THE HUMAN LEAGUE: "Fascination"

   / Synth-Pop, UK          (posted in Danish 2011 Nov. 3rd)




In March 1983 the English Synth-Pop band The Human League released the single (Keep feeling) Fascination.

It was a song that never appeared on an album - the closest was the really cool EP  Fascination  released in the US.

The single came in 2nd place on the UK Singles Chart, no. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and no. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. For me, it stands as one of the better - if not the best 80's pop song ...






The red spot in the video is a part of the categorization system, the band used for a while on their discs... red label equals Dance-track, blue label equals Pop-track.

Because this video is from before the spread of computer graphics, they found a house that was to be demolished and painted the whole house, the car and part of the street red!

The track was written by the lead singer Philip Oakey in cooperation with Jo Callis, is heard elsewhere ago: In the PC game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (listen to the radio station wave 103), is on two soundtracks in advertising (i.a. Samsung smartphone) and a cartoon.
