Tomas Mureika from AllMusic called Heartland "One of the strongest -- and most unappreciated -- albums of the new wave era" and singled out "Catch Me I'm Falling" as the best track on the album. Mureika said "The title track is a stirring, brooding anthem, worthy of U2 's powerful early new wave days, complete with wailing guitar solo.
In 2001, Zeromancer released the album Eurotrash, which featured a cover version of the song "Send Me an Angel" by Australian band Real Life, the original having been a major hit in 1983. A music video was created for the song "Dr Online".
The album spawned two singles, "Doctor Online" and "Need You Like a Drug", and a cover of Real Life's "Send Me an Angel (Real Life song)". Need You Like a Drug hit number one on the Deutsche Alternative Charts in 2002. [1]
In addition to another new recording (and two remixes) of "Send Me an Angel", the album also includes cover versions of twelve other 1980s new wave classics by acts such as Depeche Mode, The Cure, Eurythmics, Tears for Fears, and Gary Numan. After another lengthy hiatus, Sterry resurrected Real Life again in 2020 with a new studio album, Sirens.
Their self-titled debut album contained 13 tracks, one of which was a cover of the 1980s pop hit, Send Me An Angel (originally by Real Life).
