Magazine Artist Snapshot:

Former Buzzcocks founder Howard Devoto left the seminal punk band after the release of its 1977 SPIRAL SCRATCH EP to form Magazine. Harnessing the energy and artistic spirit of punk and channeling it into darker and more elaborate productions (featuring synthesizers and dance rhythms), Magazine provided a key link between the more rudimentary stylings of punk's first flourishing and the later U.K. acts that would come to be known as New Wave.

Q (p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] masterpiece, an absorbing nine-song suite given a glacial sheen..."

Title Note

Magazine includes: Howard Devoto.

1979's SECONDHAND DAYLIGHT improves immensely on Magazine's debut, REAL LIFE, by adding greater musical and lyrical variety to what had been a somewhat bleak and monochromatic artistic vision. Perhaps more importantly, Colin Thurston's production is notably cleaner than John Leckie's somewhat cluttered and overdramatic sound on the first album. Dave Formula's keyboards are front and center, with John McGeoch's choppy guitar often relegated to fills and rhythm tracks, while Barry Adamson's propulsive yet melodic bass melds with John Doyle's somewhat hyperactive drumming to add a new level of tension to singer Howard Devoto's emotional yet ambiguous lyrics. The opening "Feed the Enemy" is outstanding, one of the band's very best tracks, and while some of the album doesn't match its power, SECONDHAND DAYLIGHT is an outstanding example of British post-punk.
