Octopus (The Human League Album)
''Octopus'' is the seventh full-length studio album recorded by the British synthpop band The Human League. It was produced by the former Tears for Fears keyboard player Ian Stanley and released by EastWest Records in 1995. It was the first new album from The Human League in five years after the termination of their long-term contract with Virgin Records. ''Octopus'' was the first Human League album that presented the band as a trio consisting of the singers Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley. The former Human League member Jo Callis and keyboard player Neil Sutton also contributed to the writing of the album. The album's sound is notable for almost exclusively featuring analog synthesizer, analogue synthesizers, a marked change from the band's primarily "digital" sound in the mid-to-late 1980s. Background The album saw a return to the public eye for the band, who had been out of the top ten since their 1986 album ''Crash (The Human League album), Crash''. Band ...

Romantic?
''Romantic?'' is the sixth studio album by English synth-pop band the Human League. It was issued by Virgin Records in 1990 and was the band's first album of new material in four years. ''Romantic?'' had several producers, most notably Martin Rushent, who worked with the Human League on their biggest commercial success (1981's ''Dare'') and had walked out of the recording sessions for its 1984 follow-up (''Hysteria''). Also producing several tracks is Mark Brydon, who would be one half of musical duo Moloko several years later. At the time of the album's release, the Human League had reached the nadir of a decline in popularity following the success of ''Dare'' nine years prior; this fall from grace was reflected in the song "The Stars Are Going Out," in which the band reflects upon their loss of fame and its impact on them. The song one writer called a "pointless and bland filler," was ditched as a potential third single. The album signalled a critical and commercial low point ...

Hysteria (The Human League Album)
''Hysteria'' is the fourth studio album by English synth-pop band The Human League, released on 7 May 1984 by Virgin Records. Following the worldwide success of their 1981 album ''Dare'', the band struggled to make a successful follow-up and the sessions for ''Hysteria'' were fraught with problems. The album title itself is taken from the problematic recording period. Producers Martin Rushent and Chris Thomas both left the project which would eventually be finished by producer Hugh Padgham. ''Hysteria'' attained relatively lacklustre success in comparison to its multi-platinum predecessor. Three singles from the album reached the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, and " The Lebanon" was the only single to chart in the United States, peaking at number 64 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The album peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting shipments in excess of 100,000 copies.
