''From Luxury to Heartache'' is an album by New Wave band Culture Club , released in 1986 (see 1986 In Music ). ''From Luxury to Heartache'' was a deliberate departure for Culture Club, a move away from the reggae-flavoured pop of their previous releases into Dance oriented music. Veteran pop and R&B producer Arif Mardin , replaced Steve Levine , in a bid to revitalise the band's sound. Despite chart success with the opening track "Move Away", Boy George decided for a solo career within a year of the album's release. The band reformed in 1998 .
