Description
"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 their wake. The group was formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977 by synth players Marty Ware and Ian Mash, who'd previously teamed as the duo Dead Daughters; following a brief tenure as the Future, they rechristened themselves the Human League after enlisting vocalist Philip Oakey. The trio soon recorded a demo, and played their first live dates; they soon tapped Adrian Wright as their 'Director of Visuals,' and his slide shows quickly became a key component of their performances."- allmusic.com
