The 'Travelogue' album was awesome. Light years ahead... music today is a de-generation.... I'm a Y.M.O fan but this was still amazing music. Still love it today x
@@ravimaha I met them when they were in concert in London in 2008. Got photos, autographs etc. I made a ymo shirt like in there early concerts from 70s/80s and some Japanese people took my photo. One wound up in a book. Been out over 10 years and I didn't even realise. My jpop supplier managed to get me the book earlier this year. Fan of Tomita too if you like electronic classical. He died a few years ago.
@@JoeyLevenson cool. Glad to know, someone discovers them through my comment. In fact the whole album "Blitz" by KMFDM is fire, so I absolutely recommend checking it out
I saw Heaven 17 last week, and they did perform it 😁! In fact Martyn Ware played the bass on the exact same MiniKorg 700 he used for the recording back in 1978! Piece of history 🤓.
I often read comments about various electro tracks, suggesting they were "ahead of their time". No, these gems were OF their time - their time was the magical 70s and 80s. Then everything went to shit.
So far ahead of its time this song. Yet this has always happened. People feel like they truly are being boiled due to external pressures that they cannot control. All we can control is ourselves. Keep civil, keep the faith. Ultimately believe in human nature. That it will rectify itself for the greater good for us all.
I’d never correct someone’s interpretation of a song as music has a unique and powerful meaning to everyone, but apparently this song was written about silk production in which silk worm cocoons are boiled with the silk worm still inside which has been criticised by many as cruel
@@meesalikeu but then even if the silk worm meaning is true, yours could still be true as well, like using the silk worms as an allegory for the feeling of being boiled by pressure

Had this single in the mid 80’s and at first couldn’t believe it was HL. Bc this was sondiffent from their popular album DARE, This is like eaely electro music.
DJ BreeZ get down on your knees and say please, can you play one of the best records of yesterday, ladies and gentlemen we introduce you to The Human League. 🐍💨💨💨
I suspect you may well be right about that. Certainly surprised me when I finally got around to looking up what "sericulture" was ... and then the song made sense. Buddha would not approve.
Here, with English subtitles. ruclips.net/video/gCJSSFV4e-8/видео.html Special thanks to Dj BreeZ for the successful video.When this movie was released on cinema screens, we were 11-12 years old.

One of my favorite songs in the discotheque in the 80th … and I still love it 😍
First Song of the day while having my coffee.. Absolutely brilliant 🌻
Me too! 💥
I've always loved this track and it was wonderful to see it merged (succesfully) with early sci-fi. Big thank you to whoever was responsible for that.
Must have influenced Visage
Hi me like this song is skelmersdale
Holy shit! This is the best use of older sci-footage I've ever seen!
Moscow Kassiopeia. Cool Movie.
Best intro ever, played my stereo into the cosmos with this song!!!!
1978... a Masterpiece
TBH i didn't have high hopes for this, but i was completely wrong to think that. This is brilliant! The video fits the music perfectly. Well done!!!
Some songs are ahead of their time…THIS IS ONE!
Totally agree!
1909% Agree
Definitely ahead of its time! Visage borrowed the chord progression from Being Boiled on Fade To Grey
That is exactly what David Bowie said when he first heard the song, presumably in '78 👍
Die Song ist von 1978 und immernoch der absolute Hammer.
Killer pairing, this song with this footage. In my favorites list!
Really progressive Kombination of Video and sound! Thanks a lot!
Ich muß wirklich sagen das war der beste Song der 80er . Einfach genial
tja der ist aber von 78
Aber er kam in meiner Disco Zeit noch einmal raus und somit ist es der beste Song der 80 er
Somebody should tell them : Don´t drink bongwater ! Timeless masterpiece !
Very cool and innovative sound and video . Human League ❤

@@ravimaha 👍
Listen to them back in 1986 .. with riyuchi sakamoto ... and kitaro
Technopolis ... brings back memories

Simply just brilliant! Love it
This one was before they split into The Human League and Heaven 17. Another classic is Empire State Human.
As if the music and visuals were made for each other!
That was brilliant... 70's sci-fi and music matched.
das erste mal in der Disco und dann diese Musik mit laserschow das hat mich vor 40 Jahren umgehauen
Bovril is still Bovril, whether it’s served in a mug or a three spouted teapot. You either like it or you don’t.
what a such great song!! It creates an amazing atmosphere.
Now that's a discovery for me! Never thought that KMFDM song I enjoyed much, was a cover 😅
Oh wow, I never heard this before, it’s fantastic! Thanks for the tip!
@@JoeyLevenson cool. Glad to know, someone discovers them through my comment. In fact the whole album "Blitz" by KMFDM is fire, so I absolutely recommend checking it out
This should of been the official promo video just Brilliant. I lay money on it that Mr Oakey would approve!! Lol.
this was the start song of international hitparade on german radio.
Who remembers?
A master piece
Really cool vid, DJ Breez!! Hey, I was born in '74! Awesome!
timeless song
saw the HL yesterday in concert... didn't perform this one aaaaaahrrrrrgggg
I saw Heaven 17 last week, and they did perform it 😁! In fact Martyn Ware played the bass on the exact same MiniKorg 700 he used for the recording back in 1978! Piece of history 🤓.
Had this ep back in early 80’s. Awesome era. 🤜🤛
I'm hearing Fade to Grey a little in the intro...
Best song ever 🎉👍🥰 old school rock n roll with funny lyrics and great musicians ❤👍
How did I miss this?!
My all time greatest hit ever !! When i listened to the sound of this,i get sooooo wacked !! Totally off the world !!
great song great vid
war erste mal in der Disco 1982 da lief das mit eine Läser schow war sowas von fasziniert
The incredibly camp vintage Russian sci-fi film goes with it so well! Even the funky walk the aliens do? Check out the Lionel Blairs!
which movie is this?
This is an amazing song, beautifully unique. But this video looks like a 'look and read' episode.
Human League truly were UK's answer to Kraftwerk.
They were indeed 👍🎶
That they were.
Indeed, both bands lightyears ahead of the time.
I often read comments about various electro tracks, suggesting they were "ahead of their time". No, these gems were OF their time - their time was the magical 70s and 80s. Then everything went to shit.
The way they backed up against the wall simultaneously reminds me of tron legacy

Movies in german are "Start zur Kassiopeia" and 2nd Part "Roboter im Sternbild Kassiopeia"
Die Filme muss man erstmal wiederfinden. Die Umsetzung war seinerzeit weit voraus.
@@misch9820ich finde beide Teile sehr gut gelungen ohne ballerei. Ja, es ist auch einiges an Kitsch dabei, aber die Filme sind physikalisch fast stimmig.
it has similar progression to fade to Grey by Visage.
I love this❤
Interesting to hear the original version of this song. A difficult listen after being used to the KMFDM remake. :D
Musique fin de soirée a la Chapelle (Liège) Que de souvenirs , j'adoooooore toujours autant
This is a brilliant video.
Ооо! Так это наш Советский фильм "Отроки во вселенной"
Awesom:-) Thank you!!!
I feel like we're Being Boiled right now !
Einfach Kult 😍
Great song, the best from their pre-"Dare" era.
is this the first electro song?
Definitely one of the first.
I can't think of a song before it
True. Groups like White Noise and Throbbing Gristle preceded them but didn't really sound like this.
Around here, when being charitable, we use the term post-"Travelogue" era frequently but I had never heard it flipped like this. Full vs. half empty kinda thing I guess.
Damn best song ever made
Excellent theme and edition video..
Superb, especially the early cameo by Billy Corgan.
I thought it was Michael Stipe😂
Brings back memories 👊🏻
Super
it looks like the producer from the tron sequel saw this early sci fi show as well where the girls come into fit flynns son anyway classic 70s 80s music long may it live
It’s Space 1999 , god it hurts I’m that old
That isn't Space 1999
This song was released in 1978, just can't believe it....
It's _'Teens in the Universe',_ 1974 - the same year as Kraftwerk's Autobahn was released.
1990-Technobert neue dimensionen,1992-Cappella u got 2 know,e la storia..continua!!!!
Great!
The most iconic music they ever made
One of there best songs
Milestone!
Fits perfectly!
Had this single in the mid 80’s and at first couldn’t believe it was HL. Bc this was sondiffent from their popular album DARE, This is like eaely electro music.
Brilliant
Who knew a song about silkworms would be this cool?
Does anyone what film these clips are from ?, it looks like something i'd enjoy watching .
❤🔥Passioned Videomixing 👌
1982 in der Disco dazu die laserschow einfach Megageil
Listen to the voice oh Buddha...

DJ BreeZ get down on your knees and say please, can you play one of the best records of yesterday, ladies and gentlemen we introduce you to The Human League. 🐍💨💨💨
Sadly, after classics like this and Circus of Death, Oakey swallowed his own hype, and degenerated into commercial pap...
Are we happy with this ps youth may say no❤
Loving this
From the fantastic super movie "stoned arians in space" !!!!
No.. It's the classic Sovet sci-fi movie The Kids in the Universe from 1977 (Отроки во Вселенной in Russian)
there will never.. be...another protest song about silk worm farming as good as this one..😂
I suspect you may well be right about that. Certainly surprised me when I finally got around to looking up what "sericulture" was ... and then the song made sense. Buddha would not approve.
Nice Match.
The movie looks great!!
great song , great vid ... at 1.00 , they dance with the song 🙃
Rolling on Chrome
They came a long way from crow and a baby ! Love them just love them
Sounds like a Fade to Grey mush up
This was three years before Fade To Grey... However, the chord progression on Fade To Grey is the same as on this song
Great track...and film clip. Where can I see the whole film?!

@@sudfac the film is set to private and I cant see what it is, what is it called?
@@GodWeenSatan _'Teens in the Universe',_ 1974.
Go back and play "sitting on chrome" masta ace
what do me a little it sounds alot like fade to grey
Because Visage ripped it off (in the nicest possible way)
Visage clearly lifted the chord progression from Being Boiled... In those days, however, music sampling and interpolation laws were much more relaxed
Ci sono tracce acustiche di Visage
Is that Oakey himself who appears in that circle to sing a few lines? I can't quite make out whether or not it is him
This is full of symbolism
Part of the soumds remind me on hitchkock's birds.
This is New wave
and electro...……………………………..put some head phones on and hear that rhythmic kick drum at the beginning
It is more Dark or Cold Wave 😎
1st time I’ve seen the video😮
They looked so young
Lucas Jones like this song 😊
Sounds a little bit like " fade to grey " innit ?????
Well this was 2 years before that.
@@ajs41 Yeah i knew it ...
That was done in78/79 f.t.g.sounds like this
The chord progression of Fade To Grey is virtually identical to Being Boiled...
Correct. This was 1978, and "Fade to Grey" was 1980.
This song send a message against silk farming.
J'avais dix ans...
J'aime tjs autant 40 ans après...
