"Images of Heaven" comes from Emotional Disguise, Peter Godwin's 1982 EP, and it's sleek, cool-headed synth-pop that glides rather than dances. Godwin wrote the words and music himself, and Georg Kajanus produced, with Warren Cann on drums, Gary Twigg on bass and Colin Wight on guitar synthesizer, whose glassy tones give the track its chilly shimmer.
