    Despite the fact that the future caught up with them, this collection shows that there remains nowt so queer as The Human League.

    Sprawled across 40 years of high and lows, A Very British Synthesizer Group is inevitably bumpy in quality, but still rich in pleasant surprises, and shot through with the bloody-minded punk genius that defines so much music from the People's Republic Of South Yorkshire. [Jan 2017, p.38]

    It is a representative introduction to the work of a top-tier synth-pop group.

    The later efforts are more like dry runs, and we might have benefitted more from a mixture of these and some key remixes from over the years, but really, what’s not to like?

    Some of the music on A Very British Synthesiser Group is as good as pop music gets, but as a package, you would be better off spending your money elsewhere.
