Released in December 1986 on the Polestar label, Pauline Murray and The Storm's "New Age" 12-inch single marks a definitive, atmospheric shift from the frontwoman's punk rock roots with Penetration into the realms of synth-pop and darkwave. This rare collector's item features the titular track alongside "Body Music," showcasing a production style built on lush, brooding synth textures and emotive vocals that anticipated the band's 1989 album Storm Clouds. The release remains a significant, polished milestone in Murray's post-punk career, highly regarded by fans of late-1980s alternative electronic rock.
