Track Description
Available in:
"Tell Me When" is a song by British synthpop group the Human League, released as the first single from their seventh album, Octopus (1995). Written jointly by lead singer Philip Oakey and Paul C. Beckett, it was recorded at 'Human League Studios', Sheffield same year. The single and the album were produced by Ian Stanley (formerly of Tears for Fears). It peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, while reaching number four on the UK Dance Chart. In the US, it peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 15 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and number eight on the Cash Box Top 100.
The song was originally written for the act, "Fast Arithmetic" (Oakey – Beckett), A side project in development within the HL environment. A demo version was recorded in 1991 and presented to Max, Ian and Jean at East West. It then became the first release by the band under their new label EastWest, who had signed the Human League after their dismissal by Virgin in 1992.
As it was the first commercial release in the UK by the band for four years it is often incorrectly described as a comeback as many people erroneously believed the band had disbanded in 1990. Band principal Philip Oakey took issue with this description and said in an interview that the band has never stopped recording and performing since its formation in 1977. The band had collaborated with Yellow Magic Orchestra prior to signing with EastWest.
A music video was produced to promote the single, and was shot entirely on location in Prague in the Czech Republic. It is directed by British director Andy Morahan. In the video, several well-known sites in the city can be seen, as Wenceslas Square, Prague Castle and Wallenstein Garden.
