Where Does Jeff Hardy Buy His Clothes

Heaven 17

Craigh Martin Ware and Ian Marsh, who after leaving the Human League (1980) continue to dedicate themselves to their mission: to make the synthesizer's best friend. In pursuing this objective, the two founded the first British Electric Foundation, which promotes artists who experiment with new sounds, while a new band, Heaven 17's, whose name is taken from "The Clockwork Orange" by A. Burgess. When the commitment to the group begins to prevail, the results are good: the album The Luxury Gap (1983) contains several songs that distinguished themselves in the European rankings, such as Temptation, Come Live With Me, Crushed By The Wheels of Industry, and especially Let Me Go, whose video is still sent to the decadent atmosphere that accompanies the song. The following year he published How Men Are, still a success in Britain, but the duo begins to hide. In 1986, out with an album full of external investments, Pleasure One, and two years later, after the failure of Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho, the group broke up. In reality, however, none of the two artists completely stops the job, so it is no coincidence that after a silence of ten years, Heaven 17 have returned to making music. Their projects are still followed today by a good number of fans.
