Ian Burden (The Human League) and David M. Allen (programming and engineering) recall the making of Dare by The Human League. Guided by producer Martin Rushent, the album’s recording techniques blended experimental approaches with pop accessibility, exemplified by ‘Don’t You Want Me.’ Their work established Dare as a landmark album of the 1980s, leaving a legacy that proved difficult to replicate.
