THE HUMAN LEAGUE - REPRODUCTION

Well, what can we say ? This is it! This is the beginning of the modern Synthpop.When this album came out in 1979 it was a real shock for the audience. Huma League were the first to introduce a perfect mixture between col electronic and pop, as Kraftwerk did a couple of years before.
Human League were the pioneers of the new romantic british movement and this album is a sort of manifesto of the possibilities of synthetizzers. By this album several band believed that electronic music could be an accessible kind of music for the people. It was not a war on guitars but moreover, it was the man controlling the machine.
Enjoy this awesome album!

  1. Absolutely agree. I was sitting in a "new wavish" pub in Munich and it hit me like a shock: This was the music I had always waited for (having been a Kraftwerk fan since I heard Ruckzuck at the age of 11). This album and "Travelogue" definitely belong to the best pop (or slightly avant-pop) albums ever.
