Niaj hnub no, zaj nkauj thiab nws cov yeeb yaj kiab nco txog tseem tau txais kev ua yeeb yam tsis tu ncua, tab sis thaum lub sijhawm pab pawg tau tshaj tawm tsis kam tso txoj kev raws li ib leeg, uas tshwm sim nyob rau hauv lawv 1981 breakthrough album Tsaus.

Kev vam meej ntawm "Tsis Koj Xav Tau Kuv" ob qho tib si hauv UK (qhov twg nws tau dhau los mus rau tus lej thib ib hauv lub Kaum Ob Hlis 1981) thiab Asmeskas tau sib sau ua ke muaj koob meej thiab rov qab los ntawm Sheffield-based band. Ua ntej yuav sau cov twv album, Tib Neeg Pab Koomtes, uas tsim nyob rau hauv 1977, yog nyob rau hauv ib tug crossroads: lub band thawj ob cov ntaub ntawv, Tu tub tu kiv (1979) thiab Lus piav qhia (1980), tsis tau ua ib qho kev lag luam tseem ceeb. Xyoo 1980, ob tug tswv cuab ntawm thawj pawg thawj coj, Martyn Ware thiab Ian Craig Marsh, tawm hauv pab pawg thiab tom qab ntawd tsim Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej 17, tawm hauv tus neeg hu nkauj Philip Oakey thiab keyboardist Adrian Wright mus txuas ntxiv. Txhawm rau ua kom poob ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm, Oakey thiab Wright tau tsim kho pab pawg los ntawm kev ntxiv keyboardist / bassist Ian Burden thiab, qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, cov neeg hu nkauj Joanne Catherall thiab Susan Ann Sulley.

Callis, leej twg yuav sau ob peb ntawm Human League cov nkauj nrov, kuj tau koom nrog pawg tshiab uas tau teeb tsa; yav dhau los nws tau ua si guitar rau Scottish punk / New Wave band lub Rezillos, uas tau qhia ib daim nqi nrog thawj Pab Koomtes ntawm London's Music Machine venue hauv 1978.

Thaum Callis tau txais kev hu mus koom nrog Human League tom qab tawm ntawm Ware thiab Marsh, nws tau hloov los ntawm guitars mus rau synths, tom qab uas nws tsis muaj kev paub ntau nrog. Nws piav tias "Kuv tau ua si guitar ib pliag," nws piav qhia. "Lub guitar pib ua me ntsis unfashionable rau qee qhov laj thawj thaum pib ntawm 80s. Tsis yog vim li ntawd, tab sis kuv tsuas yog xav tias kuv xav sim kuv txhais tes ntawm lwm yam. Kuv nyuam qhuav hnov ​​me ntsis jaded ua si [tus guitar]. Nws yuav luag zoo li koj zaum sau ib zaj nkauj thiab nws zoo li qub peb lossis plaub chords cia li tawm tuaj txhua lub sijhawm. Thiab kuv xav tias tej zaum kuv yuav tsum sim thiab kawm lossis khaws lwm yam cuab yeej. "

Ironically, nws yog yav dhau los Human League tus tswv cuab Ware, tam sim no nrog Saum Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej 17, uas tau qhia Callis yuav ua li cas nrog cov neeg siv khoom sib txuas. "Martyn Ware tau siv sijhawm ib hnub nrog kuv hauv lub studio thiab nws tau qhia kuv cov hauv paus ntawm kev ua haujlwm me ntsis analog synthesizer thiab cov khoom zoo li ntawd, uas yog qhov zoo ntawm nws. Nws muaj kev sib tw heev thaum lub sijhawm, Pab Koomtes Tib Neeg tshiab no thiab lub ntuj tawg 17. Kuv tau kawm txog qhov tseem ceeb. Kuv tsis yog keyboard player los ntawm ib qho kev nthuav dav ntawm kev xav, tab sis kuv paub cov chords. Thiab Martyn tau qhia kuv ib co ntawm cov hluav taws xob sab ntawm lub synthesizer zoo li: 'qhov no yog oscillator,' 'qhov no yog lub hnab ntawv.' Nws yog me ntsis zoo li science ntawv tseeb, zoo li kev kawm tag nrho cov faders thiab pob qhov rooj thiab tej yam ua rau cov suab txawv txawv no. "

Hauv kev koom tes nrog tus tsim tawm Martin Rushent, Human League tau pib ua haujlwm ntawm qhov yuav ua li cas twv album ntawm Genetic Studios hauv Streatley, England. Ntawm cov txheej txheem ua suab paj nruag, Callis nco qab tias: “Qhov uas tau tshwm sim thaum xub thawj yog Philip thiab Ian, lawv tau mus rau hauv lub studio thaum nruab hnub thiab kuv tus kheej thiab Adrian yuav mus rau yav tsaus ntuj. Adrian yuav muaj ntau lub tswv yim tab sis nws tsis muaj nws tus kheej tswj kom zoo mus. Yog li peb yuav ua si kuv ntau lub tswv yim uas nws muaj thiab kuv yuav xaiv cov uas kuv xav tias muaj peev xwm lossis tau cog lus. Kuv yuav mus, 'Qhov ntawd yog ib qho nthuav heev, thiab qhov ntawd yog ib qho nthuav heev. Cia peb ua haujlwm rau cov ntawd.' Peb cia li mus rau hauv lub studio yav tsaus ntuj thiab pib tinkering txog.

"Kuv yuav ua si Adrian lub tswv yim, muab chords rau lawv. Peb yeej ib txwm muaj lub npe thiab qee cov lus pib. Heev feem ntau, peb yuav ua hauj lwm rau ib yam dab tsi hmo ntuj thiab peb tawm tag nrho cov teeb nyob rau hauv lub studio. Qhov ntawd yog ua ntej computers thiab MIDI. Yog li txhua yam tau txuas nrog, ib yam ua rau lwm tus. Nws yog tag nrho cov haphazard heev. Tab sis peb xav tau ib yam dab tsi mus, thiab tom qab ntawd peb yuav ntim rau hmo ntuj thiab rov qab mus tsev, thiab Filis thiab Ian yuav los rau hnub tom qab thiab tau txais txhua yam mus thiab yuav luag tuaj tos qhov chaw peb tawm mus."

Hauv kev rov qab los, kev siv thev naus laus zis ntawm lub sijhawm thiab Rushent cov txheej txheem tsim khoom tau zoo heev thaum lub sijhawm ua. twv. Callis hais tias, “Kuv xav tias [Rushent] muaj thawj lub nruas Linn, nws yog hnub ntxov heev,” Callis hais tias, “Muaj ob peb lub tshuab nruas txog qhov ntawd, tab sis Linn nruas yog hom kev ua si hloov pauv. Nws yog cov suab digital hauv [nws] me nyuam mos ntawm txhua hom kev kaw lus digital lossis qauv. Yog li ntawm no koj muaj lub tshuab no koj tuaj yeem ua haujlwm ... uas suab zoo li lub nruas tiag tiag es tsis yog cov tshuab hluav taws xob-y suab nruas, uas peb nyiam thiab. Thiab tseem Roland MC 4, uas yog zoo li lub programmable sequencer. Nws yog txhua yam ntawm kev ua lej heev vim tias koj tau programming hauv txoj kev lej yuav luag. "

Sab nraud ntawm cov thev naus laus zis, muaj cov neeg hu nkauj Catherall thiab Sulley tau ua pov thawj tseem ceeb hauv Human League txoj kev hloov pauv los ntawm cov khoom siv hluav taws xob hauv av mus rau cov suab paj nruag tseem ceeb. Ob leeg Catherall thiab Sulley yog cov tub ntxhais kawm ntawv uas Oakey pom ua las voos ib hmos ntawm ib lub club thiab caw lawv los koom nrog pab pawg. Callis hais txog ob tug poj niam: "Qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm qhov ntawd yog, thiab kuv hlub lawv ob leeg rau hnub no: lawv yuav luag zoo li muab rau koj qhov kev xav ntawm cov tub ntxhais hluas cov kiv cua thaum lub sijhawm ntawd, yog li lawv tau hnov ​​​​zoo mloog rau ib zaj nkauj. . Yog lawv hais tias, 'Auj, zaj nkauj no zoo heev. Yog lawm, peb yuav tsum ua qhov no thiab ua kom tiav,' koj coj lawv cov lus rau nws vim tias lawv zoo li xav txog cov neeg tuaj saib hnub nyoog uas yuav tawm mus yuav khoom thaum hnub kawg. Kuv xav tias lawv tau muaj lub hom phiaj zoo tiag tiag ntawm qhov khoom. "

Thiab Adrian tau fiddling txog ib yam dab tsi ntawm ib tug synthesizer, uas yog kiag li nonsensical. Koj tuaj yeem hle qee cov ntawv sau tawm thiab syncopate uas thiab nws yuav muaj me ntsis yuav luag ntawm Latin zawj rau nws, uas yog lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav rau nws. Thiab tom qab ntawd kuv yuav tuaj nrog cov kab bass thaj tsam thiab chords thiab tej yam zoo li ntawd rau nws.
