HEAVEN 17: SUNSET NOW [ESP 1984] EP 12' HEAVEN 17: SUNSET NOW [ESP 1984] EP 12' Heaven 17   "Sunset Now"  EP 12" (Virgin)  1984  made in Spain cat. num.   F-601510 #synth pop   A1 Sunset Now (Extended Version) 5:21 A2 Flame Down 3:14 B1 Counterforce 3:02 B2 Sunset Now (Album Version) 3:40 B3 Counterforce II   It all came together for  Heaven 17  on this release, and as a result it is by far their strongest, most brilliant ep. Combining their various influences (including R&B, pop, dance, electronica),  Heaven 17  fused these styles together to made an almost perfect sound. A strong melody, stunning vocals from  Glenn Gregory, and tight production equal a fascinating glimpse into the human struggle. Adding a number of session players, including a guitarist,  Heaven 17  was able to expand and build on their solid sound.  Gregory  is also allowed to branch out on this album and write more personal and political statements that were not clearly heard on their first two albums. Fans will not be disappointed, and in fact, this could be the album to win new fans over. "Sunset Now," and "Flamedown," are just a few of the reasons for this ep greatness.
