NEW MUSIK - 'Under Attack'

Bonus track from the cassette version of their classic 1981 album 'Anywhere'

[@thomasgraham5840]

Love the song. Feels like something you'd hear in the car while on vacation, remember perfectly, and spend years trying to hunt down

[@Rusty_Katana]

After a long search on the web, i finally managed to get my hands on the Japanese CD "From A to B" with "Under attack and "And" on it!! It's truly a gift from the heavens yes sir!!!

[@merlinscat]

This was an extra track included on the cassette version of the album saw this band live they were ahead of their time

[@dirklyssens8936]

Best band in the 80's.

[@psymantronic1528]

Repetitive, simplistic, clichéd and yet somehow - brilliant

[@MIMNED]

New Musik are a legend for anyone who loves the best 80's alternative synthpop. Their sound is unique, unmistakable, always extremely catchy. Front man Tony Mansfield's amazing genius gave its best in this band that deserved much, much more than it got. Each member of the ensemble possessed a great command of the instruments played: take for example the linear and metronomic drumming of Phil Towner, the drummer of the band. Do you now know, for example, uptempo songs like "They All Run After the Carving Knife" and "Changing Minds"? Try to carefully follow the perfect symmetry of the beats of these songs and be picky: you will not find the slightest mistake! The accuracy of the New Musik drummer is comparable to that of a drum machine. How many drummers do you know capable of flawlessly maintaining such a fast rhythm without ever missing a beat?

Tremendously put you follow & understand the art of individual Top Class Drumming. Spoken as a Drummer who could not get near this guy Phil Towner. Remarkable brilliant reading your piece. I absolutely follow & LovE New Musik. Remarkable individualistic Band of Time. In my heart ❤️

[@MIMNED]

@@MarkAnthony-pq9nx Phil was an outsider drummer, capable of metronomically maintaining an impeccable and long succession of beats without making a single mistake!

[@alexandersupertrammp]

I thought it was the drum machine! Fuck!!

[@jonaswarstad3324]

It was a bonus track on the Japanese CD From A To B.

[@Bumbajam]

No idea why this wasn't included on the From A to B / Anywhere CD, but there you go. Good luck tracking it down!

[@hkeagle8783]

Simply the best..great memories of the early 80s.

[@jamescatneyarbuckle5390]

To paraphrase Yello: oooooooh yessssss

[@Cl1veCan]

Me too. This is even better than I remembered it, having been played it once in 1981 by someone who bought the cassette.

[@busterabcat]

about time we got to hear this elusive bonus cassette track - thanks so much for uploading...can you also put up the other track 'AND' for us too please? :)

[@Aleinikov65]

[@ronaldcardinali2809]

And also Men at Work, the lead vocalist years later formed " The Crowded House" .

[@Rusty_Katana]

i wonder, is there still a way to obtain it from the internet or something? i'm a great new musik fan myself, and i'm dying to know if i can still get this song somewhere...there are no cassettes for sale on ebay whatsoever. i know all too well this band is underrated, but it can't be THAT underrated, can it? if someone knows something, please tell me! i'm looking all over for it!!

[@jadou163]

spotify have it all !!!Its a miracle

[@jonaswarstad3324]

If you are quick, one copy is available from Amazon UK, shipping from UK. But even if you order from Japan, it usually takes a week (unless the UK customs are veeeery curious).

[@Rusty_Katana]

yes that's right. i wonder if i can still get my hands on that cd. i have an Ebay account, it must be shipped from Japan all the way to me i guess. that will take weeks ughhhh

[@mimifast7817]

Était sur l album cassette mais non sur l album CD... Un morceau bonus.... Mais que j aime toujours autant

[@michaelzarro8871]

New musik come back please,!

[@madshutters9728]

All my life I have heard "voices" and the only thing they have to say you're going to hell (Bananarama Viva) And it IS fun when I have Eternal Suns / Stars on 27 years and Eternal Darkness on 15 years as a Child I have made !! Otherwise it would be annoying lol
