Today’s video of the day is Anne Clark – "Our Darkness" released in 1983.

Spoken-word icon Anne Clark remains a defining voice in darkwave and electronic poetry. Her classic track Our Darkness first appeared in 1984. Soon after, it became one of her most recognized recordings. Now, the 2024 remix by Devil Machine introduces the song to a new generation. The remix keeps Clark’s haunting spoken delivery. However, it replaces the gritty analog textures with sleek synthwave production. As a result, the track feels both nostalgic and modern. Meanwhile, the accompanying video highlights the song’s cold, urban mood.

Clark emerged in the early 1980s European electronic scene. She blended poetry with minimalist synthesizers and drum machines. Therefore, her music stood apart from typical synth-pop acts. “Our Darkness” later appeared on her influential album Pressure Points in 1985. That record helped define the darker edge of electronic music. Moreover, its themes explored urban isolation, social pressure, and emotional distance. Because of this, the album remains a cornerstone of Clark’s catalog. It also connects stylistically to later releases like Changing Places and Hopeless Cases. Each project continued her mix of literature, politics, and electronic sound.

The Devil Machine remix respects that legacy. Yet it also pushes the track into modern territory. Bright arpeggiators replace the original’s harsher tones. In contrast, the rhythm feels smoother and more cinematic. Nevertheless, Clark’s words still drive the song’s tension. Consequently, the remix bridges generations of electronic music fans. It also shows how influential the track remains. Artists inspired by darkwave, including bands linked to Depeche Mode or The Cure, still echo its mood today. Therefore, this updated version proves that “Our Darkness” continues to resonate decades later.
