Fascination
Fascination! is an EP released by the English synth-pop band the Human League in 1983. The EP was issued as a stop-gap release in between the albums Dare (1981) and Hysteria (1984). Released in the US and Canada, it was made available in Europe as an import. The original vinyl release of Fascination! contained six tracks, including two versions of their single "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" as well as "Mirror Man", both of which were hits on the UK singles chart and the US Billboard Hot 100. Also included is "Hard Times", which was originally the B-side of their 1981 hit "Love Action" and also appears on the band's 1982 remix album Love and Dancing. The featured version of "I Love You Too Much" is an earlier version of the song that would later be released on the band's Hysteria album in 1984. The album was released as a digital download in 2008 with a bonus track, a dub version of "I Love You Too Much". A CD version was released as part of the "deluxe edition" release of Dare in 2012, minus Hard Times, but with other extra tracks. In November 2015 a limited-edition single-CD was released (only in Japan), with the same track list as the Dare "deluxe edition".
