I suppose it depends where you measure from; where the sea stops and rivers start, etc. Surely map ref must be the only song in the world to give a name check to cartologists. Don't you just love Re. bands that sound like/ are obviously influenced by Wire: I saw an outfit called Whine (great name) about five years back at the Laurel Tree in Camden. They were so good I had to go and tell the guitarist afterwards -asked him if he liked Wire, and that light went on in his eyes that we all know and recognise on meeting another Believer ... It was nothing as crass as plundered riffs, just an overall impression. Anyone know anything of them?

That said, there's a magic about contact with an instrument of creation. I'd bid my everything I owned on Leonardo's pen.
