Magazine - Feed The Enemy
A moody, slightly petulant1 post-punk favourite for you today. Feed The Enemy by Magazine was the opening track from their second album, Secondhand Daylight. For some fans, this was where it all started to go wrong. Dave Formula's keyboards were high in the mix, and if there's one thing people knew back then, it was that synthesizers weren't real instruments. To be honest, there is a bit of a problem with the sound on this. It's all rather too muddy, and there are few (if any) sharp edges. I probably should have taken the trouble to sort out the live version that's on the b-side of the Sweetheart Contract 7" for you. Oh well. Never mind. It's still a good song.

1. What is it with Manchester bands and petulant, anyway? It seems to be the default setting.
