    Classic song, innovative and dark as ****. Hard to believe this is the same band that released Don't You Want Me (which isn't a bad song, but it's basically cabaret compared to this) just a few years after, goes to show what a few line-up changes can do.

      Editing … It's pretty obscure, it was basically before the Human League really started having hits.

      Editing … Agreed. It's interesting how Phil Oakey always went on about Kraftwerk and how they were as important as the Beatles... well, why on earth did he let *his* band turn into a cheesy pop troupe then, when they could have been just as great?!
