This album is really nice. Every song is worth while listening. Actually to be honest; I bought it for 'Electric Dreams' because of the 12 inch mixes that are bonus here. The original album is just over 30 minutes, so the bonus tracks bring this re-release for over 60 minutes. The remastering is the second reason why I want it. Mine is not copy controlled! ;-) Pretty hard searching ...

The collaboration of Philip Oakey of The Human League and producer Giorgio Moroder is the slicker side of technopop. Moroder gives Oakey a smoother, more dance-oriented sound, and it is a bit different than the HL albums. The first part is a segue-mix of 4 songs [plus an intro] that all share the same beat. If you have heard 'Goodbye Bad Times' you pretty much know what the rest of the album sounds like. The classic 'Electric Dreams' is really the best song on the album. The other songs are a bit 'words over dance beat' compositions, but still good. It is one of my favorite albums, and really the best album work of Oakey other than 'Dare' with HL. Since it is on CD now, with the 12 inch remixes, by all means but it now, before it goes away!

This is an unique album. Just a moment in the 80s, the perfect know-how of techno-pop. And a film "Together in Electric Dreams" whoo!!what a memories !!!! the high school, my girlfriend and me, a radio and that song... together in electric dreams, when we were sixteen or seventeenes.
This new enhanced CD is total with three singles in 12'version and istrumental, it's great !

Album único, un momento en los 80, el perfecto saber hacer del tecno-pop.Qué tiempos, una película,el instituto, mi novia y yo, la radio y aquella canciónn, juntos en aquel sueño eléctrico, cuando teníamos 16 ó 17 años.
Este nuevo CD ampliado es total, con tres singles en versión maxi e instrumental, es genial !The Very Best of the Human League

Wow. This album isn't as good as Philip Oakey's work as front man for The Human League, but this release blows the original's release away. The cover art is totally redone (beautiful). The songs are louder & clearer with some really great remixes added. The only real dud song on this one is "Be My Lover Now", which was a single, but always seemed VERY cheesy to me (even for The Human League).
