(Synthpop,New Wave) Heaven 17 - The Best Of - 1992, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Heaven 17 are a British synthpop band originating from the city of Sheffield in the early
1980s.
Taking their name from a fictional pop group mentioned in Anthony Burgess's novel A
Clockwork Orange (where 'The Heaven Seventeen' are at number 4 in the charts with
"Inside"), Heaven 17 formed when Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware split from their earlier
group The Human League and formed production company British Electric Foundation (BEF).
BEF’s first recording was a cassette-only album called Music for Stowaways and an LP called
Music for Listening To. Shortly after, they recruited their friend and photographer Glenn
Gregory on vocals to complete their lineup for Heaven 17. Like The Human League, Heaven
17 heavily used synthesizers and drum machines, the Linn LM-1 programmed by Ware
particularly contributing to their signature sound. Session musicians were used for Bass and
Guitar (John Wilson) and Grand Piano (Nick Plytas). They had some minor hits including the
early "Play To Win", featured on the album Penthouse and Pavement. Their debut single
"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" from the same album had attracted some
attention, becoming a left-wing anthem for a while, and was banned by Mike Read, a Radio 1
DJ for the BBC, because of its overtly political lyrics, though it still reached #45 in the UK
singles chart.
In the interim the band produced two further LPs as BEF. The first being Music of Quality &
Distinction featuring Glenn Gregory, Paula Yates, Billy Mackenzie, Paul Jones, Bernadette
Nolan and Gary Glitter. The tracks were cover versions of songs that Ware, Marsh & Gregory
had grown up listening to. A second volume was issued in the early 1990s (simply titled
Music of Quality & Distinction 2), this time featuring artists such as Scritti Politti's Green
Gartside, Terence Trent D'Arby, and Lalah Hathaway.
