Editorial Reviews

Limited digitally remastered and specially packaged edition of this 1986 release, the third solo album from the Buzzcocks mainman. Heaven And The Sea was released on the Mercury label and produced by Stephen Hague, an American producer who in his time has produced such notables as Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Public Image Ltd, Peter Gabriel, and others. Although this album never achieved the same sales as the classic Homosapien album , Heaven And The Sea was critically well received and sold well. It has not been available for 20 years. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Can't believe someone would rip this album. It's by far and away Pete Shelley's best. Listen to Never Again. It should have been a No. 1 single. As it seemed to be in the DC area. Just lower the price and swoop this gem up.

If you like early eighties techno pop, but with hooks, this is the CD that will define power-pop techno for the genre that never really existed until Pete Shelley invented it.

My favorite tracks are: Life without reason, You can't take that away, Waiting for love, I feel the last track is the only track that resembles filler material as it's really slow and screws up the beat & mood of the entire album, he probably should have left off "No Moon".
