Heaven 17 - Let Me Go (Virgin)

Clever and well-crafted as one might expect, and utterly unmemorable. A briefcase in the hand is considerably less attractive than a heart worn on the sleeve. More profitable too, these days - ask Boy George. (Sunie, Record Mirror, October 23, 1982)

On first play this doesn't get through, giving the impression that someone's read a book about dance music and decided to give it a whirl. But after a while a subtle insistence is revealed (this is beginning to sound like the very book), at its most potent on the twelve inch version where the interplay between Glenn Gregory's grave baritone and a nifty bass line starts to strike sparks. (Please ignore the above pretentious rubbish and give it a listen.) (David Hepworth, Smash Hits, October 28, 1982)
