Penthouse and Pavement

by Heaven 17

Penthouse and Pavement cover art

Formed by ex-Human League members, Heaven 17 constructed a profoundly influential, highly rhythmic fusion of slick synth-pop and driving Britfunk on their debut. 'Penthouse and Pavement' pairs incredibly mechanical, funky basslines with Glenn Gregory's crooning vocals to deliver remarkably sarcastic, deeply conscious political critiques of 1980s corporate greed.
