Wire: Colin Newman (vocals, guitar); Graham Lewis (vocals, bass); Bruce Gilbert (guitar); Robert Gotobed (drums).
After THE IDEAL COPY ushered in the '80s resurrection of Wire, how did the enigmatic quartet follow through? Only by releasing its most accessible, listener-friendly, and engaging record yet. The album's title reflects the stream-of-consciousness thinking and abstract notions that set this Lou Giordano, John Siket.delightful art-pop offering off from most of Wire's other records and a great deal of what was going on in rock & roll during the twilight of the '80s. Taking guitars, basses, keyboards, and drums, and processing them through all manners of electronic cuisinarts, Mssrs. Newman, Lewis, Gilbert, and Gotobed concoct a series of songs glistening with fragile melodies, hypnotizing rhythms, and lyrical puzzleboxes. From the chunky grunge of "The Finest Drops," to the labyrinthine constructs of "Boiling Boy," and the shimmering atmospherics of "Follow the Locust," it's easy to lose oneself in this collection's multi-hued textures. An underrated work worthy of closer attention.
