Synth-pop's first international stars, The Human League was formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977 by synth players Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh. Originally recording as The Future the two were soon joined by vocalist Phil Oakey and 'Director of Visuals' Adrian Wright. After two seminal albums, 'Reproduction' and 'Travelogue' - the latter including the famous 'Being Boiled' - Marsh and Ware split from the band, founding Heaven 17. Oakey and Wright continued The Human League, with Wright having to learn how to play the synthesizer, while Phil Oakey recruited the then 17-year old schoolgirls Joanne Catherall and Susanne Sulley as additional vocalists. What followed was the group's most successful period, with classic singles such as 1981's 'Don't You Want Me' topping the charts in the UK.

What can be said about the return of Sheffield synth legends The Human League, a decade after their last album? Well, 'Credo' doesn't hold a candle to 'Dare' (or in fact the seminal 'Reproduction'), but it's not that bad either, only slightly marred by overproduction and offering some quite snappy songs. Check.
