You should not receive any further mailings unless requested. Thank you for your understanding and dugga. ] NEW RELEASES FROM WMO Following on from their last compilation (cf Various Artists Play Wire "Whore") WMO are pleased to announce the release of "Dugga Dugga Dugga" (WMO 8CD). In a logical extension WMO invited 14 artists to put their own spin on Wire's "Drill". Contributors include Chris & Cosey, Malka Spigel, Solex, Electric Company, Mego, Legion of Green Men, Band Of Susans as well as many 'hitherto unknown' artists, all providing their own decidedly "electric" take on the same Wire song. The master tapes were then handed to Mark Gage (aka Vapourspace) who assembled the final continuous mix. As Bruce Gilbert has been quoted, "There can never be enough Drills' in the world." We couldn't agree more! WMO are also relieved to finally announce the release of the 1983 cult classic album "Whilst Climbing Thieves Vie For Attention" (WMO 11CD) from P'o (pronounced "poe"). Fronted by Graham Lewis and Bruce Gilbert as a reaction to their studio work (Dome, Cupol, etc...), this band effort included A.C. Marias, drummer Peter Price and vocalist/artist David Tidball. The reissue includes two tracks left off the original album, plus an additional 4 alternate mixes. Please note that this release is a strictly limited edition! Both releases are available from http://wiremailorder.com/ for immediate delivery! Furthermore, WMO are pleased to announce the formation of the 1000 label. Beginning in 1999, the label will release non-Wire related recordings. Simply, 1000 will not adhere to specific genres, but strive to release new music that may otherwise be left unheard. Our first releases include the Gentle Giant sample exercise "Knots" and the debut from DJ Fake, "Serieux Vol". Submissions are now being accepted.

Lightweight, good tone, and really cool looking too. K ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 00:51:15 +0100 From: "Alex Wise" Subject: Fw: Wire guitar pedals. I read in one interview with Bruce on the net and he talked about how he favoured using noise gate effects particularly in the days of Dome.I think he would have used them in Early Wire as well.Other techniques used from this period included tape-loops and delays. I'm still sort of baffled with the effects they used in later Wire.What technique was used for the solos on 'The Point Of Collapse','Follow The Locust' and the orchestral sounds on 'Silk Skin Paws' and 'Madman's Honey'.I know there was the sampling/sequencing/MIDI use of that era.And does anybody know what instrumental setup Bruce used on 'Do you Me?I Did Part 3' and 'Here Visit' off 'This Way'? - -Alex ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V1 #149 *******************************
