Penthouse And Pavement
Heaven 17

The album starts out quite strongly with the politically charged dance floor rave up of Fascist Groove Thang and the funk-inspired title track featuring some amazing bass playing. The first side is very strong but things start to unravel with side 2 which has trouble holding my attention. I think they shot at an update on Kraftwerk's sound but missed the mark. The idea is commendable the execution not quite there. 3.5 stars
