I’ve got a 19+ hour ‘absolute faves’ playlist on Spotify. If I could export it I’d list it here.

Heavily dominated by 70’s Genesis, and an extremely eclectic mix thereafter (50’s through to 90’s hardcore techno and beyond)

I’d struggle to drop any of them from such a list.

Played it on the big telly, nice, not familiar with them. Obviously 80s without doubt.
What do you like about them? If you don't mind me asking?

Great question mate, not perhaps easy to articulate but I’ll try. At the start it was certainly how the lyrics of heartland spoke to a younger, angrier, me. It’s definitely the track of its time IMHO. Infected was my first album of theirs and there was something I enjoyed in the contradiction of the anger in the lyrics but how they were more softly delivered, the energy coming from the music which was easy to get lost in - some of it was quite unlike anything else I’d heard. It lacked flow but that didn’t matter, if heartland was the bait, slow train to dawn was the hook. The only other album that has had that same impact on me was Embrace’s Out of Nothing although that had much more structure and flow.
