Before they became the synth-pop Abba, The Human League were a bunch of
sci-fi electronics geeks from Sheffield. Their live shows were
accompanied with slide shows and ex-Hospital porter Phil Oakey would
swing his magnificent fringe to the steam hammer thump of drums
programmed on their Roland System 100, the first two albums contain no
drum machines or 'real' instruments at all. In spite of being
name-checked in The Undertones 'My Perfect Cousin' as the archetypal
late 70's art school band the 'League were magnificently and grumpily
Northern. 'The Path of Least Resistance' captures them brilliantly in
this phase, welcome to the future ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be
a bumpy ride!
