Electro and synth poppers
from English Sheffield, with singer Philip Oakley as their everlasting band
member, supported by at least seven different colleagues in over thirty
years.
The band name is derived from the plot of a classic board game: Starforce
Alpha Centauri. Those who are skilled at playing this science fiction game may arrive
in the 25th Century in the long run, say about 2415 AD. At that stage of the
game there is talk of the emergence of a 'bond of people' (Human League). This
is a terrestrial colony, the residents are housed somewhere far away
in the universe and pursue greater independence of the Earth.
