Oddly enough, does anyone know this song was written as a slight insult to the punk culture of Britain at the time? Possibly the League's response to Johnny Rotten calling them 'trendy hippies' after releasing Being Boiled.
@93727CA Hello there,I recommend you listen to HL's remix of The Sound Of The Crowd..It's off the chain,next to Don't You Want Me!!!..Their early work was merely experimental sound in which went pretty well...Otherwise they went downhill right after their single "Human"
us old men never forget a good album, reproduction was an album i grew up with as a teenager, i'll never forget any of these monster monster monster tunes.
who made this video?! It's fantastic! I can tell that it's not an original Human League, but only by the fact that the quality is so good and all the 80s stuff is always so degraded in quality, otherwise it feels incredibly like exactly what they would have done if they'd had the capability at the time. Beautiful!
@AlyssaPandaEyes this video is based on a documentary on British synth pop bands. you can find it here on youtube... check it out. it's called Synth Britannia.
This track is arguably the pivotal point when post-punk actually started. Just go through those lyrics- they are positive and had differences with punk's outlook. The best lines on this track are "Dehumanisation is such a big word, It has been around since Richard the Third, Dehumanisation- it's easy to say but if you are not a hermit then you know that the city is okay".
At least someone had guts to confront Johnny Rotten! I love it!
0:36, Gabrielle Drake, sister of the late musician Nick Drake, from Synth Britannia clip ot The Normal's JG Ballard's inspired "Warm Leatherette". See her quite a bit these days on the box on ITV4 with the repeats of Gerry Anderson's "UFO".
Equating Reproduction or Travelogue to Dare. They are all three excellent albums -but Dare doesn't resemble them in the slightest, and the comparison is pointless.
Phil did say he wanted to be in a group that was more Moroder and Donna Summer.
Don't think there would have been many dancing around their handbags to the brilliant "Black Hit of Space". But "Being Boiled" was an early electro nightclub DJ fav though.
To say this is brilliant is an understatement.
