I recently found the stems for this on the other site, so I thought I would share the demo version as an insight into the creative process Incidentally, the song and album topped both the US & UK album and singles charts when it was released in the early 80's. It is considered to be a ground breaking track that pushed synthesizers into the pop mainstream.

The main point is don't give up with your own ideas. This track proves that something that is sounding less that perfect can go onto great things if you persevere with it

 

Do you know this album of unreleased / demo versions?

No I don't but looks interesting

 

thanks for this... really interesting to hear in the nascent form....

the synths/electric keys sound so cheesy.. like a bedroom edition casio... ( well it was the 80's ofc )
what a difference to the polished and produced version *yes*

 

yesterday, I was messin around with the human league stems and this is my "instant remix"

 

That's why I posted the demo track here because of the recent availability of the stems

 

It just goes to show that you can play fast and loose when composing new ideas, the creative aspect is the most important thing.
