Description

Red Vinyl. Enduringly credible, Magazine have always been the music connoisseur's choice; frequently name checked by some of the most gifted musicians of recent years including Radiohead, Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker, U2, Johnny Marr and MGMT. NME. Com went so far as to included Magazine in a poll as one of the most influential bands of all time. Created by frontman, Howard Devoto - who co-formed Buzzcocks with Pete Shelley - Magazine's sound focused on the double barrels of Dave Formula's swirling keyboards and John McGeoch's ahead-of-it's-time innovative guitar work, underpinned by Barry Adamson's pulsing yet deviously irregular basslines. Atop of this sat Howard Devoto's lyrics. Leading the vanguard of post-punk, their released four groundbreaking albums before disbanding. 1978's Real Life is repressed for the first time on colored vinyl and features unseen images and new notes from band members compiled and curated by Rory Sullivan-Burke.

    • A post-punk classic...gets better every time you listen to it
I first heard of Magazine when I heard the cover version of The Light Pours Out Of Me by Ministry, and I completely fell in love with it, so I decided to give this album a try. And what can I say, this was just fabulously put together. It starts off with Definitive Graze, with a catchy electronic keyboard riff that pulls you right in. My Tulpa is also the same, and one of my personal favorites. And of course the one with the most memorable ascending guitar riff on the chorus, Shot By Both Sides. It even contains several classic punk tunes, or high-speed and high-energy progressions, such as Recoil and even the bonus tracks were fantastic, especially My Mind Ain't So Open and Touch And Go. I have to admit that post-punk bands have had so much to offer to the music industry, maintaining their roots in pissed-off and high-energy nail-you-in-the-balls attitude, and at the same time not being confined to the simplicity of classic punk rock. I wish I had started listening to it sooner. ... show more

    • Classic and remastered
This has always been one of my favorite albums of the early 80s (yes, I know, it came out in 1979). Howard DeVoto's voice, light use of synth, punky but not at the expense of songwriting. I was glad to get this remastered edition. In my opinion, the improved sound is the reason to get it; the bonus tracks are a nice bonus, but not the reason to buy the album. ... show more

    • Interesting Record
The big influences here which are being combined with punk aggression are early Roxy Music, and Brian Eno. The band's sound frequently emulates Roxy, and the songs themselves show these influences ("Motorcade"/"The Bogus Man", "Great Beautician"/"Back in Judy's Jungle", and you can't tell me that "Burst" and "Parade" don't remind you of Bryan Ferry). So if you ever wondered what Roxy Music would have sounded like had they given Brian Eno a much bigger role in the band rather than kicking him out, and then stayed relevant till the age of punk and managed to incorporate its influence in - well, it would have sounded something like this. Having said that, I don't mean to imply that Howard Devoto is anything other than brilliant and original. He's a great frontman; a great lyricist who constructs original and strong vocal lines. He's what makes this band and this album must-hear. The remastering here is quite great, and John Leckie's rather perfect and glistening production shimmers. The light pours out of this record. ... show more

    • Not punk at all
Some reviewers have muddied the waters by mentioning DeVoto's Buzzcocks roots. It seems that all along he wanted to be Bryan Ferry, with a bit of a snear in his voice. The musicians are superb & have a sophistication not generally found in punk. God knows how Magazine put together so many great songs & arrangements in their first two albums, but there was no one else even half way close to them 20 years ago. I just listened to their compilation CD & it could have been made yesterday, it sounds that fresh. ... show more

    • Rhythm and dirge
What a classic album. I like this one better than "Secondhand Daylight" because the first four songs are such grabbers. It's appropriate that people who purchase this also purchase "Marquee Moon" by Television because the vocals are not pop-pure. If Tuxedomoon were still in print, that would be a good combination. Unlike today's canned trash, this music allows you to dance and think at the same time. ... show more
