Album Notes
1 LP and 1 EP on 1 CD: DARE! (1982)/LOVE AND DANCING EP.It isn't overstating the case to call the Human League's third album synthpop's SGT. PEPPER; not only did DARE! establish synthesizers as a viable musical tool on the US charts, it redefined what people thought of electronic pop. No longer did synth bands have to sound like Kraftwerk or Throbbing Gristle. There are no guitars on DARE! but it's emphatically a pop record. Phil Oakey's gruff vocals blend surprisingly well with the untrained, girlish voices of new backing vocalists Susanne Sulley and Joanne Catherall, and the electronic melodies are expertly rendered by producer Martin Rushent into three-dimensional pop extravaganzas. Musically witty and unfailingly exciting, tracks like "Love Action," "Open your Heart," "Sound of the Crowd" and of course "Don't You Want Me" are as catchy as pop got in 1981, and darker tracks like "Seconds" and "Do Or Die" add depth. DARE! is a brilliant album even today.

The glorious 80s!!

Created: 22/02/08
If you want a CD which reminds you of the early 80s, weird haircuts, and men in makeup (some of them!!), then this is it.

The Human League at their best - and still fresh today!! At last I got round to replacing my vinyl version.

It might be my failing hearing, but this is one CD which I think sounds better with the passage of time.

Enjoy.

The human league - Dare cd

Created: 10/09/08
I first purchased this on vinyl in 1981 at the age of 9, and it is still absolutely brilliant all these years later! I purchased the cd so that my teenage children could learn to appreciate it the way I do, and it did not take them long, being fans of the mighty boosh they are open to anything electro. Every track brilliant, my son and I sharing a favourite of 'the things that dreams are made of, and my daughter's favourite being 'I am the law'. Worth every penny.
