Pleasure One is the fourth studio album by English synth-pop band Heaven 17, released on 17 November 1986 by Virgin Records.
Speaking of the album, Martyn Ware told Simon Mayo in 1986: "I realised that while it was taking me two days to programme a machine to play a few bars, a good musician could do it in 30 minutes and probably with more feeling.
[6] Katherine Donnelly of the Irish Independent commented: "Unfortunately, Heaven 17 [have] gone gradually downhill after their glittering start and Pleasure One is their most abysmal effort to date.
The tunes sound forced, Glenn Gregory may as well be singing extracts from a computer manual for all the emotion he puts into his delivery and the lyrics veer between utter banality and offensive stupidity.
"[8] Helen Metella of the Edmonton Journal stated: "[Heaven 17] continue to produce stylish, civilized pop-soul at a snappy gait.
