===1990s=== The early 1990s was a quiet period for the band, though Ware produced a second B.E.F. album in 1991, to follow 1982's original ''Music of Quality & Distinction.'' This album again featured [[Tina Turner]] and [[Billy Mackenzie]], but this time also featured artists such as [[Scritti Politti]]'s [[Green Gartside]], [[Lalah Hathaway]], [[Billy Preston]], and [[Chaka Khan]]. Ware also became a producer for the likes of [[Terence Trent D'Arby]], [[Soft Cell]]'s [[Marc Almond]], and [[Erasure (duo)|Erasure]]. Gregory, meanwhile, went on to form the band [[Honeyroot]]<ref name=bbcsouthyork>{{cite web|title=Glenn Gregory interview|publisher=BBC South Yorkshire|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/articles/2005/06/07/glenn_gregory_interview.shtml|access-date=13 November 2008}}</ref> with Keith Lowndes, then Ugly with John Uriel and Ian Wright . <ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160127105556/http://www.mtv.com/news/250046/heaven-17s-glenn-gregory/|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/250046/heaven-17s-glenn-gregory|title=Heaven 17's Glenn Gregory|author=Tortorici, Frank|date=15 May 2008|publisher=MTV|archive-date=27 January 2016|access-date=27 January 2016}}</ref> In late 1992, a [[Brothers in Rhythm]] remix of "Temptation" reached number 4 and was followed by the compilation album ''[[Higher and Higher β The Best of Heaven 17]]'' in 1993. Remixes of "[[(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang]]" and "Penthouse and Pavement" were also minor hits in 1993. However, the band would not release any new material as Heaven 17 until 1996's ''Bigger Than America''. The album failed to chart in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/bigger-than-america-mw0000033328|author=Fucito, Paul|website=AllMusic|title=''Bigger than America''|access-date=5 November 2015}}</ref>
