Heaven 17 - Temptation (25th December 1983)


HQ audio version: www.youtube.com Christmas Day, 1983: Temptation, Heaven 17. Top of the Pops, BBC1. Features Carol Kenyon on vocals. Reached no. 2 on the UK singles chart in May 1983, kept off number one by Spandau Ballet's hit True. Interestingly, the woman featured in the official Temptation promotional video is not Carol Kenyon. Trivia: when this track hit number two in the charts it displaced The Human League with (Keep Feeling) Fascination from that position, (also held off the number one spot by Spandau Ballet); Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh (both playing keyboards here) used to be members of The Human League until 1980 when the group split. They then formed Heaven 17 with lead vocalist Glenn Gregory. TOTP presenters: Janice Long and Andy Peebles.

Clock dva - the Operators


In June of 1977, Adi Newton, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, formed a group called The Dead Daughters, their next incarnation was the Studs. The group which consisted of Adi Newton, Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh (Future, The (3)), Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17), Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder, Chris Watson (Cabaret Voltaire), and Haydn Boyes-Weston (2.3). For a short period prior to forming Clock DVA, Adi Newton was one of the three members of the Future who later went on to form The Human League and later as Heaven 17. Shortly after their formation Adi Newton left and was replaced by Philip Oakey: the future ended as quickly as it had begun, they changed their name to The Human League and released "Being Boiled". Then, Adi Newton teamed up with his friend Stephen "Judd" James Turner and formed ClockDVA and recruited two additional members David James Hammond for guitar and Simon Mark Elliot Kemp for electronics. In May 1981 Paul Browse joined Clock DVA and remained a constant member until relocating to Berlin in 1989 where he began his Effective Force project for MFS.

Heaven 17 Temptation + Billie Godfrey LIVE 2010


Heaven 17 are an English synthpop band originating from Sheffield in the early 1980s. The trio comprises Martyn Ware (keyboards), Ian Craig Marsh (keyboards) (both previously with The Human League) and Glenn Gregory (vocals). Although most of the band's music was recorded in the 1980s, they have occasionally reformed to record and perform since then, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997. In 1983 the band released "Temptation" (on which they were augmented by vocalist Carol Kenyon), which reached Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in Spring 1983 and became their biggest hit. The song was taken from their second album, The Luxury Gap, which featured further chart hits "Come Live with Me" (UK Number 5) and "Crushed by the Wheels of Industry" (UK Number 17). The album itself charted at Number 4 in the UK Albums Chart, their highest ever position and was certified platinum by the BPI in 1984.

THE HUMAN LEAGUE - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (John Peel session 1978)


Recorded at BBC Maida Vale studios August 8 1978, tx on John Peel's Radio 1 show August 16. The League's cover of the Righteous Bros. 1964 hit, in their own inimitable minimal electronic style. The band later split in acrimony with Ian Marsh and Martyn Ware leaving to form British Electric Federation/Heaven 17. Oakey and Wright remained, and the rest is synthpop megabucks history. When recording the Dare sessions they demoed a cover of River Deep, Mountain High which was in truth probably a bridge too far and it fortunately never saw the light of day.

CLOCK DVA - Eternity in Paris live Pandora's Music Box Holland 1983


The incredible post-punk Sheffield scene of the late-70s and early 80s spawned some of the best and most influential electronic/new wave music ever released, and Clock DVA were a major part of it. In June 1977, Adi Newton, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh formed a group called The Dead Daughters, to perform at a private party held in bar in the University of Sheffield for one performance only. Their next incarnation was the legendary and mythological Studs, consisting of Adi Newton, Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh (The Future), Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17), Richard H Kirk, Stephen Mallinder, Chris Watson ( Cabaret Voltaire), and Hayden Boyes-Weston (2.3). For a short period prior to forming Clock DVA Adi Newton was one of the three members of The Future - who later went on to become The Human League and later still Heaven 17, a name taken from the Music Chart listing in the film A Clockwork Orange. The Future's music explored the boundaries of experimental electronics which was fuelled by their mutual infatuation with futurisism in all its varied forms. The band produced a number of recordings including versions of Almost Medieval, Blank Clocks, Dancevision, Looking for the Black Haired Girls and Future Religion. Shortly after their formation Adi Newton departed due to a conflict of ideas. The Future was based purely in electronic music with no acoustics, and Newton felt restrictions placed by this doctrine would limit possibilities he wanted to explore. He was replaced by Phil <b>...</b>

Human League - Don't You Want Me (1981)


Human League began in the late 1970s as the brainchild of two computer operators, Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware, from Sheffield, England. They tried a number of names including the Dead Daughters and the Future until settling upon the Human League after former hospital porter, Philip Oakey, joined the group. Adrian Wright joined shortly thereafter to prepare slide shows for projection during the group's live performances. The first single, Being Boiled, was released in 1978, but the group did not make the charts in the UK until the release of Holiday 80 in the spring of 1980. As a result the Human League's second album Travelogue made the UK Top 20. By 1980 the Human League began to feel strain between the pop music favored by Philip Oakey and Adrian Wright and the more austere electronic sounds favored by Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware. In October 1980 the group split in half. Ware and Marsh left to begin a project called the British Electric Foundation whose first spinoff was the group Heaven 17 and their hit (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang. Of the remaining Human League pair, only Philip Oakey was a performer. With determination to complete a European tour, Adrian Wright began learning to play synthesizer and two female singers, Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall, were recruited from among the dancers at Sheffield's Crazy Daisy disco. Bassist Ian Burden was also added as a temporary group member. Early in 1981 the new Human League hooked up with <b>...</b>

Heaven 17 - Temptation


1983) The original Heaven 17 video, directed by Steve Barron featured the band dressed in black, in drab, grey surroundings in a style of German expressionism and had segments of (what looks like) an abstract office interview of some kind between vocalists Glenn Gregory and a Carol Kenyon lookalike interspersed throughout. Kenyon herself does not feature in the video. ________________________________ Taking their name from the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange, the UK techno-pop trio Heaven 17 grew out of the experimental dance project the British Electric Foundation, itself an offshoot of the electro-pop outfit Human League. The core of Heaven 17 was comprised of Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, a pair of onetime computer operators who first teamed in 1977 as the Dead Daughters, a duo which integrated synthesizer patterns with a heavy reliance on tape loops. Soon, Ware and Marsh were joined by Philip Oakey and Adi Newton and changed their name to the Human League, where they remained before exiting together in 1980. As a means of establishing the synthesizer as an expressive, human instrument, Marsh and Ware formed the British Electric Foundation, a production project which employed a variety of musicians and singers including Tina Turner, Sandie Shaw, and Gary Glitter. The BEF's debut, 1980's Music of Quality and Distinction, Vol. 1, also included vocalist Glenn Gregory, a former photographer whom Ware and Marsh met at a Sheffield drama center; in 1981, the duo <b>...</b>

Heaven 17: Penthouse and Pavement - Live In Sheffield 2010


Penthouse and Pavement is the debut album by the English synthpop group Heaven 17, released in 1981. The first single, "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang", best demonstrates the left-wing outlook of the lyrics, criticising certain aspects of Britain at the beginning of the 1980s which was under the leadership of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The song was famously banned by Radio 1 disc jockey Mike Read (himself a Conservative and follower of Thatcher) for being overtly political. Other themes explored include nuclear war, religious extremism, American influence in the world and the rise of the Yuppie. Heaven 17 drew on R&B and funk to create pop-friendly, danceable hooks. The album charted at No. 14 and remained in the Top 75 for 76 weeks. The album was played live in its entirety by the band in a series of concerts throughout 2010, one of which (in Sheffield) was filmed and shown on BBC Two on 16 May 2010. A documentary about the making of the album was screened the following night. This album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
