The release year looks a bit, ahem, wrong. If the single is about nuclear weapons and takes its name from a Mad Max movie, then I don't see how it could have been released during the first World War. Maybe that should be "1991"? However, I'm not sure of the correct year. — JIP | Talk 06:59, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Players
It's probably impossible to verify nowadays, but the instrumental parts of the studio versions of Two Tribes were performed by a large cast of session musicians, possibly including Trevor Rabin of Yes. It would be interesting to know who they were (particularly the guitarist). -Ashley Pomeroy 03:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
True. Steve Howe appears on the Pleasuredome LP. The only "real" musicians on "Relax" are the Blockheads.
I saw them play live - really live - on the Tube early in 1985, and Nasher was excellent. Shows was a perfectionist T Horn was/is.
[edit] Reagan, Chris Barrie and Hitler
Part of the text of Chris Barrie's Reagan voice on the "Annihilation" mix is from Hitler, addressing the court after he'd been sentenced to jail "and the goddess of eternal justic will smile and tear to tatters the sentence of this court..." Reagan as Hitler? Paul Morley being very naughty indeed, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.200.194 (talk) 12:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Height of the Cold War"?
The article says that the song "was released at the height of the cold war, when general fears about global nuclear warfare were at a peak." This seems exaggerated. Surely the "height of the Cold War" was in the late 1950s and early 1960s -- as per the Doomsday Clock. It is true that in the early 1980s there was some increase in tension (again, see Doomsday Clock), but not to the extent this sentence makes it seem like. 207.176.159.90 06:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think that the "Doomsday Clock" was based on the perceptions of a group of scientists / academics, which probably differ from your average person in the street. I recall that, at the time, the UK charts were full of "we're all about to die" songs (e.g. "Dancing with tears in my eyes", "99 Red Balloons", "Breathing", etc..) a situation perpetuated by what many people viewed as the extremely agressive attitudes being adopted by both President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher towards the eastern bloc countries. Also, TV dramas like "Threads" didn't do anything to cheer everyone up... Paul-b4 (talk) 14:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Video
The guy fighting Reagan looks more like Eltsin than Chernenko to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.45.172 (talk) 09:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
