Additional Info : Often credited to The Human League, this track was technically by The Men, who were in actual fact The Human League. Virgin had just signed the band and wanted a "hit", which up till that point the band hadn't really provided. As a compromise the band agreed to release this track, under the pseudonym of "The Men". In a stunningly prescient moment, this track by THL Mk I was a portent of what was to come with THL Mk II. Although to be honest, there's no incarnation of The Human League that I don't love. Ian Burden was going to play Bass Guitar on this track, but it was a last minute rush, so I decided to utilise his talents on other songs for the Subculture album (see Overdrive feat Ian Burden). Mo Foster played the bass on this track originally, and I spent several hours analysing the bassline and recreating every nuance, albeit in synthetic form. This involved a lot of pitch bending and modulation. I hope you enjoy it! If you'd like to hear the original 12" version, you can listen to it on this amazing website >> Burning The Ground (thanks Paul!) |
