Personally, I fucking love A to Z. It's a great record, and the second and the last song on side 1 are CLASSIC. Unfortunately, my vinyl copy has been scratched on that last song side 1. BUMMER.

---> oops. i guess meant Graham Lewis. thanks for the correction, i appreciate it. haha. like i said, OOPS!
holy shit. i never thought AC Marias would come up anywhere in a million years. this was one of those purchases i made like 3 years ago just based on the fact that it was a Mute release.
and ...
i didn't notice the Bruce Gilbert involvement, but i suppose that i shouldn't be so hard on him post 154.

I only have the Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish / Not To CD, and man oh man it's disappointing.

"Newman, with admirable pluck, reminded us that there was more Bertolt Brecht in Paul McCartney than even the most addled 1977-era Wire theorem could envision."
I dunno. This just rubs me the wrong way. Eh.

I love Colin's 80s solo albums, the two He Said and AC Marius albums but have always been lukewarm to some of the other stuff. On my list of projects is to compile a best of from Dome, Lewis/Gilbert, solo Gilbert, P'o, Duet Emmo, Demond Simmons, Cupol and a few other names I can't remember.

Rolling Upon My Day by Dome is excellent.

Man, I just did one! Great minds and all that...

I finally got around to compiling my own set of Gilbert & Lewis material. I went through everything until the mid-90s then lost interest. Here's my playlist:

Graham Lewis's new albums are out: "All Over" (song-based vocal work from the past 10 years) and "All Under" (4 long soundtrack pieces, one with spoken word and the last more song based) and are excellent!

Never heard He Said Omala until recently. "Catch Supposes" is this ambient kraut-techno beast with Graham's soft voice on top. I swear, Wire side projects are the gift that keeps on giving.

Angela Conway & Bruce Gilbert, probably better than Wire were at the time, great video...

the AC Marias album is such an underappreciated gem, although i would gladly lop the canned heat cover off my CD version
(imagine if CD bonus tracks were watermarked so you could tell your CD player to ignore the fuck out of them)
the drop / so single is even better if less breezy

I just found Dome 3&4 at Tower on sale for $11.99. I haven't been able to find 1&2 anywhere yet. 3 is pretty amazing. It's certainly a precedent to a lot of the experimental electronica and post-rock of the mid-90s like Main, Oval, Disco Inferno, etc. Recorded 1980-81, the only influences I can hear is Eno's ambient stuff, the instrumental cuts from Bowie's Low, and Eno/Byrne's My Life In The Bush of Ghosts, with its sampled rhythms and ghostly, floating processed voices (who was A.M.C.?). Maybe a little contemporary Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle too.
I'm listening to Dome 3 today for the first time in a while and I'm ready to proclaim it the greatest of all Wire-related projects (outside of Wire). The other Dome albums are fine but this one is just perfect. Weird we've never polled them here. If we did, this one in a landslide.

Listened to The Shivering Man as such from start to finish now – goddamm that is a complete and wonderful thing.

Hi - I am helping a friend write and prepare materials for a Wire (band and solo) family/related compendium being created through a Detroit-based publishing house. Hoping to find a die-hard fan/collector with all the answers, we are reaching out, looking for info on the origins of a 2010 Bruce Gilbert song "Epitaph for Henran Brenlar" on "The Shivering Man" album. Is Henran Brenlar a real person, possibly an art school colleague?
― Jon Allen, Saturday, 6 November 2021 19:08 (two years ago) link
My guess: it's an anagram of LN HE RAN BARREN. LN is Lewis/Newman. He's saying the later Wire songs are not as well-written as the earlier ones.

it’s a composite/mashup of the names of two people Gilbert admires - Brendan Behan and err someone else I’ve forgotten (a quick search was no help)

Asking Bruce Gilbert might be the way to go with this one.
