One Hundred Fifty-Fifth

Artist - The Human League
Album - Fascination! (EP)
Released - 1981
Label - Virgin Records
Genre - Electronic Pop/Synth Pop/Electro Pop

Tracks:
Side One
(Keep Feeling) Fascination - Extended
Mirror Man
Hard Times
Side Two
I Love You Too Much
You Remind Me of Gold
(Keep Feeling) Fascination - Improvisation

So it wasn't too long ago where I had (Keep Feeling) Fascination in my head.  I guess it's because every time I go to the record store, I see the album.  Luckily, the EP was in my collection so here it is.  I would've posted it it yesterday as a double post, but I had no energy to even think with the sinus issues I have been having.

Enjoy!

Break Ups Are Never Easy

Almost closing the gap to my first 100, so here you are, my ninety-eighth pick.

Artist - Handsome Furs
Album - Sound Kapital
Released - 2011
Label - Sub Pop
Genre - Indie/Electro Pop


Tracks
Side One
When I Get Back
Damage
Bury Me Standing
Memories of the Future
Serve The People
Side Two
What About Us?
Repatriated
Cheap Music
No Feelings

The third album by Handsome Furs, this duo delivers a great sound for what would be their last album together.  Since announcing their break up a few months ago (we all hope it's not a break-up of their marriage since Alexei and Dan are husband and wife in real life), Dan has gone to form a super group with Brit Daniels of Spoon.  Nevertheless, Sound Kapital will hopefully not be the end of a legacy for Handsome Furs, seeing as it is as fantastic sounding as their live performance.

Enjoy!
