Phil is one of that rare breed that sounds as good now as he did 40 years ago. Sheer class & Being Boiled is an absolute stone-cold synth classic. Full stop. End of story.
Used to work by Phils studio I woukd see his old Jag' parked outside his most days and it would have a parking ticket... Guess he couldn't be arsed paying for parking.... Love this song.
Remember when I was a 15 years old and Human Leagues Dare album came out 1981, we always loved the darker songs and we dived into this older record from HL, and we were instantly hooked by the Travelogue album, we had Philip Oakey haircuts too back in the time and we found our musical indenty with early Human League and early Kraftwerk, especially Trans Europe Express and the Radio aktivitet album ;). I'm 55 years old now and I'm still going to conserts and synth festivals ;)
Seen them live a couple of times in recent years and you cannot fully reproduce just how loud the synths are live... they literally go through. If you get the chance to see them live, do it, it's awesome
It has some of the same vipes. Being Boiled was released in May 1980 and Fade To Grey in November 1980. So perhaps Visage took some inspiration or it just has the same rhythm

For the sake of sanity, it's good to listen to 'Being Boiled" once a year on full blast 🙂

Why don't they come to America?
Fade to Gray dei Visage
Do I spot two Ultimate Support AX-90 keyboard stands?

Would make a great medley.

Why is Phil wearing an Anorak?.. is it raining?
Que tema alucinante 🤯, me encanta, estilo ochentero, lo conocí gracias a la serie en netflix llamada dark
A mi me paso lo mismo!!! si no miraba Dark, no me enteraba
the first electro funk song
This is New Wave not electro funk.
No
Any reason why the lead singer has a hood on? Must have been loads of disappointed fans!
It was only during this one track
Take it you don't know about the Human League??
watered down compared to heaven 17s version which btw were the original lineup in the early human league days before they broke out
Please, I hate seeing Glen sing Being Boiled. He has no business, it's Phillips lyrics and voice!
