80s Jams #38: The Human League "Seconds" (1981)

Dare! captures a moment in time perfectly -- the moment post-punk's robotic fascination with synthesizers met a clinical Bowiesque infatuation with fashion and modern art, including pop culture, plus a healthy love of songcraft. Dare! struck a chord with listeners who didn't like synth pop or the new romantics in 1981, and it still sounds startlingly original decades after its original release. -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kifqxq85ldse
