Hired for stage appeal as blokes on keyboards were boring.

just started. track 2 Dare. spookyIt's true that they went from edgy, "being boiled"
to smooth "open your heart"
But were never both.

First two official HL albums are gothic techno masterpieces, a natural follow on from The Future material. All William Burrows and JG Ballard influences with cheap synths and bedroom production .I can totally see why they went pop/dancefloor - else they would have just followed the trajectory of Cabaret Voltaire and just kept selling records to the same people over and over. What a great legacy of music Sheffield has eh?

I can recall a sudden craze for Phil Oakey 'over 1 eye' hairstyles after those totp appearances, usually in remote outposts like Whaley bridge, where kids went in to Manchester or Sheffield once a week and returned sporting the most daft attire they saw in the big city! I wonder how many of them walked into lampposts or missed the bus due to impaired vision?

Smooth, a little edgy.
Like early human league
So glad this worked out. Really lovely bike. Do you need to book for a bike in advance?

I was once at a birthday party where Phil Oakey was in attendance, as his girlfriend was a friend of someone I knew. He’s quite a shy bloke by all accounts. Maybe that’s why he went for a haircut that covered half his face - or maybe it’s just because it was the 80s
