"Moving Away from the Pulsebeat" is a Pete Shelley song, words and music both, from Another Music in a Different Kitchen, the Buzzcocks' debut album, which United Artists put out in March 1978. It catches a punk band in the middle of rebuilding itself. Original singer Howard Devoto had walked, bassist Garth Smith had been fired, and in this third lineup Shelley had stepped up from guitar to take the vocals as well.
Martin Rushent produced it and Doug Bennett engineered, and the record they made is the first full-length statement from a band that had already lost its first voice.
