Magazine is another of those UK New Wave bands whose music I first heard played by the house band (Snatch) at the Majestic Hotel in Palmerston North, New Zealand, prompting me to buy their album “Second Daylight” with songs like “Rhythm Of Cruelty”, “Believe That I Understand”, “I Wanted Your Heart”, “Talk To The Body”, “Permafrost”, “The Thin Air”, “Feed The Enemy” and “Back To Nature”.
Listening to some of the tracks now I’m not so sure why I bought it, but I think it might have been “Rhythm Of Cruelty” I heard at the Majestic (though I don’t recall the women at the pub being dressed like this…):
“Believe That I Understand” might have been another one I heard in Palmerston North:
Not sure about “I Wanted Your Heart”:
Here are some more tracks from “Secondhand Daylight”, some of them seem a bit obscure for a “post punk” band, but you might like them, so I’ll let you make up your own mind…
“Talk To The Body”:
“Permafrost”:
“The Thin Air”:
“Feed The Enemy”:
“Back To Nature”:
That last one wasn’t quite what I was expecting, think I confused it with “Slow Motion” by Ultravox…
