Talk:Heaven 17
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some fair edits of my contrib...no argument there, but can we please remove the "New Romantic" reference? Cscudds 01:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
User:Cscudds And Then He Said...I was gonna add a short sentence about Martin Ware's exemplary Linn LM-1 drum programming - a key element of their signature sound. Any thoughts?
I have one - learn to spell Martyn correctly.

- WAR!
- SWEAT!

- I replaced the above text. The "vandalism" reversion was not appropriate. This was two users swapping Heaven 17 lyrics: not an indictable offence. 138.37.199.199 15:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- in fact it was monstrous to characterize that as "vandalisism". It's just a truncated conversation about the music. Someone got overzealous. 82.45.245.15 23:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- Its utterly irrelevant to the article, and its classifiable as Wikipedia:Patent Nonsense. Thats vandalism. --Kiand 23:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
One of the great unsung heroes of British pop music of the period, their brand of Euro-electrofunk was ahead of its time. (that was 82.12.239.14)
[edit] What reached 45?
The article used to say that "At the height of the fighting (He-La-Hu)" got to 45 in the UK singles chart, then went on to mention "(We don't need this) Fascist Groove Thing" but without specifying a chart position it reached.
The two linked sites (including the H17 official site) have it the other way round - no. 45 is specified for FGT but no chart position is given for ATHOTF. I have moved it round to match what's given on those sites - please feel free to alter/comment if you have other information. 138.37.199.199 11:56, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
<Trivia>: I played on Temptation, and a couple of other tracks, in about 1982 I think. </trivia>

"Height of the Fighting" missed the charts, according to everything I've ever read.

The reason that the "Height of the Fighting" doesn't appear anywhere in the 'Charts', is due to the fact that it was never actually issued as a 7" single. Although it was schedualed for release and given a general release cat#, it remained unissued and without a 'Picture Sleeve' being designed for it. This I would say was due to the fact that the UK was at war with Argentina at the time, brought on as a result of the conflict in the Falklands. Plastic Demons 18:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
It was issued as a 12" single - which is sufficient sometimes to chart (e.g., New Order's Blue Monday), but I agree ATHOTF never charted QuiteUnusual 21:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did you guys know ...
... that there exists ANOTHER band with the same name, Heaven 17? I didn't know it either, but my record listing showed it to me. -andy 80.129.68.136 21:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
