DS/801 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 22:29:57 -0700 From: "charles / wmo" Subject: Newsletter 2.3 March 1998 WIRE MAIL ORDER NEWSLETTER 2.3 MARCH 1998 EDITORIAL Hello, and welcome to a new Newsletter, a new year and a new UK address, which became effective from 16th February. All correspondence to WMO UK should now be addressed to PO BOX 112, Stockport, Cheshire, SK3 9FD United Kingdom. INTERNET We now have more or less automated our internet mailing list. To subscribe to the WMO mailing list to receive the quarterly Newsletters and sporadic Bulletins, send an e-mail to list@wiremailorder.com, with a subject of the appropriate action - subscribe or remove. In addition, if you want the latest Merchandise List, send e-mail to catalog@wiremailorder.com. Be sure your e-mail program has a valid 'reply to' address for either action. INTERNET TWO In addition to the site WMO maintains at wiremailorder.com, there are two other resources for the cyber-based Wire fan. The first is THE WIRE PAGE maintained by Andrew Westmeyer. Complete everything - discography, lyrics, images - you name it it's there. The URL is http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~qwerty/wire/ Secondly, THE IDEALCOPY is the new mailing list for the Wire aficionado. Maintained by Miles Goosens, it offers lively threads on all things Wire. Details at http://www.mindspring.com/~outdoorminer/wire WMO Various Artists Play Drill "Dugga Dugga Dugga" (WMO 8CD) is next up on the WMO release schedule. The final master has been completed by Mark Gage (aka Vapourspace, Cusp) and contains 14 decidedly "electronic" renditions of "Drill" from the following artists: Solex (Matador), Incarnate (aka Legions Of Green Men, Post Contemporary), Rehberg/Bauer/Potuznick (Mego), Malka Spigel (Swim~), Electric Company (Island/Supreme/Lohd), Put-Put (These), Lift Laboratories, Baboon, Twinkotherm (Boxman), Phthalocyanine (Plug Research), Chris & Cosey (CTI), Scaredy Cat, Ibrahim, and, of course, The Ex- Lion Tamers. Our sincere thanks to the other artists who didn't make the cut. Expect news of an early summer release date once our distribution is sorted. In other news, the P'o album, "Whilst Climbing Thieves Vie For Attention" (WMO 11CD) has also been mastered and work has begun on the packaging art. Release is still tentative, but moving forward! BRUCE Bruce is featured on the new "Touch Sampler 3", released in March with a track called "Voice". His last release on Mute, "In Esse", is available from the mail order. The limited edition spoken-word CD, "The Haring" (WMO 5CD) is in short supply. It will not be re-pressed. You have been warned! Bruce is currently working on his next album for Mute. Details when we have them. SWIM~ Swim distribution has moved from Kudos to Cargo with a new Pablo's Eye CD promised in late April/early May. Ronnie & Clyde's album, "In Glorious Black and Blue", is also to be released on double vinyl at the same time. As part of the "Next 100", look for a full page feature in the latest Urb magazine on the duo. Malka's new solo album continues towards completion, with release promised for later this summer. In the meantime, Colin has begun writing a column for the Phoenix-based i/e magazine, aptly entitled "Newmanisms". Never at a loss for words, it contains Colin's musings on the current state of music! The magazine, which had a cover feature on Wir a year back (issue 10, available from the mail order) has been resurrected with an electronic bias and is now full-color and distributed nationally. GRAHAM EGL makes another appearance on yet another Ash International compilation "Decay" (Ash 3.9), with a track called "I Saved M.I.T (Yes I did)". Graham's first He Said album, "Hail!", was reissued by Mute UK on CD in January. No extra tracks, but the artwork was slightly changed. See Merchandise List. He Said Omala's "Matching Crosses" remix CD is to be released in late April. The mini-album contains five tracks remixed from the "Catch Supposes" album, by Desendence, Krister Linder, Hartly & Huhta, Bruce Gilbert and Edvard Graham Lewis. The sixth track, a new track from He Said Omala, is co-written with Roy Orbinson! WIRE An exhibition of Wire paraphernalia entitled "Between Sale and ZDRK" is being held at the Work For the Eye To Do Gallery, Charterhouse Street, London, from 1st May for one month. Exhibits will hopefully include Graham's pony-tail and Robert's drum sticks along with other Wire object-d'art. The exhibition is being curated by Wire themselves and is expected to be suitably off-kilter. Rumor is that all four members will be at the exhibition opening! In other news, Raygun magazine (no. fifty-five) has a feature on Wire with new interviews from both Colin and Bruce. A very interesting read despite the layout. CODA So, another shortish Newsletter. Newsletter 2.4 is in June 1998. Till then...
