Crash

Crash (1986) more music like this

by The Human League

The Human League turned to American R&B producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in the wake of their success with Janet Jackson's Control, and the combination brought the group its second number one hit with the Jam-Lewis composition "Human," which harked back to the earlier "Don't You Want Me," albeit with a gentler tone. The album's second single, ...

Dare!

Dare! (1981) more music like this

by The Human League

Dare! captures a moment in time perfectly -- the moment post-punk's robotic fascination with synthesizers met a clinical Bowiesque infatuation with fashion and modern art, including pop culture, plus a healthy love of songcraft. The Human League had shown much of this on their early singles, such as "The Lebanon," but on Dare! they simply gelled, ...

Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (1988) more music like this

by Human League

This well-chosen best-of contains The Human League's U.K. and U.S. hits from 1978 ("Being Boiled") to 1986, including the chart-toppers "Don't You Want Me" and "Human" and such non-album singles as "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and "Mirror Man." It's a study in '80s dance-pop. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

The Very Best of the Human League [Caroline] (2005) more music like this

by The Human League

Putting together an adequate compilation of the Human League's best moments has proved to be a thankless task. What to include? (How about all of Dare!?) Do you pay attention to the pre-coed version of the band? Do you pay any attention to anything that came after Crash? At any rate, The Very Best Of Virgin retrospective, originally released in ...

Original Remixes & Rarities (2005) more music like this

by The Human League

A grab bag of extended mixes and otherwise neglected moments from the Human League's catalog, focusing on Dare! through Romantic?, Original Remixes & Rarities is a useful accessory for fans but -- unsurprisingly -- it's not the least bit essential for anyone else. Highlights include the extended versions of "Sound of the Crowd," "Don't You Want Me ...

MTV Class of 1983

MTV Class of 1983 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The double-disc MTV Class of 1983 attempts to distill the essence of early MTV to 30 tracks from the biggest names and most popular one-hit wonders of that year. The approach works remarkably well, as the compilation features many new wave classics that effortlessly evoke 1983. The sheer size of MTV Class of 1983 distinguishes it from other new ...

Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 10 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

The tenth volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's isn't as consistent as some, yet better than many others. In fact, it seems better than many of its peers because its best songs are fantastic. And those are some timeless singles -- Adam Ant's "Desperate but Not Serious," the Human League's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination," the Jam ...

Hysteria (1984) more music like this

by The Human League

The Human League followed Dare! with more success, at least when it came to singles. The Motown-inspired "Mirror Man" and the frivolous (in a borderline-genius way) "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" maintained the group's momentum. When recording commenced for the full-length successor to Dare!, however, things got ugly. Martin Rushent, the producer ...

First Generation: Virgin 25 Years (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Most people think of Virgin Records as the multinational recording conglomerate that has proven to be one of the giants of the industry in the 1990s. Indeed, that is true. However, like a lot of big dinosaurs, they got their start as one of the most feisty independents of their time. Virgin XXV Years collects a lot of label material that reflects ...

Reproduction (1979) more music like this

by The Human League

Pop fans a bit put off by the Human League's dispassionate vocals on their breakout hit "Don't You Want Me" would have been shocked by the degree of emotionlessness heard two years earlier on the band's 1979 debut. The trio of Ian Craig Marsh, Martyn Ware, and Philip Oakey all handled vocals and synthesizers to create a set of grim, rigid tracks ...

Travelogue (1980) more music like this

by The Human League

The Human League's second album, Travelogue, was their first to be released in the U.S. (Not that you would have noticed at the time, given the limited distribution; the album subsequently was picked up for reissue by Virgin/Atlantic in 1988.) It was also the last to feature the nearly original lineup of Martyn Ware, Ian Marsh, Philip Oakey, and ...

Smooth Grooves: After Hours Cool Down (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Smooth Grooves: After Hours Cool Down spans 12 tracks, all quiet storm and urban soul hits from the '80s. The thing that makes this different from other smooth, romantic collections of this nature is that all the big hits -- "You're Not My Kind of Girl," "Keep on Movin'," "Human," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" -- are presented in alternate, ...

Soundtrack to a Generation (1998) more music like this

by Human League

Its somewhat presumptuous title notwithstanding, Soundtrack to a Generation is a very handy guide to those parts of the Human League that other compilations rarely touch -- only 1986's "Human" and the Giorgio Moroder collaboration "Together (In Electric Dreams)" can exactly be called hit singles and, as that latter was all but a Phil Oakey solo ...

Greatest Hits [Virgin] (1995) more music like this

by The Human League

Greatest Hits reminds that popular tracks like "Don't You Want Me" successfully bridged the gap between dance, pop, and rock audiences. With "Being Boiled," the 16-strong collection even offers a token sample of the League's earliest, more experimental machine music approach -- although their atmospherically funereal cover of the Righteous ...

Secrets (2001) more music like this

by Human League

The Human League's first album in more than six years isn't a complete success, but it's a welcome return from Sheffield's finest synth pop band. Only a handful of songs, among them "All I Ever Wanted," "Love Me Madly?," "Never Give Your Heart," "Liar," and "Reflections," stand up against the band's finest work from the past, but these songs are ...

Greatest Hits of the 80's [1999 Disky] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like the box sets devoted to the 1960s and 1970s released by Dutch label Disky, Greatest Hits of the 80's is a massive collection that should have qualifications applied to its all-encompassing title. First, Disky licenses primarily from EMI, so its hits are largely restricted to that major label's vaults. (This is not as great a limitation as it ...
