A good moment then to gather together 10 standouts from the three classics, all reminders of why the art-punk provocateurs were so compelling to begin with, and remain so influential now. 1 REUTERS Monochromatic colours nailed to the mast, PF's opener concludes with the chilling refrain "Rape". We duly sat up and listened. 2 OUTDOOR MINER As close as they came to straight pop (and a hit) 3 LOWDOWN Taut, tense, resigned, menacing: a PF highlight 4 MAP REF Geometry, lyrical and musical, informs this paranoid post-punk anthem 5 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT The track that kicked off the wonderful but opinion-dividing Chairs Missing 6 EX LION TAMER "Stay glued to your TV sets" commanded (and predicted) Colin Newman 7 I AM THE FLY Hand claps, glam stomping and a nasty but matter-of-factly delivered lyric 8 PINK FLAG Relentless dystopianism that captured 1977 Britain with eerie accuracy 9 TWO PEOPLE IN A ROOM And are they sitting comfortably? No their "facial movements betray a private display of nervous disorder" 10 A QUESTION OF DEGREE Vice-like musical suffocation from Chairs Missing. Truly, superbly creepy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2006 20:46:47 +0000 (GMT) From: Monochromatic Man Subject: [idealcopy] reissued again So what else (besides pristine sound) should convince me to buy these again?

I think we're the last surviving Wire fans... Now if they signed the copies going to everyone on this list...maybe even a limited box set for the copyists? I'd be happy with a thank you for buying these again. wnd3 - --- Ari wrote: > that's what I want to know, I already have 'A' > remastered PF (circa 1994) w/ 2 extra trax, (which > means I already own 2 PF's) is there ANY reason I > should pay out a THIRD time? shouldn't 'the Boyz' > send > us all copies anyway for being on the list?
