Blinko and Greville had met years prior in Langleybury Comprehensive secondary school. Greville had been playing drums since he was young, beginning lessons at the age of 10, and slowly became interested in punk rock around the time the first Sex Pistols album was released. After meeting Blinko through a mutual friend, the pair began the experimental electronic duo the Magits, formed in 1977 and dissolved around 1980. The Magits released their first and only EP, Fully Coherent , in 1979 as the first record on Blinko’s newly formed Outer Himalayan Records. In his 2006 book The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980–1984 , punk historian Ian Glasper referred to the sound of the Magits’ EP as a “meandering collection of keyboard torture”.
