After getting apart from their early group, The Human League, Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware formed the production company British Electric Foundation (BEF). BEF’s first recording was a cassette-only album called Music for Stowaways and an LP called Music for Listening To. Shortly after, they completed their line-up when they recruited their friend, photographer Glenn Gregory, as vocalist. The band's former colleagues The Human League had gone on to major chart success in 1981, Heaven 17 struggled to make an impact. In 1982, with Heaven 17 already established with Glenn Gregory as the lead vocalist, B.E.F. released an album entitled Music of Quality and Distinction Volume One on Virgin Records, which involved other artists covering classic songs. The production was mainly in the Heaven 17/ B.E.F. style. B.E.F are currently working on a project titled Dark, with Ware explaining the album would consist of "very dark versions of tunes that have to be of a certain type.
