Accidentally caught a programme the other night about Heaven 17 on BBC2.
It focussed on the recording of Penthouse and Pavement, though it did touch on their formation and the Sheffield scene as a whole.
I felt the wider influence of the Steel City on the astounding electronic music that came out of there in the late 70s had been better covered in other documentaries I've seen.
But as a snapshot from a particular angle, it is well worth an hour of your time. I didn't know for instance, that the track below had been banned by the BBC.
The fools.
It is a super-fast dancefloor classic. Also has the best bass solo ever in it. Fact.
Heaven 17: The Story of Penthouse and Pavement should be on the iplayer till Monday.
