I love music but I’m no musician. I’m constantly in awe at the skill of all the artists featured here on this blog and wish with all my heart that I was half as talented as them. But one day I had an idea for a concept album and thought that perhaps half a talent might just be enough. And so I set about producing my own remix album.

Below is the complete album “Entropically Yours…. The Pansentient League” in a new remastered and remixed form. It features twelve of my Human League remixes, blended and sequenced into a science-fiction adventure that tells the story of a young universe growing up, birthing stars and sentience, then inexorably heading towards oblivion. Will entropy win, or will the league of humans and pan-sentients prevail? Find out in the next hour!

Sleeve Notes

This album was hand-made using Adobe Audition and not much else. Many tracks are laced with samples from 1980s British science fiction shows like Doctor Who, Blake’s 7 and Sapphire & Steel. For each track, my aim was to feature a piece from every available remix for that particular song. This way each mix could act as a promotional trailer for the full versions, as well as cover up the fact that I didn’t even have my own synthesizer :p

If you’ve only ever heard one or two songs by The Human League you might find this tribute album a  little surprising. You’ll definitely find it a bit bizarre, even if you do know the band’s work.

Feedback from Human League fans was fantastic, I never imagined this little project would be so warmly received. My remix of Darkness was a minor hit on YouTube and I was especially pleased when my mix of Circus Of Death opened a DJ’s set at the Marquee Club in Leicester Square.
