• The song that burst Blondie out of the bowels of the Bowery to #1 on the charts, “Heart of Glass” was the pivotal moment in punk’s choreographed slam-dance with the mainstream. Inspired by Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, Blondie transformed their campy “Once I Had A Love” into a Roland-driven juggernaut and never looked back.
• Explored and exploded via six distinct versions remastered from the original analogue tapes, the history of “Heart of Glass” is documented here in a copious essay and its art reimagined by noted American illustrator Shepard Fairey.

“With me it’s a psychic thing that has to do with the beat. The 4/4 heartbeat rhythm has a calming effect on the listener. It’s popular because it’s biological.” - Debbie Harry
