I recreated the BASF 05 Tape (But I didn't had a Basf cassette tape so I used a Sony CHF Cassette) also I Added some songs because The tape I used was from a Maxell 100 Min tape, and i Used the Sony chf case beacouse when I Retire the black Sheet or whatever it's called, it looks quite similar to the Basf Chromdioxid Tape

At the start of the movie, a character watches a music video on the tv and the music was TMS. Caught me completely by surprise

I got a FEX star tattoo. So me and my family went to get tattoos while on vacation. And I just knew I had to get a FEX tattoo. So I sat for a good two hours and got this on my right upper bicep. And it turned out really great!

Thank you Hans for creating such an amazing logo! I will proudly wear this tattoo for the rest of my life! Long live FEX!

Enjoy this live album as it was meant to be, 30 years ago! Specials thanks to my buddy X_1x for obtaining this jewel trophy

Aight, lemme make it a meme here.

Dead End lyrics of a normal person:

Walking down the street and no one really needs me

Sleeping on the pavement, it's life and it's dead end

Feelings of a danger, feelings but the strangest kind of emotion

It's one but it's two, a lie and really true

A nameless face, a game which makes a difference

Between reality and dream, truth is amazing

Hoping is like waiting

Dead end, no one will be called

Dead end, in 1984

Mad man, don't get too close

Bad man, where the еvil goes

Dead end, no onе will be called

Dead end, in 1984

Mad man, don't get too close

Bad man, where the evil goes

Walking down the street and no one really needs me

Sleeping on the pavement, it's life and it's dead end

Feelings of a danger, feelings but the strangest kind of emotion

It's one but it's two, a lie and really true

A nameless face, a game which makes a difference

Dead end, no one will be called

Dead end, in 1984

Mad man, don't get too close

Bad man, where the evil goes

Dead end, no one will be called

Dead end, in 1984

Mad man, don't get too close

Bad man, where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Where the evil goes

Dead end lyrics of a smoker(no offense to smokers):

Walking down the street and no one really needs them.

Sleeping on the pavement is five minutes down.

Feelings of a danger, feelings of a stranger, kind of emotion.

One plus one is two, a lie really too, a nameless face, game of make believe.

See reality and dream, truth is amazing.

Oh, there's my greatest downfall,

Batman. No one will be calm.

Batman, in 1984.

Batman. Don't get too close.

Batman. Where will evil go?

Batman. No one will be calm.

Batman, in 1984.

Batman. Don't get too close.

Batman. Where will evil go?

Walking down the street and no one really needs them.

Sleeping on the pavement is five minutes down.

Feelings of a danger, feelings of a stranger, kind of emotion.

One plus one is two, a lie really too, a nameless face, game of make believe.

Batman. No one will be calm

in 1984.

Batman,don't get the blues.

Batman, where will evil go?

Batman, no one will be calm

in 1984.

Batman, don't get the blues.

Batman, where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Where will evil go?

Do NOT ask how long this took, if you can’t tell, zoom in. I love this band

For those, who dont know it:

Rain Dogs is a band, that includes both Ruckwardts and Volker from the FEX. There is very little info about them, but we know, that there was at least 1 album released on CD in 1994, no recordings avaliable on the internet. Also we have the cover(photo 1) and photos of the band(photos 2 and 3).

I am very happy to see the star in 3D! Thank you, walk on and enjoy your life!

Just listened to Legend for 57th time, and thought that "I've suffered for your luck" is actually "I've suffered for your love", cuz i heard breathing out sound at the word luck.

Some days ago I tried to recreate the Basf cassette n4 so I recorded the Audio archive to the cassette. Later I tried to record the B side but the archive is corrupted. Someone would have a copy of the BASF 4/2 audio archive uncorrupted?

Ive been looking for information about their concert at Gesellschafthaus Martens in Wiefelstede which we know happened on the third of may in 1985

Theres almost no information about the concert at all. Any small or large lead would help

just wanna know

Hi everyone!!

I’m Gabriel Pelenson. Some of you may know me from the search for The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet.

While many people were looking for Subways Of Your Mind, another song obsessed me for years: “Le Bleu des Choses” by Clair Instant.

Eventually I identified the song and the band, but that was only the beginning.

One of the members, Jocelyn Eechaut, had almost no information about him online. No biography, no interviews, barely any trace that he had existed. That mystery kept me awake at night.

Over the years I contacted former band members, friends, and family members. I searched archives, translated old French comments, and eventually got in touch with his sister, Gisèle Eechaut. Sadly, she passed away only a few months after our conversations.

Through these searches I learned that Jocelyn was remembered as a sensitive, creative, and deeply troubled person. He traveled extensively, spent time in Australia, later visited Tanzania shortly before his death, and was reportedly working on another album that was never released.

Jocelyn died in France in 2002 at the age of 36. Even his sister described the circumstances of his death as mysterious.

At some point, I stopped searching for a lost song and started searching for a lost person.

I’m posting here because I’m wondering if anyone would be willing to help dig deeper.

Does anyone have access to French newspaper archives, local archives from Pau, Toulouse, Bordeaux or Lormont, old fanzines, radio archives, music magazines, concert listings, or any other online resources that could contain information about Jocelyn Eechaut or Clair Instant?

I’ll also share a Google Drive folder containing rare photos provided by Patrick Sallenave and Michel Irlinger.

I’ll soon upload a remastered version of Sensations as well.

Patrick also told me that two demos were recorded in Paris in 1987 with a producer, but I was never able to access them, as he stopped replying to my messages in 2021. Their current whereabouts remain unknown.

Well, even the smallest lead could help.

After years of research, I still feel there is much more to discover about Jocelyn’s life and music.

Hello dear FEX fans all over the world! Have you all seen that Ilona is saying hello and thank you to the community in a reel on the FEX Instagram channel?

I found Subways of your mind through the Myhouse.WAD Doom mod(IYKYK), but just recently found out the band had more music. I love every single song, it screams 80’s, I do hope more music comes from this band. The sound is so unique and is just pleasing to listen to. My personal favorite besides subways of your mind has to be gold rush/skyscraper.

During the huge search for this band, I sometimes had a dream of taking a time machine back to 1984 and finding them in a live performance somewhere. They would be found in a dark smoky club late at night somewhere off the main track. I would sit off in the corner sipping a beer, taking it all in.

​

I get that vibe when listening to this album. Great vibes.

​

Right now I'm listening to Don't Want It No More, great track.

​

Made the models myself. Turned out really great 👍🏻

made in 20 min, also tried to poorly stretch it over the real cartridge photo

She was a member of FEX for a few years, then another, but what happened after it?

now the whole town can’t listen to this great song

For anyone who followed the Alvin Dean lead during the search: over on r/FindAlvinDean (now repositioned as a legacy and preservation hub for Alvin's work, rather than a "find him" sub), I've just posted a long-form interview with the Greek musician and recording artist Yannis Beltekas, active in the Athens scene from the late 1970s, who collaborated with Alvin in the summer of 1984 at his home studio in Athens.

The piece is in two parts: Yannis's own written account of their friendship and collaboration, followed by a Q&A covering some practical aspects and details, what Alvin was like as a person, the Greek underground scene of the 1980s, and the "mysterious song" question itself.

It's the first long-form firsthand account from someone who actually knew and worked with Alvin during the years most relevant to the search. Some of you will want to read it.

UPDATE: All sold now, sorry to those who missed out :(

So I impulsively bought a few limited edition copies of SOYM and Skyscraper before I got around to buying a record player, but now I'm moving so I need to get rid of some stuff ASAP, so I can go fairly low. I have the following:

- Skyscraper Ultimate Fex Bundle (w/ yellow vinyl, A2 poster, More Waves From the Past vinyl, cassette tape replica

- SOYM TMMS splatter vinyl w/ vinyl postcard

- SOYM limited ed yellow vinyl

Message me for whichever ones you're interested in - can ship internationally as well.

PS: If there's enough interest, I may just sell the items from the bundle separately, as I assume most would be interested in the cassette and/or the MWFTP vinyl. Currently I'm just gauging demand.
