COLIN NEWMAN
A-Z
1980 Canada pressing

The first Colin Newman solo album that was meant to be the next Wire album.
That is… until EMI decided to get fucky.

It’s a wonderfully weird record. There’s definitely some none-Wire sounding moments on it, but ultimately, it doesn’t stray too far from that band’s awesomeness. It’s every bit as great as those first three records, and to this day, it’s far and away the best solo work.

“& Jury” is awesome, and “Alone” was actually used in The Silence Of The Lambs.

Pink Flag is the debut studio album by the British post-punk band Wire. It was released in November 1977 through Harvest Records. It was produced by Mike Thorne, recorded from September to October, 1977, in Advision Studios, London. The album was acclaimed on release, and has since been highly influential; today it is regarded as a landmark in the development of post-punk music.

Reviewing in 1978 for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau called Pink Flag a "punk suite", praised its "simultaneous rawness and detachment" and detected a rock-and-roll irony similar to but "much grimmer and more frightening" than the Ramones...

...Pitchfork writer Joe Tangari summarized the album as "a fractured snapshot of punk alternately collapsing in on itself and exploding into song-fragment shrapnel." - Wikipedia

Nanocluster Vol. 1 - Immersion with Tarwater / Laetitia Sadier / Ulrich Schnauss / Scanner

Immersion's first Nanocluster collab, this time with Tarwater (Bernd Jestram & Ronald Lippok), Sadier (Stereolab), Schnauss (quite a lot), and Scanner.

All are generally electronic-focused, as you'd expect. Another strong set across four sides of the double-10" EP.
