I think Adrian was around one of the band's houses and they were taping conversations. He met the band quite early on and spent some time in the van. He's a pretty singular individual and very in tune with the Wire mindset. This was very much an Adrian type of phrase, but I doubt that he could remember what the context was, although it was probably Thatcher in some way as IIRC that was all any of us talked about at the time. We met through a mutual friend, Chris, who I was at University with. We both came back after Christmas 77 raving about Pink Flag - Chris had heard it via Adrian, who was still in London at that time and already knew the band. I didn't get to meet him until a couple of years later and then ended up sharing a house with him for five years. He's lived in Boston MA since the mid 80s but I still see him when he comes back once a year.

I stand corrected! Its a good quote anyway. So how did this come about, and what was he talking about?

Really, this months Uncut is essential for us lot. Full page review, and full page photo with small interview with Colin over it. No mention of what the bonus tracks are though. In the guide to the tracklisting of the free CD (which also inc Scott Walker, but not alas anything off the forthcoming new one - built my hopes for a minute!!), it has this to say about Map Ref... By 154 "they were layering their sound with psychedelic and even prog-rock influences, and coming on like a punk remix of King Crimson". Our lads smelling of goats? Surely not! And here's a few snippets from the interview... "Wire is the most peculiarly wilful beast. At the time of the its biggest triumph, it contrives to drive the buss off the cliff". "At the time of PF, I was convinced that it was possible to reinvent rock. So I had this handful of ideas - one, expressed on Lowdown was of a slowed-down funk without any of the funk". "At the risk of sounding pretentious, Wire were 2 things at once: a rock band and an art object. The only other group who I think pulled that off were the Velvet Underground". And when asked what is the bands current state of activity, he replied "Lunchbreak". Never Say Never?
