''Credo'' is the ninth studio album by The Human League, released in 2011. It is their first studio album since ''Secrets'' in 2001. It has been produced by fellow Sheffield act I Monster〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Human League New Album Details )〕 and is released on Wall of Sound. The first single from the album, "Night People" was released on 22 November 2010. Follow up single "Never Let Me Go" was released on 1 March 2011. "Egomaniac" was the second single in Germany, Austria and Switzerland because The Human League secured a slot on a major German TV show for a performance of 'Egomaniac'. The TV programme aired on Friday 4 March and the single was released the same day. In those three territories the album itself was released on Friday 11 March to narrow the gap between the TV airing and the album being available. In the rest of the EU the album was released on Monday 21 March to narrow the gap between the release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and the rest of the continent. The third single, "Sky" was released on 25 July 2011. ''Credo'' was digitally released in the United States on 16 August 2011, with a physical release one week later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Human League sets 'Credo' U.S. release, debate with Men Without Hats, B-52s )〕 ==Production== After the commercial failure of their previous album, ''Secrets'', the band decided to concentrate on their live appearances and forgo a contract with a major label. After seven years of working live venues, Philip Oakey and Rob Barton decided the band needed new material.〔 These new tracks caught the attention of Mark Jones, founder of Wall of Sound. Teaming up with Sheffield based electronic act I Monster,〔 the band decided to cater the album mainly toward the dance scene.〔 The band decided to retain an earlier feel to some of the tracks, including "Privilege" (which they wanted to "sit next to Being Boiled" and "fixed in 1978"),〔 but welcomed I Monster's heavy resequencing on others, including "Sky".〔 Oakey notes I Monster's contribution to the album stating in an interview with John Doran of ''The Quietus'', "The first thing he gave us back, 'Sky' we just went, 'Wow, how has he turned that into this?' They’ve got a really good collection of synths."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Credo (The Human League album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
