In 2017, a devoted Wire fan picked ten tracks from "21st Century Wire":<br /><br />https://thenewvinylvillain.com/2017/03/15/an-imaginary-compilation-album-113-wire/<br /><br />The song "One Of Us" (from the 2008 album Object 47) is a flawless Colin Newman song, as is "Ahead" (from 1987's The Ideal Copy).<br /><br />Randy (above) may be aware that there is an entire album of "Outdoor Miner" covers called A Houseguest's Wish.<br /><br />jonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768659223034248624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-62488449339307883092020-02-12T08:28:56.140-08:002020-02-12T08:28:56.140-08:00Just listened to all of "Change Becomes Us.&q...Just listened to all of "Change Becomes Us."

The first thing I heard was 2011's Red Barked Tree, which I enjoyed (especially Please Take). I then backtracked with Chairs Missing and 154, which are both excellent. Just recently got Mind Hive and am looking forward to spinning that one.<br /><br />Great band - totally agree with the Eno/Buzzcocks comparison.<br /><br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-72495353369308411692020-02-12T06:08:51.754-08:002020-02-12T06:08:51.754-08:00Should also mention that Colin Newman's solo a...Should also mention that Colin Newman's solo albums are always interesting, tho like Wire, the first three (Singing Fish, Not To, A-Z) are the most engaging.

A few of them tout it as their best album since Change Becomes Us, so that's one to check out, too. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJOW5ijQ4MFnvZxhdCHha6QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
