Repetition and Running from the same album if you can find them!

Or try this one out: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_new_wave_musical_groups When i was a kid in the early 80s, i listen to college music ( that's what they call it back in those days of new wave music ) and the station 93.7 WLIR ( also WDRE ) in Long Island, NY, is what i listen to at that time. Most of it were British new wave, punk rock, progressive, synthpop, experimental, whatever music they could bring up. Few from Germany or Sweden or Australia. American, on the other hand, were not much. Few were one hit wonders like Animotion, Ebn Ozn, Book of Love, The Knack, Romeo Void and so on. Few of them broke up very early while some still continue, like Information Society. ( Yeah, they got more albums than three ) So the link above should be enough.

I agree. They sound very European/British; highly unusual for a US band.

Ah, Information Society, now we're talking! Your patreon be blessed, who makes you enter the depths of 80s new wave! I suggest you try "Running" by the same band: kzread.info/dash/bejne/daaIrLRmg6vMo6w.html

I'm a big InSoc fan, but this song is such an underrated track. The whole thing slaps from start to finish. It's one of my karaoke go-tos, as well.

Music is a lifelong education you never graduate from. This is why: the pure enjoyment of listening to something true and moving, in so many ways...

They got an extended catalog of club and dance hits. Also the are the only band to have permission to used Star Trek samples

Once I read that Paramout almost process the band, but the son of Leonard Nimoy asked to not do this, because he was a fan of the InSoc.

These guys were incredibly fun and had a lot of great songs. I would suggest you check out Walking Away, Think, and Peace and Love Incorporated.

This song came as a demo on sega CD lol

one of the best synth pop songs in history and the forceful response of the USA to the British power in this genre

finally man 🤟🏻😎 your great!

For the time this was good this is your music

No. Information Society is not a one hit wonder act. This song and their follow-up song, Walking Away both were Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the late fall of 1988.

I van see here the colors of the first hit of Faith no more " We care a lot" (hahahaaaa) and first times of fusion music. FNM - "we care a lot!!!!"

Ur reaction won my subscription. Guck yeah listen to this drums and synth

Leonard Nimoy (Spock) is the one who says "Pure Energy"

LOVE!

tks 80 s

You love the beats at 3:11. Wait for the long version of this my man. I’m 48 and every time I’m playing this song I’m dancing like was 16 the first time I heard it. But I was 19. Lol

WOW, this is fantastic. Kind of reminds me of Duran Duran, but this is good.

Information society e foda mesmo mano se tá loco fez muito sucesso aqui no Brasil.

Walking away was their second hit

You must check “Think” and “Peace and love Inc.”

80’s was the best era.

Walking Away is another good one from the same album.

Please react to the band call ORGY "blue monday " or " stitches" great music videos!!!! Greetings from Argentina!!!!

As you like it, maybe you could try others InSoc music, such as Repetition, Think, Running, Waldking Away, Peace and Love Inc. Some of them use some Star Trek TOS samples.

My reaction to that information:

I'd say they had three other hits, beside this one. Two that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 (follow-ups "Walking Away" #9 and "Think" #28, both of whom have music videos), and one that wasn't necessarily a chart success, but huge in the (NYC Latin) clubs ("Running", and its even more popular remix - no music video, bit of Freestyle classic). I think you'd really enjoy them all. Also, fun fact; They covered both ABBA's "Lay All Your Love on Me" and Tubeway Army (Gary Numan)'s "Are "Friends" Electric?" - Okay covers, ofc, but the originals are far superior. Still makes for a fun listen, though.

❤️

this is 80's as fuck and I would know. This song came out 1988

Peter Gabriel pronounced as Gabriel the archangel. The A in Gabriel has a long sounding A instead of a short A. Same sound as the name Gabe. His name is pronounced Gabe-ree-ill. Devo is pronounced Dee-voh.

If you love this one you should react to the group Red Flag the songs Russian Radio, Give me your hand, etc

notice how your shirt is the video colors vibe

4:17 Amanda Kramer

estas reacciones son tan sobreactuadas que son literalmente "increibles"

new wave epoque

How good was that time?

This song is not like Depeche Mode. It’s I. The same time frame. But a bit different vibe. It was high ratings in the Caribbean in the late 80’s. But the USA was not into this music at this timr

information society is a nerd group. they are all nerds.
