Heaven 17

As I am typing this, I am grooving to the sounds of this great synth-pop band. While you had the Human League's awesome blend of pop & innovative electronica, Heaven 17 turned that style into something funky. Penthouse & Pavement is one of the best albums to come out the New Wave/Synth-Pop era.

New Wave Forever!

Compare Penthouse & Pavement to 1999
Both albums have alot of the same drum (electric percussion) and bass sounds. I wonder if Prince was listening to this during that time...

Were they fat and sporting expensive hair-pieces?
