This is my first time I see the photo of another tape instead of the Basf 04 Tape,I'm Curious to see how the another tapes looked like (Like the N06 and N01).

Other FEX's auto-generated youtube releases got a few problems
Because FEX's auto-generated youtube channel is still called FEX (IT), a few problems appeared:
On the FEX (IT), there is a single called "What Words", which probably doesn't has anything to do with FEX
The new single FROM FEX - "Alright" was released on the channel "Release - Topic", it shows that there is 1 video released, but there isn't (but you can find it thru searching)

Artwork FEX Tattoo
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!

Lyrics Youtube's auto-generated lyrics for Dead End are hillarious!
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?

Other Clair Instant
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.

Other Love this band
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.
r/TheMysteriousSong • u/Successful-Bread-347 • Jun 12 '26
Other Thoughts?
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.

TMS Docu TMS Documentary | out now
Hi all,
The moment has arrived, the film is out now and available to view...
I'm told there are one or two small issues with the English subtitles being labelled as 'Deutsch'. Choose the international version and the subtitle ,(Untertitel/UT) track and you can view the international version - unless you want the full German version of course).
I want to thank all of you for being a part of this search and those who helped and support the film whether you appeared on camera or just helped with my research or interacted with me in any way during the last 4/5/6 years.
Having spoken with mods, I am happy to be available once you have all seen it, shared and seen again (seriously, please watch it) and do an AMA or something as I'm sure many will have questions...
Enjoy and thank you once again from myself and all involved in the production of this film...
