Human League, “The Lebanon (12” Mix)”
In which synthpop tackles political bloodshed and the Edge. One of the latest comments on this video says “it’s better than the music now. fuck corporate deathpop.” but I think it would be more accurate to write “It’s better than the music now, fuck! Corporate Deathpop!”
This is a) a great record and b) the reason almost no UK pop stars tried “political” songs for the rest of the decade.
