Heart Land was the debut album from Australia's Real Life, out at home in November 1983, and it's synth-pop romance with a new wave chill running through it. David Sterry sang and played guitar, Richard Zatorski handled keyboards and violin, Allan Johnson played bass and Danny Simcic drums, with Steve Hillage producing.
"Send Me an Angel" is the reason anybody outside Australia knows it: a sleek, yearning synth anthem that carried the band onto charts around the world, with "Catch Me I'm Falling" following it out the door. At home the album hung around the Kent Music Report for 27 weeks, peaking at number 30, and the Countdown Music and Video Awards named it Best Debut Album of 1983. Flame came next.
