I used to dance to this at our local club on a Tuesday night. I was 14! We had glue-sniffing, Pro-plus, Do-Dos, Pomagne, speed, heroin and if you survived that then there were NF skinheads, Mods, Rockers, etc who'd all beat the shit out of us for wearing the tiniest bit of eye-liner. And everyone goes on about the feral youth of today, lol. They haven't a clue...

@lec0roh Sorry mate, I"Creamfields" or "Ministry of Sound" is mostly crap anyway and this tune is nothing to do with Human League, it's by someone else, they just added boring synth effects.
-
@lizardbabe Heh, it really does!
-
This sounds like music of the old sonic's :)
-
A belting tune - havn't heard it for years ! Think it was written by Jeff 'War of the Worlds' Wayne ?
-
one of my fav instrumentals
-
@zzzsjp Have a listen to Human League's Secrets album then, that's pretty decent too considering it's more commercial than Travelogue.and Reproduction.
Don't have a go at them for getting the girls in the band, because they still did great and became more popular.

Its Got To be Gordons - remember it well, the height of sophistication just before The Spy Who Loved Me or somesuch.

First heard it as the original Jeff Wayne version on the ad at the pictures. When shuffling through a friends tape collection and saw this on it then I had to listen. 'Travelogue' is in my top three fave albums. I do not and ever have owned a copy of 'Dare'.

Does anyone have the Gordons cinema advert using this music..used to love it..the ad not the gin!!!
-
They used to play this in cinemas with great big bass thumping surroundasound and it was great.
This is a great song - so way ahead of its time. It wouldn't sound out of place on a "Creamfields" or "Ministry of Sound" compilation of today. It's a shame that Martin Ware and Phil Oakey couldn't sort out their differences as the early League were so mould-breaking and pioneering in their musical output.

Totally agree on all counts! The early League stuff was a class apart and way ahead of its time. When the girls turned up and they all started listening to Abba it was time to divert attention to Heaven 17! Their version of "Are Everything" by The Buzzcocks (an early b-side) is well worth a listen!
