Yeah, Secrets is awesome, and sadly much overlooked.

I guess The Human League just keep on doing what they do best, releasing synthpop. :-)

I got tickets for their Amsterdam concert in 2 weeks, can't wait!

Thanks for the news, Human League is one of my fave bands and I never heard any track of those. Marco, you will have to tell us the Amsterdam concert, I know people who have seen them in concert last year and they say was brilliant.

Don't worry, I'll post a review afther the concert, and I'll try to take some nice pictures. They say the concert is a mix of old (even stuff like The Circus) and new material, so I say, bring it on! :)

You know the thing about Human League, is that throughout the years, they consistantly put out great synthpop albums, and they stick tho their sound...Theres definately a particular sound to them you can't mistake...Marco you're so lucky to be able to see them live...The only opportunity I had was back in 1998 when they were supposed to open up for Culture Club but backed out of the U.S. portion of the tour...Have fun at the show!!! :D

I must say the track I am MOST looking forward to hearing is the "Once Upon a Time in the West". This is a remake of the theme song from the movie of the same name. I have to tell you that the music in that movie ROCKED. I don't know which was cooler, the eerie harmonica at the beginning, or the electric guitars which just cut through everything like a knife.

For a bit of background, Once Upon a Time in the West was done by Ennio Morricone, who also did the music for "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and other westerns. Way cool music. Click here for sound clips: http://store.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,141269,00.html

I would be keen on hearing what the classic league did to this!
