Obscure Elite appearance

Post by JohnnyBoy »

I was watching some old music videos from the '80s, and I stumbled across something that I'd never noticed before....

Check out the sequence from 2:28 to 2:36 of this classic video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eGPhUr-T6UM

Took me a while to find it, but then I saw Lave and stuff, And by listing to that song, I'v lost the will to live.

Dude, that song was one of the very first house music records to see the light of day, so back in 1987 it was a big deal. :)

Wow!
I'd never noticed that before either.
(Still have quite a fondness for some old house every now and again)
Nice find :-)

wow, you have amazing eyesight! i never noticed that, even after rewinding the video loads of times - i think i was looking for some wireframe ships or something. that reminds me, i remember another music video that came out around the same time that had some of the ships from Starglider in it, can't remember the song - i think it was something like the 'jack that house built' lol
ah, here it is: Jack n' Chill - The Jack That House Built

there a starglider walker at about 1:30, don't know why that video stuck in my head, hopefully it's not because of the dancing bricklayer :shock:
