Biography
Sheffield, United Kingdom (1977 – present)
Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh were both working as computer programmers in 1977, and combined a love of pop music (such as glam rock and Tamla Motown) with avant garde electronic music. They acquired a Roland System 100 synthesizer and began to create music in their own rehearsal facility. Initially they formed a group called The Dead Daughters, which then became The Future with Adi Newton on vocals. Newton was soon dismissed and left to form the outfit Clock DVA. Ware and Marsh searched for a vocalist, but their first choice, Glenn Gregory (who would be the lead singer of their later band, Heaven 17), was unavailable. Ware instead decided to invite Philip Oakey, an old school friend, and a hospital porter at the time to join the band, “apparently by leaving a note stuck to his door”. Oakey accepted the invitation, despite never having been in a band before. Shortly after, they decided to call themselves The Human League. A collection of demos from this period was released on CD in 2002, titled The Golden Hour of The Future, compiled by Richard X.

I quite enjoy Credo, yes indeed a good album. But their older hits still have a massive place within my heart.

I agree "Credo" and "Secrets" are excellent.

Guys, give Credo a listen/chance. It's pretty darn good! Big Human League/Phil fan. Secrets is amazing as well.

I first heard Travelogue soon after it was released, and it blew me away. It remains a dense classic. To be honest, the subsequent Dare! kinda pissed me off. After that they chased the same sort of success.

I like their earlier material better. Its not as dated as Dare!, as great an album that is. 'W.X.J.L. Tonight', that's all I have to say.

Travelogue is such a dark massive robotic synth monolith of an album. My favorite stuff by THL by far.
