Far from my favourite of theirs, but pretty good nonetheless. The girls sing quite well on it, I think. I prefer "The Sound Of The Crowd", "Mirror Man", "Don't You Want Me" and "Tell Me When" (not necessarily in that order) though.

Yep for sure, that is a classic track. Infact Human League have done many classic tracks
Don't You Want Me Mirror Man Tell Me When (Keep Feeling) Fascination The Lebano Louise And I know it wasn't excatly Human League but the duet that the lead singer done with another artist - Together In Electric Dreams. |

And another thing. You know that track 'Life On Your Own'? Have always been puzzled that he sings 'Winter is approaching, there's snow upon the ground'.
I would suggest that was a pretty clear indicator that winter has, in fact, arrived...

The producer of 'Dare' lives near me. I've stroked his gold disc. It was a magical moment. Although it could have done with a dust.

Never really liked it TBH...Reproduction, Travelogue and Dare were my fave albums (in that order).

I'm not keen on 'Human'.
And I don't like 'Don't you want me?" I just find songs like those boring and dreary. I just tend to not like them when they go too 'poppy'. But I do like The Human League a lot. Excellent band. They've made some great music. Here's some songs that I do like by The Human League.... The Human League - Things That Dreams Are Made Of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ZHQm9R-v4 The Human League - Being Boiled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a1tgI5QS6s The Human League - The Sound Of The Crowd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoi0fDffRdM The Human League - Love Action (I Believe In Love) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OHPRtRWqWg |

I love Human for my own sentimental reasons - one of them being because it reminds me of breaking up with one of my first girlfriends who was heavily into her 80s hits.
I love the League's less commercial stuff as well - even some of the stuff from the days when half of Heaven 17 were still members! I remember 'Human' being on the radio a lot as a kid but it's not one of the ones you tend to hear on the radio anymore. I tend to hear 'mirror man' quite a bit. |

Human is my favourite of Human's League's songs. The video is great and so are the lyrics.

At the time, it was a brave new sound, moving away from the electropop and towards a more pop R&B. Very disappointed with the album, tho.

I think it was produced by Jam & Lewis who also produced Janet Jackson's hugely successful 'Control' album and Alexander O'Neil's 'Criticise' album.
I always preferred 'Love is all that matters', the follow up single off the same album. The production on it fantastic which doesn't really come across on a Youtube mono vid. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5jBwWP0YMws |

I preferred the likes of 'Blind Youth' (from Reproduction) and 'Crow And A Baby' (from Travelogue).
Dare was a definitive early 80s album but I prefer the more avant garde stuff from the early days.
