About this deal

The Svengali: "Don't You Want Me" is a duet between a Svengali and his increasingly-rebellious protegee.

In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band's worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. The song was savaged by critics at the time and has now been largely disowned by the band since. [2] [3] Music video [ edit ]

Oakey has stated that upon discovering the girls were only teenagers and also best friends, he invited them both so they could look after each other on the tour for safety. He has also said that he thought having two women as vocalists and dancers would also add glamour to the band. Because of the girls' ages, Oakey and Wright later had to visit Sulley and Catherall's respective parents to obtain permission for the girls to go on the tour. Their parents let them join the band under the provision that Oakey would keep them safe. Sulley also reported that both her father and Catherall's went to the girls' school and convinced them that the experience of touring could be highly educational because of the travelling involved. [16] Line-of-Sight Name: The group took its name from a faction in the Sci-Fi Tabletop Game Starforce: Alpha Centauri. The Human League are a Synth-Pop band from Sheffield, England. They formed in 1978 when the experimental synth duo the Future (consisting of Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh) teamed up with singer Phil Oakey to write pop tunes. At the point they formed, synth music was often in the proggy vein (e.g. Kraftwerk, Vangelis) or in the disco vein (e.g. Giorgio Moroder), but the group took note of the DIY punk aesthetic to create their own dark style of synth music with poppy structures. Unlike many other Synth-Pop bands of the era, they completely used electronic instrumentation (Including a full Roland System 100) with no guitars or drums, with their debut Single Being Boiled cited as one of the first examples of popular electronic music in the UK. This led to their signature electronic sound as noted by fans, which helped them gain popularity throughout the late 70s.Hysteria includes a re-recording of "I Love You Too Much" from Fascination!, featuring a less aggressive electro sound. The band themselves were prominently influenced by Yellow Magic Orchestra, to the point of using the Roland MC-8 microprocessor that YMO brought to fame. They would later get the chance to collaborate with the Japanese band on the EP YMO Versus The Human League. In 1994, EastWest Records (a subsidiary of Time Warner) showed interest in the band's demos and the material rejected by Virgin. They signed the band and paired them with producer Ian Stanley (formerly of Tears for Fears). EastWest financed expensive music videos and heavily promoted their releases. The first release was on Boxing Day 1994 and was the single " Tell Me When", which gave the band their first Top 10 hit since 1986's "Human". It also topped the UK airplay charts for several weeks. The accompanying album, Octopus, returned the band to the UK Top 10 and later achieved a gold disc.

I’ve wondered if Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis didn’t exactly give Human League their best work, or maybe they tried and it just didn’t work. According to the Wikipedia article on Crash, there were creative clashes and the other members of Human League were basically sidelined. Human League record first album for nine years".

The band's highlight of 2006 was a performance to an audience of 18,000 at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, on 24 October 2006, one of their largest concerts to date. This was followed up by an 11-venue tour of Europe in November and December 2006. With a new line-up, sound, and vocalist, Ware decided that the band needed a new name. It would also allow them to approach record companies again from a different angle. Ware suggested "The Human League", after a group in the science-fiction board game StarForce: Alpha Centauri. In the game, the Human League arose in 2415 A.D. and were a frontier-oriented society that desired more independence from Earth. Oakey and Marsh agreed on the new name, and in early 1978 The Future became The Human League. [7] [ unreliable source?] The original Human League in July 1980.

The Stars Are Going Out" from Romantic is a more personal example, being about the band's fall from critical and commercial popularity following the unexpectedly gargantuan success of Dare! While the band kept its singles in their setlists after the fact, Romantic? was scarcely reissued for the better part of three decades thanks to its critical and commercial failure. Until it was included on the vinyl Boxed Set The Virgin Years in 2022, the only reissues Romantic? ever saw were Japanese CD releases in 1993 and 2017.The band's first single under Virgin Records was the disco influenced " I Don't Depend on You", released in July 1979 under the pseudonym " The Men". The single did not chart and had very little in common with the previous work of the Human League. It did, however, feature female vocals by guests Lisa (Liza) Strike and Katie Kissoon, sounding like the yet-to-be-formed future Human League of 1981.
