If some believe that "it really is," than I assume those people are of the opinion that Bruce and Graham were Colin's "side men" who would have played as they were told--not sure how anyone who knows anything about B & G could believe that. Maybe if you play Dome 1 and A-Z simultaneously you'll hear the 154 follow up. :-). Colin himself has said the idea that his solo albums are Wire "with different blokes" is totally wrong. > From: "charles / wmo" > WHoever wrote that Snakedrill/Ideal Copy is one of Wire's best - bless you! > It most certainly is! What's the list's consensus on The First Letter? Well, I'm probably the least "representational" person of this list :), but I'll say that it one of my favorite albums--better than most of their "second phase" Wire albums. Ycelpt is one of my favorite albums of the year--I play it every day. Post-154, I like the solo albums at least as much as the stuff they did together: Dome and the best of Bruce a lot more so (Ab Ovo being a good example).

Yes--"they want". Here's the catch: DGM subscribers have a right to refuse releases. I suspect that this has made Fripp fairly conservative in his offerings--mostly live Crimson that the majority of the club will garble up like Big Macs. If he presses one of his avant garde solo releases and half the subscribers write to refuse it--well, there goes the budget. I assume many Wire subscribers would be less than happy to have In Esse II show up prepaid on their credit cards. (I would be happy, but how many others?) I'm not sure how far the club takes us away from the economics of creating "popular" music--or if things would be that much different than WMO w/out a "club". Let's put it this way: when I suggested a pre-pay system to get MUZI released, the response was less than overwhelming--so it goes on unreleased. On the other side, no club was needed to make the Dome album or Coatings sell (judging from reports) well enough to make it worth everyone's effort.

Well, by "in advance" I don't necessarily mean "automatically, on one's credit card, with no notice of what one's to be billed for." It could be set up differently: say, a proposal is floated to re-press a particular CD given adequate interest, subscribers who are interested send in their checks or authorize billigns to their creidt cards, that number of CDs is pressed. The point is that no CDs would be pressed that aren't already purchased - thus ensuring no losses. - -j ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 03:22:24 -0800 From: "tube disaster" Subject: Re: bad hair day >I recall Howard Jones had a sort of receding bad 80's haircut.

Listen to Behind the Curtain and then the EMI discs. Now listen to Document and Eyewitness and try to imagine a similar kind of production jump. Although it's probably not possible to work out what the fourth album would have contained this is as good a guess as any. Also, if one looks at writing credits Colin Newman's Not To contains far more ex-Wire pieces than A-Z ...

I quote from the press release: "The 20th Century Has Left The Building Sunday 19th of December @ The Scala In aid of Warchild A last lingering look back at a century of counterculture and craziness as some of the key players and wayward icons of our time meet in a clash of performance, film and music. One last throw of the rock'n'roll dice.....a night for heroes and villains, lovers and magicians... The following people have been invited to attend to give their own insight on the 20th century, to perform pieces that have changed their lives and created part of the cultural residue that we will be taking into the next century. Anita Pallenburg Bez (Happy Mondays) Bill Drummond (KLF) Bobby Gillespie Brian Sewell Damien Hirst David Bailey DJ Harvey Howard Marks Irvine Welsh Jeff Travis - Rough Trade Jenny Eclair Jerry Sadowitz Jimmy Pursey (Sham 69) Joe Strummer (The Clash) Johny Brown John Lydon (Sex Pistols) Keith Flint (Prodigy) Ken Campell Kevin Rowland Les McEwan (Bay City Rollers) Malcolm McLaren Marianne Faithful Michael Niman Nick Cave Pandit G. (Asian Dub Foundation) Pete Wilie Pete Shelley Sir Clive Sinclair Sophie Wooly Steven Berkoff Tam Dean Burn Tony Blackburn Vic Godard Vic Reeves Film screenings: If, Oh! Lucky Man, The Magic Christian" To be honest, I have no idea which of these people will be there - but it sounds like it might be a special night. The whole event has been set up by Sean McClusky who was Vic's drummer in the days of Songs For Sale. Sean instigated Club Left and became one of London's most successful club promoters. His last venture was Club UK. ============================================= The Motion Records Website is being redesigned and in a few days will be launched with a new look and a secure credit card ordering facility.
