We have British Electric Foundation on the cover of this month’s Electronic Sound and our lead feature is the story of BEF’s debut album, ‘Music For Stowaways’. It begins at The Human League’s HQ in Sheffield in late 1980, with Martyn Ware being ejected from the band and Ian Craig Marsh deciding to leave with him. What followed was a whirlwind year, with Martyn and Ian releasing ‘Stowaways’, initially only on cassette, and at the same time hooking up with Glenn Gregory and getting to work on Heaven 17’s ‘Penthouse And Pavement’ album. “We wanted to present this notion that you were entering our universe,” says Martyn. “We were creating an alternative fantasy existence, because the real world – I mean, I was living in a two-bedroom council house – had no glamour to it. At all.”
