A wonderful band ignored by the masses even more than Wire. As for Wire fans being musically active I also hold my hand to a history and current twiddlings. I find Wire in their many forms to be a true inspiration. Maybe not a direct musical inspiration more an attitude thing. If you consider the range of their output then everything becomes possible. With regard the concept of list members musical output, I think it would probably be enormously varied. Especially given the ammount of differing opinions and votes that I've seen on the list in the last few weeks.

A wonderful >band ignored by the masses even more than Wire. Spot on! I've always placed TWP in the same category as second-era Wire (musically), and if you listen to latter day Press and latter day Wire (also Graham's H.A.L.O. album) there seem to be quite a few similarities, although TWP is much funkier! When I was listening to Immanent one time last year, my wife asked if it was TWP ("Skip the Sausage at the Terminal Hotel" was playing). Go figure. I had the honor of seeing the Press in concert opening up for (all of people) the Charlatans UK. Needless to say, they were fantastic! Cheers! Eric auteur@ix.netcom.com P.S. Doesn't it seem unbelievably odd that Wir opened up for Blur one time? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Jul 1998 01:21:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Billy D Subject: Re: Elitism/A-Z/Gender I would rather contribute one of my own compositions than a cover at this time.
