Debut album from 1988.
Luxuria was one of Howard Devoto's post-Magazine ventures, and seems to be a personal favourite of his. He teamed up with guitarist Noko (Norman Fisher-Jones), and released two albums of material that didn't differ too much from the Magazine blueprint, except insofar as there was a definite nod in the direction of Synth-Pop.
Devoto's lyrics are as literate & enigmatic as ever, and the album is good.
This album is part of a 3-disc set, containing both of their studio albums, plus a bonus live disc. More to follow...
RoviMusic 3/5 stars.
Great band Tiggi! I loved both of the Luxuria albums.
