PROMO!! Art of Noise with Max Headroom 12" Paranoimia~Chrysalis EP *MINTY*
This 12-inch has a completely different vocal with Headroom as a master of ceremonies, talking about the music and making a pun-laden introduction of the alleged band members: Peter O'Toole on trumpet (the absence of a trumpet in the song explained by O'Toole, notorious at one time for his drinking, "just having a rest between bars"), tennis player Martina Navratilova on bassline (baseline), Cher on mic ("Are you OK, Mike?"), and the Pope on drums.
Max Headroom is making a comeback!!!! A reboot is in the works. Matt Frewer, who originated the Max Headroom character in 1985, is set to reprise his role with his eerily perfect hair and frequent glitching.
One of the most memorable pop culture oddities of the 1980s, Max Headroom originated with a British TV movie titled Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future. Billed as the first computer-generated TV host, the supposedly artificial intelligence character immediately struck a chord with audiences. He went on to pop up all over television, appearing in commercials, hosting music videos programs, and even getting two seasons of his own ABC TV series in 1987. Despite being off the air for years, he remains a frequently referenced aspect of 1980s nostalgia, and gained infamy when his likeness was used as part of a legendary (and legendarily creepy) pirate broadcast in 1987.
