Music Synthpop Heaven 17 band pictures (pic) and photo gallery, albums covers pictures. Taking their name from a fictional pop group mentioned in Anthony Burgess's novel A Clockwork Orange (where 'The Heaven Seventeen' are at number 4 in the charts with "Inside"), Heaven 17 formed when Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware split from their earlier group The Human League and formed production company British Electric Foundation (BEF). Shortly after, they recruited their friend and photographer Glenn Gregory on vocals to complete their lineup for Heaven 17. Contrary to popular belief, they were not New Romantics and shared few visual characteristics with groups such as Spandau Ballet and Culture Club. Like The Human League, Heaven 17 heavily used synthesizers and drum machines, the Linn LM-1 programmed by Martin Ware particularly contributing to their signature sound. They had some minor hits including the early "Play To Win", featured on the album Penthouse and Pavement. Their debut single "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" from the same album had attracted some attention, becoming a left-wing anthem for a while, and was banned by the BBC because of its overtly political lyrics, though it still reached number 45 in the UK singles chart. Major chart success eluded them until the single "Temptation" (on which they were augmented by vocalist Carol Kenyon) reached number 2 in the UK charts in summer 1983 (#11 in Germany). Other songs from the same album, The Luxury Gap, charted although not as high - "Come Live With Me" reached number 5 in the UK, "Crushed By The Wheels of Industry" number 17, and "Let Me Go", number 41 in November 1982. The album itself charted at their best ever position, number 4 (#7 in Germany). At the end of 1983, the band (under their BEF guise) helped launch Tina Turner's solo career, producing and providing backing vocals on her debut hit "Let's Stay Together". 1984 saw the release of the moderately successful How Men Are, which reached number 12 (#31 in Germany). The band also worked on the Band Aid single at the end of 1984, with Gregory supplying vocals alongside Midge Ure and Sting. However, they did not perform at Live Aid the following year. Pleasure One (featuring the single "Trouble" - a minor hit in the UK at #51, but a big success in Germany where it reached #17) appeared in 1986 and was followed up in 1988 with Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho (featuring the single "Train of Love in Motion"), although these two albums were poorly received and had little commercial success. The early 1990s were a quiet period for the band and they would not work together as Heaven 17 again until 1996's Bigger Than America. In the preceding years, Marsh and Ware produced a second BEF album to follow 1982's original Music of Quality and Distinction and Gregory formed the band Ugly. Ware became an in-demand producer, working for the likes of Terence Trent D'Arby, Alison Moyet and Erasure. 2005 saw the release of the long-awaited Before After, which had a much more contemporary dance sound compared to previous albums. A CD of remixes of "Hands Up To Heaven" from the album hit number 6 on the Billboard Magazine US Club Play Chart in May 2006. In October the same year Virgin issued a greatest hits compilation called Sight and Sound, which included a previously-unheard version of "Temptation" with spoken vocals by an unknown student from Germany whom the band met in 1982. It had been discovered on 7-inch tape by Glenn Gregory's mother and remastered by Simon Heyworth. Members: -Glenn Gregory (vocals). -Ian Craig Marsh (synthesisers, backing vocals). -Martyn Ware (synthesisers, backing vocals).
