![]() review |
This album includes previously unheard material from the pre-Travelogue and Reproduction era Human League, and their earlier alias, The Future and includes tracks from the classic Ware/Marsh/Newton and Ware/Marsh/Oakey line ups. Transporting us back to 1977 Sheffield, the tracks showcase the more ambient and experimental side of the band ('Last Man On Earth' -- like prime Boards Of Canada, New Pink Floyd -- as it says on the tin, but don't be afraid), their burgeoning pop sensibilities (Dance Like A Star, Year Of The Jet Packs) as well as their distinctive humur (Dominion Advertisement). There a few secret out takes from the multi tracks hidden on the CD. A wealth of new material for the old school fans and the new listeners drawn to this era by the recent new wave and electronic revival.
For fans of: Human League/Cabaret Voltaire/Clock DVA/Heaven 17." © AB-CD |

An amazing retrospective of legendary '80s synth pop group, the Human League (who were earlier known as the Future) featuring material from their pre-Virgin days. Cold raw electronics clash with pop melodies and hints of German Industrial music. This is a must for any electro pop fan. © Other Music |
