Description

Heaven 17 - formed when Ian Marsh and Martyn Ware parted ways with The Human League and teamed up with vocalist Glenn Gregory - certainly enjoyed their fair share of New Romantic-era success. Not that they saw themselves as New Romantics, though. They may have nurtured the same synth-pop sound as The 'League, Duran Duran and other contemporaries, but the trio worked hard to exhibit a slightly less flamboyant visual aesthetic and create something different from the norm. Largely, they succeeded. Following the re-release of key albums Penthouse and Pavement, The Luxury Gap and How Men Are, Sightmore… and Sound collects together the band's major, minor and almost-hits as well as all their promotional videos. It's a definitive overview, featuring not only early singles "Play To Win" and "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" plus obvious smashes "Temptation", "Come Live With Me", "Crushed By The Wheels of Industry" and "Let Me Go", but also a smattering of songs from less successful albums such as Pleasure One and Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho. Extras, such as the demo version of "Temptation", recorded at their home studio in 1983, give the collection even more appeal. --Danny McKenna
