       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df75dJYMw2QActually have something appropriate for #SundaysOfPioneers.Found this band via Rubellan Remasters who, sadly, are no longer with us due to the blackened nightmare hellscape that is the music industry in 2025.  Basically, they did such a baller job updating the majority of the Oingo Boingo catalog that I decided to pick up whatever the dude felt like reissuing.Vivabeat were around for something like 18 months before ceasing to be in spite of Peter Gabriel being the reason they got signed after a demo impressed him.  In fact, their song "Man from China" impressed him so much that he took the "whistled hook" idea from it and applied it to his own "Games Without Frontiers."  Luckily, it was just an arrangement idea he borrowed and the two songs have nothing else in common.After listening to more or less everything this band recorded while it existed, this song is probably my favorite.  Edgy, presumably Cold War tensions with some warbly synths and a video that clearly blew its budget near the end (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it).
