Magazine were an altogether remarkable band who paved the way from Punk to Post Punk, towards something more sophisticated and complex, along with the likes of Pil, Wire, Gang of Four and Joy Division. They weren't built for chart success though. Dostoevsky on vinyl was never likely to appeal to a mass audience. This doesn't make this, the stand out single from 1980's The Correct Use of Soap any less splendid.
