It is difficult to take an active dislike to HEAVEN 17-men of stout hearts and sound mind one and all-but it is even harder to find anything other than flat, flawless worthinness in their music. I'd love SUNSET NOW if I could, but it tells me nothing about the frenzy of political struggle or even how I feel about my all-time favourite dancer. It is merely another record, another numb artefact. I guess the fairlight is just not the instrument from which dreams are made.

SUNSET NOW from SOUNDS 25th AUGUST 1984
Hardly a great achievement from the creators of 'FASCIST GROOVE THANG' but as pop fare it's strong enough. I know this is going to really irritate after about two weeks. Oh, what could have been.

SUNSET NOW from No1 25th AUGUST 1984
More happy returns. A year on, Heaven 17 seem to have refined the mannered
funk of 'Crushed By The Wheels'.
'Sunset Now' sees Glenn Gregory in fine voice, with Afrodiziak helping out
on backing vocals, and points to an excellend thrid LP in September.
Oh and on the 12inch there's some music from that film Electric Dreams.
Well, nobody's perfect...
