This
section offers MP3 files of early recordings by The Future and The
Human League which were made before the League signed to Virgin
and are currently commercially unavailable.
|
If
you do not have an MP3 player with which to play these files, you
can download one for free from here.
|
Alternatively,
if you have RealPlayer or RealJukebox installed and use a 28K (or
higher) modem, you can listen to a forty-second RealAudio excerpt
of each track by selecting 'Preview'. If you need a RealPlayer,
download the latest version of RealPlayer Basic for free here.

Martyn
Ware has very kindly allowed the following demo recordings to be
included on Blind Youth, so that fans may download them for their
own private use. Martyn asks that the files are not used for commercial
gain, so please respect his wishes or the files may have to be removed
from the site. Thanks.

| There
are two versions of each MP3. The first in each case is a straight
copy from the source cassette, with some background hiss. The second
has some changes to the EQ, mainly to the 'top end' (or 'treble'),
in an attempt to reduce the background hiss a little. The second versions
are also louder and have increased stereo widening to slightly enhance
clarity. All MP3s are encoded at 128kb. The RealAudio previews are
based on the first version of each MP3. All file lengths and sizes
are approximate. |
| To
download the preferred version, simply click on the appropriate link.
If this does not work for you, try right-clicking on the link and
selecting either "Save Target As" (if you use Internet Explorer)
or "Save Link As" (if you use a Netscape browser). Then,
specify where on your computer you wish to save the MP3. |

| Above
is what's thought to be the first recording of Dance Like A Star
- listen to a RealAudio excerpt of the second recording, featuring
Philip's hilarious ranting introduction here. |
| (Note:
the first version of each MP3 is located on a different server to
the second version. Therefore, if you have difficulty downloading
one version of a track, you may wish to try the other version instead.)
|
|
Since these songs were made available on this site, each of the tracks
has been commercially released on the Dance
Like A Star EP or The
Golden Hour Of The Future (Black Melody). These releases offer
superior sound quality to these mp3s, and you are advised to seek
them out! |
