thursday 1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 "I'm only human...... of flesh and blood........" Love it. Shame about electric dreams. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I didn't like that one when it first came out, but it's a good little song. Electric Dreams can be forgiven coz it wasn't The Human League. They did have some quality control issues though, nothing comes close to Dare/League Unlimited. v got me onto that remix one, it is really good. You won't need any cheese at the concert pie-eater, it is provided in dollops by the band Is it that one with ABC and Heaven 17 you going to? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Oh yes, we'll be ready for the cheese. Yep ABC, Heaven 17, Go West and, ahem, Belinda Carlisle. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Go West. Are they still going???? Did they even have any other songs other than this one? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Love Action is totally killer. Its no wonder they chose to release it before Don't You Want Me. Its so much better. Human is a good tune, but its basically just Jam/Lewis with the Human League singing. Here's Roxy back to outJapan Japan and outDuran the still demoing Duran Duran. Great bassline on this one.

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Back in those days, didn't lots of bands record singles and then go in and do the album? I think I recall reading an interview with "this is Phil talking" and him saying that originally they didn't want Don't You Want Me to be released as a single because it was after the album was released and way after the first few singles that were eventually on Dare. How things change. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I remember albums coming out and then singles from the album, eg, Dire Straits. Rather strange. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Lots of bands used to release singles well in advance of albums. One good example is Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode. It was released more than 6 months before the album that it was on (Violator) and went on to sell tons. Then they released Enjoy The Silence before the album as well with 2 singles after the album was released. Off topic but those CD Maxis they released for those singles are fine fine slices of remixes, truly their golden period my favorite being the World In My Eyes. Ah, they don't make them like they used to. The singles market is pretty much dead now, the whole way of doing things has totally changed. While many bands still release a single a few weeks before an album is released, no-one buys them any more! (Lets ignore the ultrapop boy band market now shall we?) Link to post Share on other sites
