It was late 1981 when The Human League released what would become the definitive synth-pop anthem: “Don’t You Want Me.” The curious thing is that the lead singer, Phil Oakey, detested the final mix; he considered it too “pop” and commercial, going so far as to relegate it to the bottom of side B of the album Dare. However, the vision of producer Martin Rushent and the masterful use of the Linn LM-1 drum machine created a piece of impeccable sonic architecture that reached number one in the UK Christmas season, marking the beginning of the “Second British Invasion.” 🎹🇬🇧
