Description

With the release of the album, Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones presented Black Celebration which they produced to be more like an environment rather than a collection of songs. Their production created “a tech-noir future dystopia” that “glitters of gloom.”

Black Celebration reached number four on the UK Albums Chart, and has been cited as one of the most influential albums of the 1980s. To promote the album, the band embarked on the Black Celebration Tour. Three years after its release, Spin ranked it at number 15 on its “25 Greatest Albums of All Time” list.

The album was promoted by the single “Stripped” released 10 February, and was followed by “A Question of Lust”, released 14 April, “A Question of Time” released 11 August. Instead of “Stripped”, “But Not Tonight” was released as a single in the US, due to its more commercial appeal on 22 October.
