  2. "Human" is a song by the English #synthpop band #theHumanLeague, released as the lead single from their fifth studio album, #Crash (1986). The track, which deals with the subject of #infidelity, was written and produced by #JimmyJamAndTerryLewis. The song topped the charts of the United States, becoming the band's second single to top the #Billboard Hot 100 after their 1981 single "#DontYouWantMe".

  3. Moin.
    Mein Highlight letzte Woche war dieses Video, in dem Alex Ball mit viel Mühe, Hingabe und Synthnerdusiasm die Produktion von "Don't You Want Me" nachbaut. Das erklärt vielleicht auch, warum es mir damals so schwer fiel, den Song auf dem C64 im Soundmonitor nachzuspielen. 😅

    Wer nicht alles anschauen möchte: ein spannendes Detail bei ca. Minute 11 und der komplette Track am Ende bei 20:30, mit Sängerin Mishkin Fitzgerald.
    👏☺️

  5. The social class and wealth disparity between the 80's British synth pop acts and their European idols from a decade earlier has always astonished me. Good to see Martyn Ware make it explicit.
