Travelogue.

Review Score: (10/10)
I'd like to defend electronic music. Human League is often ridiculed and considered sub-par as far as rock and roll goes. Synth driven music is just as viable as other genres. Human League has proven over the years that they are among the best synth bands around, right up there with Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, OMD and others. I have all eight studio cds from Human League and while their 1981 Dare cd is what most fans and critics will tell you to buy, I think 1995's Octopus is just as good. Octopus has great songs like "Tell Me When", "These Are The Days", "One Man In My Heart", "Filling Up With Heaven", "House Full Of Nothing" and "Cruel Young Lover." Human League can make Madonna's Ray of Light excursion look like child's play. While Human League aren't noted for their depth in lyric, their music makes up for it. Octopus has great, catchy melodies. Great synth pop never sounded better. A must have for any rock collector.
