5 Classic Albums [Import]

• Track Listing

Synth-pop trailblazers Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh left Human League in 1980, forming this electro-funk group with singer Glenn Gregory and debuting with the 1981 LP "Penthouse and Pavement." Synths and programmed beats share the grooves with funky guitars and slap bass on that album and the ones that came next: "The Luxury Gap" (their biggest triumph, a #4 UK platinum seller), "How Men Are," "Pleasure One" and "Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho." Those 1981–88 LPs feature the UK hits "(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thing," "Play to Win," "Penthouse and Pavement," "Let Me Go" (also a U.S. hit), "Temptation," "Come Live with Me," "Crushed by the Wheels of Industry," "Sunset Now," "This Is Mine," "And That’s No Lie," "Contenders," "Trouble" and more!
