Caroline. 2003.

 I always wanted to have it. February 22, 2009
I always wanted to have it, since I was a very young man. When I listened to the Special remix of "Don't you want me" this one became one of my lifetime favorites. Now I have it, I'm very happy and the sound is very good.
 Machines feel music too January 31, 2009

I have to compare "Dare" with making love to a robot, which I imagine would be cold, alienating, uncomfortable, and eventually haunting. But it would also be interesting, and there might even be some art to it. The same goes for "Dare." I'm struck by the fact that "Seconds" produces what I assume is synthetic emotion, yet I'm also genuinely comforted by "Don't You Want Me," THE anthem of synth pop, which feels a little less robotic and a little more cyborg-esque. Additionally, Susanne Sulley sings on that one, a pleasant break from Philip Oakley, who sounds like a jerk most of the time--though I'm sure he's a nice guy in reality. In a non-artificial reality. In that same non-artificial reality, "Dare" is worthy as an artifact and as a warning, even if its merits as music--a human invention, lest the machines should forget--are open to debate.
Buy it for the original album, the second CD is lame January 18, 2008

Dare is a great album and 'the things that dreams are made of', 'sound of the crowd' and 'don't you want me...' still sound great. But the added CD is lame - dull remixes that shouldn't be the motivation for buying.
"The edge of Seventeen" May 12, 2007
I was just about to turn seventeen when this lp came out of nowhere and blew the cookie cutter mold of music formats out of the ballpark. This album arrived at the dawn of the new wave, original MTV period that spawned a whole slew of bands that have become the nucleus of the '80's" retro movement STILL currently popular. What a joy to have songs of my favorite summer remastered and digitized. And as an added bonus, to have one of the first remixed albums, "Love and Dancing", included on the same disc. This is a fantastic reintroduction to the Human League and their landmark album. There is so much more great music here beyond "Don't you want me" included here in it's full length original club mix. Many of the remixes that are included are ONLY available on this disc and not on the other million or so 80's compilations. Fall in love all over again, buy now and relive the magic.
Excellent double CD January 17, 2007
2 excellent CDs for the price of 1. I couldn't find this in any store, and finally found it on Amazon. I highly recommend it.
