Heaven 17: The Luxury Gap (SDE Exclusive Pure Audio) [Blu-ray]

Heaven 17: The Luxury Gap (Blu-ray Audio) / #60 SDE Surround Series

One of the best-selling albums of 1983 The Luxury Gap features the Heaven 17's defining hit single 'Temptation' along with 'Let Me Go', 'Come Live With Me' and 'Crushed by the Wheels of Industry'.

In newly commissioned sleeve notes for this edition, The Guardian's head rock and pop critic, Alexis Petridis, says: "Everything on The Luxury Gap was irresistible. It was the kind of album where every track sounds like a hit single... An album that skilfully synthesized the two distinct elements of its predecessor – electronics and funk – into a sound that was simultaneously modern but warm, a firm underlining of Heaven 17’s skill as pop craftsmen".

David Kosten, who in recent times has impressed immersive audio fans with stunning Atmos Mixes of Propaganda's A Secret Wish, Fine Young Cannibals' The Raw and the Cooked and Thompson Twins' Into The Gap has worked his magic on The Luxury Gap, rebuilding the album in stereo from the original analogue multi-track tapes and then creating massively immersive Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Mixes. David's new stereo mix is also fantastically dynamic and unlimited.

The Luxury Gap blu-ray is #60 in the SDE Surround Series will be packaged similarly to previous editions and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase. It comes with a 12-page booklet with Alexis Petridis' new sleeve notes.
