If you need proof of how ahead of its time this album was Richard X's saw no harm in sampling 'Things That Dreams Are Made Of' in it's entirety for his recent 'Finest Dreams' single. Also George Michael's 'Shoot the Dog' samples large chunks of 'Love Action'. Both taken from this album. The League Unlimited still sounds fresh today.
What can I say? This is the album that got me into electronic music and for me is very much the blueprint for the genre. Forget the fact that you have heard the singles throughout the decades. You will definitely not have heard them like this. The lush layers and the soaring synth riffs build upon each other to create magnificent soundscapes - 'Seconds' being a fantastic example you can almost visualise skyscrapers from the opening chords alone and 'Things That Dreams are Made Of' has me skiing on a deserted snowy mountain with avalanches crashing around me. I challenge anyone who is a fan of ambient techno or electronica to listen to this and not be impressed. This album is an inspiration. Plus it is the only album that I have ever bought in all three formats - need I say more...
