Our Take

Heaven 17's "The Luxury Gap" gets a glossy makeover with this half-speed master edition, promising a sonic experience that's smoother than a freshly buttered crumpet.
The synth-pop pioneers have been around the block a few times, but this reissue proves that their signature blend of catchy hooks and politically charged lyrics still packs a punch.
From the infectious grooves of "Let Me Go" to the darkly humorous observations of "Temptation," this album is a time capsule of the '80s that still feels relevant today.
The production on this remastered version is top-notch, with each instrument shining through like a freshly polished crown jewel.
If you're looking for an album that will make you want to dance and think at the same time, "The Luxury Gap" is the perfect choice.
So grab your leg warmers, pour yourself a glass of something bubbly, and prepare to be transported back to the decade of excess in style.
Heaven 17 may not be as flashy as some of their peers, but their music has a depth and sophistication that more than makes up for it.
Overall, this reissue is a must-have for fans of synthpop, '80s nostalgia, or just darn good music in general. So go ahead and treat yourself to a little slice of heaven with "The Luxury Gap." You won't regret it.

About the artist

Heaven 17

Heaven 17: The Synth-Pop Pioneers Bringing the Funk to the Future When it comes to the pioneers of synth-pop, there are few names as iconic as Heaven 17. Formed in Sheffield in the early 1980s, this trio of talented musicians - Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh, and Glenn Gregory - quickly rose to fame with their infectious blend of electronic beats and catchy melodies. Despite being relatively unknown outside of the UK, Heaven 17's impact on the music industry cannot be overstated. 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. But what truly sets Heaven 17 apart is their live performances. From their energetic stage presence to their undeniable chemistry, this band knows how to put on a show like no other. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer to their music, seeing Heaven 17 live is an experience you won't soon forget. In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured bands, Heaven 17 is a breath of fresh air. 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.
