2:35 | New Dark Age
Reconciliation of two sources ( • The Sound - Sense Of P... , • Adrian Borland & The S... ), processed with NeatVideo in VirtualDub and frame-interpolated to 50fps. A rough hack of the original performance that will stand as the definitive version until a proper 50p rip can be sourced.

I remember watching this when it first went out on OGWT....and the fact I'm still watching and listening to it nearly 40 years later shows just what an impression it left on me. Sadly taken from us far too early

i discovered The Sound right after i graduated in 1990 just to find out they had released their final album just a few years before. in 2000 i got my very first computer for Christmas and the LITERAL first thing i did once i got it set up was search The Sound and Adrian Borland because it was impossible to find anything out about this band at the time, just to find out we had lost Adrian only like a year earlier. it feels like i was chasing this amazing artist for a solid decade and i was always a day to late. then somewhere around 2005/6 my girlfriend at the time showed me youtube and the first thing i search was The Sound and Adrian Borland and the first result i got was somebody posting this OGWT clip of Sense Of Purpose. and i just sat there, i could not believe i was finally seeing this band i had been obsessing over for like the last 15 years. still my personal all time favorite group.

Pure unbridled honesty feom one if the finest ever post punk indie new wave - call them what you want but The Sound were a very precious and special band

From the lion's mouth is every bit as good as unknown pleasures for me. Little did BBC realise how precious some their recordings would become. Unfortunately I was too young to see them live and only discovered them after Adrian Borland's tragic suicide, so footage like this is brilliant

Awesome. Such a great song.. this band never got the recognition they deserved

And the light finally clicks on in 2020 after years and years of my knowledgeable friends trying to tell me how amazing this band was. I guess it's "welcome to the party pal" for me but better late than never

"In the darkest times Darkest fears are heard And from the safest places Come the bravest words Some make a quiet life To keep this Scared old world at bay The dogs are howling on the street outside So they close the curtains, hope they go away And it's pressure from all sides Coming down around our ears Stuck in this room without a door Scratched away at the walls for years All we've got to show is the dust on the floor And here it comes, a new dark age" Never so current...

Sounds like now, lockdown, war. Poverty. I never knew it in 1980 the sound did.

Hai ragione amico...l'umanità sta percorrendo questo sentiero buio ed impervio. Il mio paese, l'Italia, è il posto umanamente piu' oscuro della terra...
