Heaven 17 followed by East 17? Surely no accident!
This was in fact the first hit from the band who were supposed at the time to be the Rolling Stones to Take That's Beatles; you can see the record company didn't want to risk too much of a video budget (they did make a more glamorous version later, presumably for the US market). It predates my awareness of the group but I had heard it subsequently and remembered the chorus. It turns out that's about all there is to remember about this odd blend of rap, rave and pop. I don't think I was ever supposed to like ths record, and that's just as well.
