Penthouse and Pavement is a very self-assured debut from a band that want you to think almost as much they want you to dance, and with the 9 tracks on their debut (re-issues and re-masters have added a few more bonus tracks) they've done a rather stellar job. If Heaven 17 hadn't quite hit their stride completely on Penthouse and Pavement, they had at least picked the shoes in which they'd walk with total confidence just over year later in the follow-up, 'The Luxury Gap' in 1983.
