Heaven 17: Glenn Gregory (vocals); Martyn Ware (synthesizer, piano, percussion, background vocals); Ian Craig Marsh (synthesizer, saxophone, percussion). Additional personnel: Josie James (vocals); The Boys Of Buddha (synthetic horns); Steve Travell (piano); John Wilson (bass, guitar, synthesizer). Includes liner notes by Gerard Talbot. An offshoot of the British post-punk band the Human League, Heaven 17 were influenced in equal parts by disco, David Bowie, and a keen awareness of the political and social winds of change blowing in early 1980s Britain. Though their debut album is packed with early gems of electronica, tracks like "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thing," "Play to Win," and "Let's All Make a Bomb" also reflect the social turmoil, as well as the threat of nuclear annihilation, that formed the roiling background to their music's shiny hedonism. This remastered reissue also contains two bonus tracks.
