Still have this kicking about on vinyl somewhere. there was PLENTY of crap about around this time that stopped this lot becoming as successful as they should have been. A real shame! The ones that got away sadly... Thanks for posting.
A fan from the beginning, 32 years. So happy to have been exposed to this phenomenal band being from NYC in the 80's and no outlet except WWLIR/WWDRE radio station. 6 hits on this album. Very underrated.
@@mel-lp2pk At what point in any time in the past did 92ktu (Paco, Disco, house and Freestyle), Z100 (Kiddie pop), WBLS (The great Frankie Crocker and the Quiet Storm) or Kiss FM 98.7 not 98.3 ever play Secession, A Dark Enchantment????????? That is what this post was about. I liked those stations, had many of my friends music played on those stations but none played Secession or the music I was deeply passionate about. I was born and raised in the Bronx in the 60's and very much into the various music scenes of the 70's, 80's & 90's and none of those or any other station played SECESSION or New Wave. Like I stated, I am so very happy to have been exposed to WLIR & WDRE 92.7 FM at that time. NYC had no other outlets for Alternative, New Wave, Dark Wave, Gothic and other genres that these stations played with the exception of some college radio stations that had brief 4 hour runs of Gothic, Metal and some New Wave. My apology if this came off harsh. It was not my intention.
...many a night time of my youth dancing to The Magician calling for my freedom of my unfound life and love. But the dancefloor and noticing people in the rhythm as one in and through the music and the need to move together with it.. happy or busy or both.
Look at my thumbnail! What am I holding? My ONLY CD!The rest is in files. I bought it new in1987? Lost it. Looked for it on the internet. There it was “At gem records “. $145.00. Are you kidding me? Was the second one in the stack at the pawnshop I pawned it at 8 years before. In Little Rock Arkansas. I gave him s2.00 .
This is my first time listening to the album though The Magician instantly became my Blue Adept Ad Liberteum or Liberateum ad Infinituum. The skies are blue, the seas are blue...now that We're all here, too❣️
I as well. We were able to get my friend who is a very famous house/dance music DJ to play about 8-12 songs or 45 minutes of New Wave songs at Studio 54 and a few other clubs he was the DJ at. One of those songs was either The Magician, Michael or Touch. He did this for 5-10 of us who were into this band. He is an amazing guy and friend.
Sure the synthesizer sound modules sound outdated but they have some nice compositions going on here. I think they sound more like China Crisis than Depeche Mode

One of the most underrated bands of all time, Peter Thompson's lyrics were away ahead of his time. R.I.P Peter.

I was looking for this band since 2013... One album of this band in my pc was erased the last time when i heard them. ¡Thanks!.

Love the entire album...♡

If TOUCH was on this album it would've been perfect!
Exactly! ;)
most underrated band ever
I consider myself one of the few fortunates that knew about this band back then
I as well. We were able to get my friend who is a very famous house/dance music DJ to play about 8-12 songs or 45 minutes of New Wave songs at Studio 54 and a few other clubs he was the DJ at.

Me too
@@julianmonserrate7022 years too late, but that’s awesome! I would love to hear their music in a club again

Nothing like china crisis for those of us old enough to remember, closer to New Order than anyone else.
Super re ok
this was not the album. the album ended with eventide. i'm guessing this was the cd version?
This reminds me of Depeche Mode, but with an even raspier voiced lead singer.
Pete,,, RIP.
Like'em swong with listen a La Cassette and Brad Jenkins from as boutiqualè boyband.
🖤♡🖤♡🖤♡
Amazing sound ...just poor management.
“Eventide” sounds similar to the water levels in Super Mario 64.
