I remember buying this album and listening to it over and over. Just saw the band yesterday at Lets Rock Festival 41 years later and they were fantastic. Early 80’s British Synth pop was just so good.
Someone needs to go out and find John Wilson and give him a retroactive Grammy for best bass of 1981. Killer.
Makes todays music sound rubbish and I’m 30
This song brings me back to GTA Vice City Stories... Best memories
Great underrated song with a good message. We all aspire for a life of luxury and decadence, but what are you willing to sacrifice to get it?
Anyone for Vicecity.........?
Classic 80's Story-telling. I miss this time in music!
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Thanks gta Vice city stories
the woman (Emma Relph) was in 'Day of the Triffids' with John Duttine 1981- just thought I'd add that.
I am a great fan of Heaven 17 since 1983
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories!!!

One of Heaven 17's most underrated songs. The bass riffs on this track are to die for.
The Wave 103
Arguably one of the best basslines and lead synth solo’s of 1981 in one track
This could easily be a Jamiroquai situation (chorus, anyway). Heaven 17 still blows my mind. Elegant AF and totally underrated.
Both names come from movies. Duran Duran was a character in "Barbarella", Heaven 17 was a fictional band mentioned "A Clockwork Orange".
totally awesome bass lines. Classic song!
Heaven 17 were and still are Genius of The 80´s !
