suicidewatch: Wire, 1977“Well, for all its faults, I think the punk era solidified the notion of the crossover between the arts and music.  Culture was something that could be explored and was worthy, whether the audience was big or small.  The situation we are in at the moment could not have arrived, I’m fairly sure, without the punk period.  The notion of the “do it yourself” aspect to these things, and the fact that people came out of the closet with their artistic aspirations seems to be not as embarrassing as it was in previous times.  You know the concept how, all very embarrassing, they always got a bit strange after the third album kind of syndrome which was certainly part of the sixties mentality in terms of the music industry.” Wire’s Bruce Gilbert in interview - 1999

    (by MULAN SERRICO)

    Out on SDZ Records.

    “Debut single from this French/American duo. In the same vein as Brainbombs, Drosofile are hellbent on creating a perfect soundtrack for the serial killer in all of us. Simple and relentless percussion, manic vocals, and noisy guitar repetitions help create a general uneasy feeling that’ll make you wanna kill a motherfucker.” Ongakubaka

    One of last year’s best releases, UK beatmaker Bullion’s Limited Edition LP ‘You Drive me to Plastic’ is already sold out, but you can download the digital for 2.50GBP. Bargain!

    “Despite each cut having an incredibly self-contained entity due to Bullion’s contrite mixing, the clash of soundscapes and ideas blend together in one tangled mass of creation. Together it sounds awkward and clunky, yet surprisingly works.” TLoBF

    Agree with the top commenter, the recorded version is better, but it’s great that they did a whole new arrangement for live. Recorded in 1964.

    Forgot to share this Steinbrüchel gem from last year. Blissful electronic soundscapes almost to the point of a drone. From last year’s ISAN Remixes on Simon Scott’s Keshhhhhh label.

    Isan’s glacial original ‘Eastside’ borrows its title from the name of the Birmingham gallery in which the piece was conceived and composed, where “Over the course of 9 weeks, a sonic environment emerged from ten speakers placed around the gallery, based on recordings made and tones generated within the gallery, only reaching it’s final form in the last two weeks”.
