About this album
Music Of Quality & Distinction (Volume One) is a clever and influential 1982 statement from British Electric Foundation, the project led by ex-Human League members Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. Rather than a straight covers set, it reimagines familiar pop and rock songs through crisp synth-pop and new wave production, linking early-1980s electronic experimentation with classic songwriting. The album’s mix of guest vocalists, rigid drum programming and polished arrangements helped define the B.E.F. idea: treating pop standards as raw material for modern reinvention. Its ambition and wit made it a landmark in the era’s broader move towards electronic reinterpretation.
