Gods, that’s wonderful! : )
@ahetza funny i get the thumbs down…i have to say.. Ive fallen in love with the original…more so than this version ..but this is still great nonetheless
id normally say the original is best but I enjoy this version much much more. I hope to catch him live..
The synthesizers are very kraftwek influenced in this song. There is another song that he does that is even more Kraftwerk …..In this song listen between 3:49and 4:04 Extremely Kraftwer. This is just how it is…get used to it pal LOL
That’s a fairly ignorant statement as this has almost nothing in common with the Kraftwerk sound.
Genius.
I’ve always loved this song.
He’s the only good thing to come out of the electronic 80′s.
Brilliant.
I’m going to play this to death.
HOLY KRAFTWERK
He looks like Frankenberry (the US breakfast cereal character) with those goggles and overcoat…LOL! This is a great song. I love how he layers it all up.
Thomas Dolby hurt my Krenz!
¡Un genio visionario del techno pop en ejecución!
A visionary techno pop genious performing!
Great .. the first video of urs that i see .. enjoyed .. ))
take note current losers with lappys . this is a master surrounded with the tools of his CRAFT yes music. no need to be on stage with a bunch of pointless dancers to ENTERTAIN us. ta Mr Dolby
Dolby was right when he wrote the song in the 80s – Leipzig was full of Honnecker-esque tower blocks that all looked the same!
He is British and has been living in the Los Angeles, Ca area with his wife for many years.
I don’t think he’s Australian, but I think I detect an Australian accent here.
Thanks. Do you know the exact link ? Is it free or for sale ?
It’s available on i-tunes…
“he gets there and realizes everywhere is the same”- There is no where on earth like Leipzig man!
I agree – he has only improved as a vocalist, all these years later…
I Love Thomas Dolby’s Brilliant songs, but wish I could find the original of “Leipzig” as it sounded much more Haunting especially during the 80s when I first heard it when this WhiRrRL’d was Far Less ‘free’ than it is(n’T) today. Does anyone have the link to it ? Danke Schöen!
Beautiful. This guy never ceases to amaze me. After all these years still full of tremendous talent.
somebody please post the original track of both this and “urges”, the versions on the retrospectacle compilation. thank you.
Truly gorgeous song!…what a musician!…that section form 4.15 thru 4.19 just blows my mind every time…as good as it gets..isn’t it?
my boyfriend and I went to see him while he was on this tour. it was awesome
His voice are at top at this moment.
