Great episode as always. Thankyou.
I last saw Heaven 17 in November '23 at the University of East Anglia. It was a brilliant night out. They just get better and better. Martyn and Glenn are superb raconteurs and of course the music was out of this world. I'm seeing them again in a couple of weeks time at the Solihull Summer Festival. Favourite album "The Luxury Gap" and favourite single "I'm Your Money". All the best and good luck with your magnetically entertaining channel 🧡

Thanks for your kinds words and support. I am very jealous. I never saw them live even though I've been a fan since the early 80's. Hopefully they will find their way to Denmark one of these days. :)

I don't depend on you released in 1979 by The Men aka The Human League with Ware, Marsh, Oakey on vocals. It was a fore runner of the dance pop well produced sound, the later Human League would pursue after the split.
I think both factions of the original band were disappointed with lack of success with experimental music. And pursued it separately at later times. BEF gave it one last whirl with the Music for stowaways cassette only album in 1981. Sony Stowaway was the original name for the Sony Walkman

I find it odd you mention 1st album , but do not mention the single "let's all make a bomb" while a version of it is playing in the background ....odd
