Formed by Howard Devoto in 1977, after he had recorded the landmark punk EP "Spiral Scratch" with The Buzzcocks, Magazine added high drama and rigorous intellect to punk's kamikaze attack. Their classic debut single, "Shot By Both Sides", was released two days after The Sex Pistols split and pointed the way ahead for savage, compelling rock music. Today their influence can be heard in the likes of Radiohead and Muse, but during their short career Devoto's outfit were trailblazers who defined rather than followed fashion. Maybe It's Right To Be Nervous Now, compiled with Devoto's assistance, cherry picks choice tracks from all four Magazine albums complemented by markedly different alternative versions and a bounty of unreleased live tracks.
Magazine's armoury consisted of searing angular guitar riffs, insistent metronomic beats, brooding undercurrents and dark anxieties expressed by Devoto's angry but glacial vocals. Co-founder John McGeogh is one of the most underrated British guitarists of his era but, though Magazine prided themselves on exemplary musicianship, intensity rather than grandeur was Devoto's objective. It is a goal pursued unflinchingly through the epic "Back To Nature", the wracked but tumultuous "A Song From Under The Floorboards" and the insatiable "Permafrost". Thrilling interpretations of Sly Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)", Captain Beefheart's "I Love You, You Big Dummy", a terrifically contorted overhaul of James Bond theme "Goldfinger" and an outrageously burlesque rendition of The Buzzcocks' "Boredom" show that even when performing cover versions, Magazine were true originals. --Gavin Martin
