Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder (one of the greatest producers of all time) recorded an album together in 1985. The song "Together In Electric Dreams" was recorded for the movie 'Electric Dreams' and was a major hit and is included on a handful of Human League greatest hits. The follow up was "Goodbye Bad Times" which is an amazing song and a lot better in my opinion. The album as a whole was not all that bad and included a few other noteable tracks such as "Why Must The Show Go On", "Brand New Love" and "Be My Lover Now". This album was re-released with bonus tracks in 2003, wow it seems like yesterday I remember when this was first released and was very excited to see on CD again with all the extended versions.

I don't know but I sure like the track.

I finally watched Electric Dreams for the first time the other day (thanks to the internet and edonkey). It's pretty simple, but I like it. Hoping for a DVD release soon.

Here's the video for Electric Dreams that I leeched from somewhere:

Electric Dreams did very well is Australia. I'd class the title tune as a hit, though I don't have any top 10 stats handy.

Thanks for re-sharing that video. I posted it on my musicblog. I hope you don't mind.
