Переиздание альбома 1981 г. британской нью-вэйв группы.
Penthouse and Pavement (1981) is the debut album by Heaven 17 and reached #14 in the UK album charts, outstripping the sales of all its singles, which performed poorly. Once half of The Human League, Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware left the band due to a rift and the British Electronic Foundation (B.E.F.) was formed; they recruited singer Glen Gregory and Phil Oakey continued with The Human League. Heaven 17 was subsequently formed, the name being taken from the Anthony Burgess Novel, A Clockwork Orange, in which there is a band called The Heaven Seventeen. The difference between Heaven 17 and The Human League was immediately evident when the albums Penthouse and Pavement and Dare (1981) were released. Both albums were recorded simultaneously, the two bands sharing the same recording studio, recording at different times of the day. Whereas The Human League were playing fairly standard electronic synth pop, Heaven 17 injected more soul and funk into their electronic music, and political views into their lyrics. The only strikingly obvious similarity between the two bands is the voices of Phil Oakey and Glen Gregory.
