The Buggles were Downes and Trevor Horn at the helm, but Hans Zimmer and
Thomas Dolby were brought in as musicians. Also Warren Cann (from Ultravox),
and a few other people whose names escape me. It's been a while since I've
seen the video, but I remember a few shots of Zimmer in the video with a
fantastic keyboard rig, I think with an ARP (2600?) in his keyboard stand,
and a column of (to my memory it was Moog) modules behind him. It almost
looked like a small version of TONTO and he looked BAD∗SS!!

best,
