Mute will reissue seven Wire albums -- 1981's Documents and Witnesses, 1987's The Drill and The Ideal Copy, 1988's A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck, 1989's It's Beginning To & Back Again, 1990's Manscape, and 1991's The First Letter -- many of which are currently a rarity in most American record stores. Although the albums are straight reissues (no remastering or bonus tracks), the idea behind the reissuing is to make them widely available once again. Mute's Essential Collection began with four DAF (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) reissues in 1998 and will continue down the road with more from Cabaret Voltaire in 2000 and DAF, Swell Maps, and Fad Gadget down the road. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 02:36:33 -0800 (PST) From: kevin eden Subject: m tegner Matthias Tegner is still around and involved with Origin.

If the former, I know I've got it tucked away on a tape *somewhere*, though finding it could take, god knows, years (my desultory search for the SNUB with the Mekons' Hole in the Ground video/interview, which I *know* I recorded circa 1987/88, is now more than a decade old ... in retrospect, sure would've been nice if I'd labeled things). I've deleted the first references to this, but if memory serves it was mentioned in conjunction with an appearance by the band on 120 Mins a couple of years after that ... All I remember -- or *seem* to remember -- is an appearance by at least 3 of them in conjunction with the Ahead video ...

I was lucky enough to find one at a chain store here (with "here" being Little Rock, I think that may qualify as a miracle under the precepts of the Catholic Church) back in '95 or whenever it came out. I also wonder if we're talking about the US or UK version of Manscape ... Even with Coatings I think there's a Manscape-era track that's eluded me (I'm waaaay too sleep-deprived to check the discography, plus have to go to start getting ready for work shortly ... damn, do I wish I still kept caffeine in the house), not to mention Vien. (Don't suppose anyone really desperate for the Colin interview 12" would want to trade something like Vien -- or, hell, that bonus CD with We Means We Starts, etc. -- for my spare copy?)

Hmm... well, for me the best solo material is Dome, so I'll half agree, while tending to favor Bruce. All subjective, of course. In fact, I like a lot of Graham and Bruce's stuff (alone and together) more than post-154 Wire.
