  Splendid: Departments: &: The Human League: Live at the Dome
In 1979, David Bowie said, "Listening to The Human League is like listening to 1980." While this was clearly meant as a comment on the League's futuristic, groundbreaking synth-pop sound, a quarter of a century later it has taken on a different meaning.
What you get is seventeen songs, three or four camera angles, and The Human League stationed symmetrically on a sparsely decorated stage whose cool blue lights and white microphone stands suggest an obsession with retro-futurism (not the future Bowie probably envisioned for 2003).
While Human League fans would probably be happier with footage of the band from their prime, this concert shows that they haven't lost their way over the last few decades.

Synth pop's first international superstars, the Human League were among the earliest and most innovative bands to break into the pop mainstream on a wave of synthesizers and electronic rhythms, their marriage of infectious melodies and state-of-the-art technology proving enormously influential on countless acts following in their wake.
To the surprise of many, the Human League resurfaced in 1986 with Crash, produced by the duo of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; the plaintive lead single "Human" soon topped the U.S. charts, but the group failed to capitalize on its comeback success, disappearing from the charts for the remainder of the decade.

 The Human League: album reviews and ratings
"The Human League were purveyors of the synth-pop movement of the early 80's and Dare is their landmark album.
Sure the single 'Human' was their second #1 hit in the US after the glory of 'Don't you want me? ' in 1981, but the whole album is as dull and lame as the single itself.
The Human League seem desperate to re-capture the glory of "Dare".

 BBC - South Yorkshire Sense of Place - The Human League
If you're cool, you can dance and you want to be famous, try to be at your best when a local synth pop group have just lost two members and are in the same club as you.
This was to be the League's lasting legacy, although some would argue that they were among a small number of bands whose influence made the 80's the musical wasteland that it was.
Instead of trying to keep up with the latest effects the 1998 tour gave them a platform on which cheese, androgyny and excessive keyboards were not only accepted but necessary.

 The Human League: Live at the Dome DVD Reviewed on AudioVideoRevolution.com
The Human League has lasted a lot longer than many of the other synthesizer collectives from the ‘80s, primarily because Philip Oakey, Susan Anne Sulley and Joanne Catherall sing real songs, instead of merely creating ear-catching sounds.
Even though it’s been nearly a half a decade since the last Human League studio album, titled “Secrets, was released, the group is still brave enough to perform three songs from it on this live project.
You might expect “Human” to come at the very end of the set, but here it is presented as just the tenth song in.

Earlier albums, such as the League's own "Travelouge" and "Reproduction" (also remastered and reissued recently in the US with great lost singles and b sides), and albums by Kraftwerk, Caberat Voltiare and others explored what you could do with synths.
Certainly, The Human League took a strong nod from Kraftwerk, but whereas that group's sound was far more "synthesized," The Human League did as their name tells us and added a much more human factor to the element.
While there were many groups in England at about the same time creating a similar sound, it was The Human League that really were the first out the gate with the most fully realized, fully formed elaborate orchestrations of synthesizers and slick vocals.

 Human League 80's Band Information
The Human League was founded in 1977 by Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware, neither of whom had any formal musical experience.
Both were computer operators who saw a future for electronic music, and had a desire to be a part of that future.
Instead of scrapping the Human League's upcoming tour, Oakey called friend Ian Burden to fill in on bass and keyboards, and added Joanne Catherall and Susanne Sulley to sing back-up, dance, and distract attention from the overall lack of music.

 Human League
Originally a post punk synthesiser based group from Sheffield, the "Human League" (previously known as the "Future") released their first single, "Being Boiled" c/w "Circus Of Death" on Bob Last's ''Fast Product'' record label in 1978.
Their first single to chart was 'Empire State Human', which peaked at number 62 in the charts.
When Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware left to form Heaven 17 it seemed that Phil Oakey and Adrian Wright, the sole remaining group members, would be unable to sustain the band, which, just before the split, was beginning to achieve wider popularity.

I must admit I was looking forward to the second CD of remixes, but bar a couple of exceptions, it had me crawling back to the originals with my tail between my legs.
With electroclash and analogue synth sounds back in vogue, the only thing that separates their earliest material (some of which dates back to the late 70s!) from the likes of Tomcraft are the drum patterns and that famous Baritone.
This is possibly the 3rd or 4th compilation of Hits by the League, but even so the digital remastering of non-album material and the extra bonus CD make this indispensible.
