The Human League - Being Boiled

i liked the starting beat.

Fantastic revolutionary track. This is 31 years old and STILL sounds better than anything thats being released now. The HL were sooo ahead of their time.They pre-empted the 80's by four years! HL/Philip Oakey should be given an Outstanding Achievement Award and made members of the Hall of Fame. They are Britains first and longest-lived synth band. (Keep) Listening To The Voice of Buddha ;)

yes! a ROLAND JUPITER 4 analog synthesizer!

This song is on the Ninja Assassin soundtrack!

Thank you corbyz - I didn't know what it was about. It is a weird idea for a song, but maybe it is a metaphor, saying don't torture the weak and helpless for your own ends? I note the words "blameless victim." I like everything the Human Leaque did EXCEPT "Don't you want me Baby" which was dreadful.

Excellent post; I was wondering about the lyrics and your comment put it all together for me. Thanks!

Love this track, the league were great until they went too poppy.

Listen 2 the voice of Buddah !!!

Big Fan of the old Human Leauge.Hated the new stuff! the only good thing about the, Don't you want me baby Video was the Saab 99Turbs in it!

years before i was born, i`m born in oct 15 - 1981. I love synthesizer music/electronics. The great smooth synth sounds - who dominate this song.
in the video to, the elegance, huge synthesizers, lot of eguitment in the studio, the pioneer of the synth/electronic
music. Big tapes from "Revox" or "Sony"
