Perhaps some American reviewers take things rather too literally... (!) Bruno<< Could be. One reviewer says that Wire is making light of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Could it be that person didn't *get* the entire album? The lyrics on "Manscape" I've seen criticized sharply, but in my opinion they're WAY ahead of their time. There's a lot of very eery prophecy running through the whole of Wire's work, especially (IMHO) "Manscape". >>You can join the forum here Sean. Ari<< Thank you. I've done that so I'll see you over there as well. :-)) Sean - -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
