Our Take

The Human League: pioneers of synth-pop, masters of the electronic groove, and secret-keepers extraordinaire. With their Half-Speed Master Edition of "Secrets", they invite us to dive into their world of pulsating synths, catchy hooks, and enigmatic lyrics.

From the opening track "All I Ever Wanted", you can't help but be drawn in by Phil Oakey's unmistakeably cool vocals and the band's signature blend of bouncy beats and dreamy melodies. It's like being transported to a neon-lit dance floor in the heart of the 80s, with every keyboard riff and drum machine pulse urging you to move your feet.

On "Love Action (I Believe In Love)", the Human League showcase their knack for crafting infectious pop anthems that simultaneously make you ponder the complexities of human relationships. The sheer catchiness of the chorus is enough to have you singing along at the top of your lungs, while the underlying layer of melancholy adds a touch of depth to the proceedings.

But it's on tracks like "Seconds", with its eerie electronic atmospherics and haunting vocals, that the band truly shines. The slow build of tension and release feels like a musical rollercoaster ride, taking you on a journey through their twisted, intriguing world of sound.

In conclusion, "Secrets" is a timeless classic that deserves to be rediscovered and savoured in all its half-speed glory. The Human League may have kept their secrets hidden for decades, but now is the time to uncover the magic they've been holding onto for so long. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

The Human League

Human League - Synthpop Pioneers or Just a Bunch of '80s Relics? Ah, The Human League. The pioneers of synthpop have been gracing our ears since the late '70s, with their infectious hits and iconic electronic sound. But are they still relevant in today's music scene, or are they just a relic of the '80s, like a forgotten pair of leg warmers? Formed in Sheffield in 1977, The Human League quickly rose to fame with their breakthrough album "Dare" in 1981, which gave us the timeless classics "Don't You Want Me" and "Love Action". Their unique blend of catchy melodies and cutting-edge synth sounds set them apart from their peers, and cemented their place in music history. But fast forward to 2021, and the question remains: are The Human League still a force to be reckoned with? Well, their recent album "Credo" may not have set the charts on fire, but tracks like "Night People" and "Never Let Me Go" prove that they still have that magic touch when it comes to creating infectious pop tunes. Sure, their hairstyles may have changed (we miss those iconic mullets!), and their fashion sense may have evolved (thank god for that!), but one thing remains constant: The Human League are a band that knows how to make us dance, cry, and everything in between. So, next time you're feeling nostalgic for the '80s, or just fancy a good old-fashioned synthpop fix, why not give The Human League a spin? Who knows, you might just rediscover why they were one of the most influential bands of the decade.
