Our Take

HEAVEN 17 have reissued their seminal album Penthouse And Pavement in a deluxe edition that is more exciting than a spilled pint at a pub in Sheffield. The album, originally released in 1981, has been remastered to perfection, allowing every synth, drum machine, and impassioned vocal to shine brighter than the lights of a disco ball.

The band's blend of electronic pop and social commentary is as relevant today as it was in the '80s. Songs like "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang" and "Penthouse And Pavement" sound like they could have been written yesterday, with their biting lyrics and infectious beats still packing a punch.

But what really makes this deluxe edition stand out is the bonus material. With demos, B-sides, and remixes galore, there is something for every HEAVEN 17 fan to sink their teeth into. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newbie to the band's electro-pop charms, this reissue is a must-have addition to your music collection.

So grab your flares, dust off your shoulder pads, and crank up the volume on Penthouse And Pavement (Deluxe Edition). It may be over 40 years old, but this album still has the power to get you dancing like it's 1981 all over again. Cheers to HEAVEN 17 for reminding us that good music never goes out of style.
