Heaven 17 - Penthouse and Pavement album cover
 Penthouse and Pavement is the acclaimed debut album by the group Heaven 17 and considered one of the first concept albums of the 1980s.

The first single, (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang, best demonstrates the left-wing outlook of the lyrics, criticising Britain at the beginning of the 1980s under Thatcher and the rise of the Yuppie. Other themes explored include nuclear war, religious extremism and American influence in the world.

Unlike the seemingly 'cold' music of other electronic bands, Heaven 17 drew on R&B and funk to create pop-friendly, danceable hooks. Whilst the singles charted poorly, the album charted at No. 14 and remained in the Top 75 for 76 weeks.
