20007 reissue of the British dance troupe's debut album, originally released in 1981. Produced by former Human League/future Heaven 17 members Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh (AKA British Electric Foundation). Marsh and Ware decided to utilize material they had co-written for the Human League ('Morale', 'The Word Before Last' and 'Circus of Death'); their latest project Heaven 17 ('Soul Warfare' and 'Geisha Boys & Temple Girls'); a song from an offshoot of the Human League called the Men ('I Don't Depend on You') and a couple of other cover versions which included a song from the seminal Brian Eno produced Talking Heads album Remain in Light ('Houses in Motion') to create this electronic curiosity which is reissued for the first time. Repressed.

one of the best unkown electronewave albums of all time
BEF (British Electrical Foundation)/ HEAVEN 17 - an off shoot of Human League produced and arranged this beautiful haunting electronic ambientpop in the early eighties. It is like Human league reproduction mixed with Heaven 17 Penthouse and Pavement. They created electronica as we know it 2day. I wanted this album on cd for years and years and this year 2007 it was released so I am thrilled. You will b 2. - BUY ALL THE BEF albums!

Interesting, but only for the big fan of Marsh / Ware / Gregory.
I am a massive fan of Heaven 17, The Human League, BEF and (more generally), Ian Craig Marsh, Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory. That's why I bought this. It really surprised me as the tracks on here are absolutely faithful to the originals, so much so that it is possible that only the vocals were re-recorded. Listening to the title track, if you haven't heard the Heaven 17 original on "Penthouse and Pavement" for a while you might even think you're listening to a poor quality recording of Glenn's voice. One for the big fan only I think.

nice disco

The very hot gossip
Soundtrack zur innovativsten Show im England der frühen 80er. Ersetzt eine zerkratzte Schallplatte aus der Zeit vor der CD. Empfehlenswert.

The best Human League/Heaven 17 album (almost)
The music on this sounds terrific ,all travelogue/Penthouse and Pavement era synths from the BEF boys,just a shame the vocals are a bit lacking .Much better than I was expecting though ,worth a listen if you are a big fan of electronic music from the early 80's.

もう一つのB.E.F.
1981年に英国のダンス・ユニットHOT GOSSIP名義でVirgin傘下のDinDiscよりリリースされたカヴァーアルバム。プロデュースはマーティン・ウェア。（クレジットは“Another B.E.F. Production”）内容は...第1期ヒューマン・リーグ；3曲The Men（第1期ヒューマン・リーグの変名）；1曲ヘヴン１７；2曲で、トーキング・ヘッズ；1曲ポリス；1曲ポリス名義の「君に夢中」（I Burn for You）は実質スティングのソロで、「ブリムストン＆トリークル」のサントラや「Wrapped Around Your Finger」の12インチシングルに収録されているちょっとレアなナンバー。では81年という時期が微妙だ。当初HOT GOSSIPは、「Hollywood Jungle」というアルバムタイトルでこの2曲を録音していたそうだ。Wikiで興味深い記述を見つけた。タイトルナンバーのドラムスはサイモン・フィリップス。シングルB面などボーナストラックを収録してくれれば星４つ。
