Credo is part of a particular pop lineage that goes from Bowie, Roxy and Kraftwerk to Donna Summer, Chic and Michael Jackson to Lady Gaga, Usher and Girls Aloud. Supremely infectious chart pop music with a twist of subversion. Credo manages to makes itself heard above the brashest state of the art pop productions and brings some of that primitive essence to the milieu, as well as The Human League s unique quality of apartness. Wall of Sound. 2011

The Human League are often praised as architects of the electronic new wave genre, they have been around for 30 years and have sold over 20 million albums.

Famously described by David Bowie in 1979 as "the sound of the future", The Human League are more highly regarded in 2011 than they were in 1981 when they released their landmark album Dare! The Human League kick off 2011 with the release of their ninth studio album, Credo, as brilliant a distillation of their ideas about pop and dancing, glamour and electronics as anything they have ever done.

They're used to everyone from Madonna to Moby, Pet Shop Boys to Lady Gaga, citing them as an influence. Now the dubstep generation - notably, the acclaimed Darkstar, who cover the League's 1982 B-side `You Remind Me Of Gold' on their current album, North - have begun to pay homage. But they're about more than esoteric infiltration - there has been mainstream penetration, perhaps most famously via the greatest ever Christmas Number 1 single with 1981/2's "Don't You Want Me" plus four Top 10 albums and eight Top 10 singles in the UK as well as two US Number 1 singles and sold 20 million records worldwide.

The Human League have never been about resting on their laurels or relying on past glories to see them through. Credo is as brilliant a distillation of their ideas about pop and dancing, glamour and electronics, as anything they have ever done. They called it Credo ("belief") for The Human League fans who never stopped believing in the band in the decade since their last album, 2001's critically acclaimed Secrets.

Produced by fellow pop experimentalists I Monster, Credo is part of that particular pop lineage that goes from Bowie, Roxy and Kraftwerk to Donna Summer, Chic and Michael Jackson. Supremely infectious chart pop music with an extra subversive "x" factor. Credo's eleven tracks still bear all the classic League synth pop hallmarks but are as modern as the sharpest 21st century chart pop, including ecstatic album opener and current single "Never Let Me Go".

"We're peculiar," says The Human League. "We don't fit in. People don't quite appreciate how strange we are. There are three of us, two of whom have never written a song and are pretty average singers, plus we've got a lead singer who doesn't consider himself a singer at all and can't play any instruments very well. And yet we still think of ourselves as a pop group, not arty-farty or weird. We shouldn't have gone on this long as we have - we should have `gone rock' by now, like Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and U2 did. But we're still a pop group." Not just a pop group - possibly the last great pop group. Believe.

The popularity of The Human League never seems to wane, with constant sell-out tours and festival appearances (Homelands and Big Gay Out in 2005). 2005 saw the League back on a 16-date tour of the UK in November. To coincide with their touring activities, a collection of original 12-inch remixes of their most popular tracks are features, many of which have not been on CD before - such as the full unedited versions of 'The Sound Of The Crowd', 'Open Your Heart' and 'The Lebanon'. Additionally, 'Love Action' and 'Hard Times Instrumental 12-inches were only previously available on a CD single, and the rest of the tracks (bar the Extended Electric Dreams which came out on the reissued Oakey & Moroder CD reissue) are currently only to be found as bonus tracks on various US and International pressings.
