The new Richard X vs Kelis single that cunningly mixes the League's 'The Things That Dreams Are Made Of' with the SOS Band's 'Finest' has now been added to BBC Radio One's A-List.
Currently receiving rave reviews, 'Finest Dreams' should easily hit the Top 10 or higher.
Richard X's last single 'Being Nobody' (also containing League samples in the form of 'Being Boiled') hit number 3 whilst his single with the Sugababes 'Freak Like Me' (containing music based upon 'Are Friends Electric?') reached number one in 2002.
Richard X interviewed Phil Oakey this week for Attitude magazine and the full, unedited transcript will hopefully be appearing exclusively on Secrets Online shortly.
The Human League's former record label Virgin is soon to release a new Greatest Hits CD together with an eagerly awaited digitally remastered DVD that will include most of the singles.
Virgin are currently working very closely with the League on some of the DVD extras.
The confirmed tracklisting for CD1 of the 'Very Best Of' is as follows:
1. Don't You Want Me
2. Love Action (I Believe In Love)
3. Open Your Heart
4. The Sound Of The Crowd
5. Mirror Man
6. (Keep Feeling) Fascination
7. The Lebanon
8. Life On Your Own
9. Together In Electric Dreams
10. Louise
11. Human
12. Heart Like A Wheel
13. Tell Me When
14. One Man In My Heart
15. All I Ever Wanted
16. Being Boiled
17. Empire State Human
