Our Take

Chapter and verse, dear reader, let us delve into the decadent world of Heaven 17's The Luxury Gap (Deluxe Edition). With all the swagger of a sharply dressed dandy, this album redefines synth-pop with its effortlessly cool vibes and addictive melodies.

From the infectious grooves of "Let Me Go" to the smooth sophistication of "Temptation," each track on this album is a masterclass in 80s electro-pop. Martin Ware and Glenn Gregory's dynamic vocals are as smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over Martyn Ware's sleek production.

But it's not just the hits that shine on this album. The bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition offer a tantalising glimpse into the band's creative process, with rare remixes and unreleased gems that showcase the band's versatility and innovation.

In an era of disposable pop, Heaven 17's The Luxury Gap (Deluxe Edition) stands out as a timeless classic that still sounds fresh and exciting decades later. So grab your finest suit, crank up the volume, and get ready to dance the night away to the sounds of Heaven 17. This album is pure luxury for your ears, darling. Cheers to that!

With their unique sound and politically charged lyrics, this band has managed to transcend the confines of traditional pop music and carve out their own niche in the industry. Their album "Penthouse and Pavement" remains a classic of the genre, with hits like "Temptation" and "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang" solidifying their status as musical legends.

With their innovative sound and rebellious attitude, this band continues to push the boundaries of what pop music can be. So if you're looking for a musical experience that's equal parts fun and thought-provoking, look no further than Heaven 17 - the synth-pop pioneers bringing the funk to the future.
