The Luxury Gap is the second studio album by the British synth-pop band Heaven 17. Formed from the ashes of the post-punk group The Human League (after a creative schism), Heaven 17—comprised of Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh, and vocalist Glenn Gregory—were more explicitly political than their former bandmates.
The Luxury Gap's influence can be heard in a wide range of subsequent synth-pop and electronic acts. From Depeche Mode to The Killers, Heaven 17's innovative production techniques, lyrical themes, and melodic sensibilities have inspired generations of musicians.
