You may remember Fred, which has already been discussed on Garage Sale, which took over a song for Love? Well here's a song from the duo that made him famous, and Nicole Frederick. Nicole's question, Nicole Martin, who has enjoyed great success in the 70s.
In September 1969, under the leadership of Tony Roman Revolution and its label, the duo launched its interpretation In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus) duo Zager and Evans. There is a slight psychedelic pop song, ecologist and almost prophetic that puts humanity on guard against its destructive acts. Here's how
In the year 2525 described on Wikipedia (I would not have said it better!):
In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus) describes millennium after millennium (all 1010 years: 2525, 3535 ...) a humanity that leaves out all its functions acts and thoughts to machines and pills until disappearing in 9595. As and when the music changes, the tone rises and the rate increases contributing to the anguish of the song.
The song has no chorus. Ultimately in 9595 the man may be still alive even though he exhausted all the resources of the earth: the environmental message is clear. In the end the reign of man is finished but the song restarts from the beginning suggesting the concept of cycles.
This song about a world cursed by his addiction to technology and its bid was echoed throughout the world in this period of late 1960. It describes a nightmarish vision of a world dehumanized by technology. It refers to Jesus' return (in 7510) of the "Jesus movement" of the hippie culture. It also refers to numerous technological advances that did not exist in practice at the time as robots, or not at all like babies specimen or genetic selection of babies who had been considered only in futuristic novels and never in the mainstream media until the release of this song in 1969.
40 years later, mankind has not understood the message. And anyway, if you look at the rumors, well, we will not even 2525 ... seems that everything is going to jump in 2012! Yay!
probably also convinced obscure fate of humanity (mouais. ..), Ginette Reno has also recorded a version of In the year 2525 in November 1969, surprising its eponymous English album. It was on this album found its sublime soulful interpretation of Do not Let Me Be Misunderstood you've heard of 1 or 2 podcasts Garage Sale. The interpretation of In the year 2525 Ginette is more pop, but it's a good one (like many songs on this album to discover).
Back to our duo apostles of love, new age and the age of Aquarius, Nycole (sic) and Frederick, who also launched another great song psychedelic wishes, performed by the always relevant and unique François Carel I love you once, twice ... I immediately liked the ethereal atmosphere of this piece. It's not the big trip, but it does very well work.
On the A side of the 45s released in 1967, there is also a cover interesting Happy Together (Happy both in French) of the Turtles. Not bad!
Happy New Year 2010 ... or 2525 ... as you prefer!
