 "Hard Times" on cd! Finally!
Submitted on: 2009-06-10 |

| Great CD! I had always hoped they would release the Fascination! EP on cd. Just for the extra tracks. This is just about it! It has the right "Hard Times" version (the "Hard Times" on the reissue of Dare isn't quite the same). "Mirror Man" and "You Remind Me of Gold", great to have this on CD! |

This Human League CD might not be that RARE! If you read the track
listing, you will find many extended mixes (not always 12"). You
will also hear many 'B' sides, with editing based on the technology that was available. The most exciting, vibrant track is "Heart Like A Wheel".
Also, "Sound of the Crowd", 12 mix; "Love Action", but not the 12" mix.
The other 12 tracks are still danceable. Long live Korg syntheziers!
Best of all might well be Philip Oakley's commanding presence as lead
vocalist. Of all the bands of that time, (Kraftwork,Depeche Mode, etc.)
only Phil had that Sheffield voice perfectly in time to the sound
of the crowd.
Another album by Human League "Dare", still sends chills along the spine.
It was a record breaking selling LP, (along with ABC's "Look of Love") and the digitally remastered CD is approximately 2 hours long. This could well be the better choice, especially if you belong to the 'Mirror Man" crowd. All decended from Sheffield, England - roaming the globe with
laptops under their arms. Human League really are a bunch of FUN! |

Many music fans have been waiting for a Remix Album for The Human League for years. After being released I can say now that this album is disappointing. A vocal version for the songs "Don't You Want Me" and "(Keep Feeling)Fascination could've been included. Although this versions are very good they're not the same with little or no vocals at all. Also, they could've include the 12" version of "Love Action."

Quality-pops and clicks etc Human League remixes
Submitted on: 2007-07-02 |

While there are some pops and clicks on some of these recordings it is not because the recording source is suspect it is because the tracks that have those artifacts where created back between 1981 and 83 when samplers where hugely expensive- hard to get and didnt have much memory at all- the way the producer created most of the non stop unlimited remixes was with a
good old razor blade and tape. A skill that is dieing off. The producer- Martin Rushent- has been said that most of these remixes had SO MANY cuts and edits in the original tape that many times it could only be run through the machine once or twice before it would disintegrate!!! Be glad that these are availible as many many other great artists from the best period of new music (late 70's early to mid 80's) are still not on CD and possibly never will be. While the record companies pump out tons of garbage that has no right to be released tons of great stuff will sit in vaults- people that would spend good money will wait forever- point in case the first two albums (1980 and 81) by Polyrock. They where FINALLY just released on a small label and you had better snatch them up while you can cause the value of them will skyrocket just like the double CD of The Producers(the New Wave-Power Pop band not the remade movie) albums- they where released on a small label on cd and now less then 9 years later they are fetching 80 bucks or so!!
