Wire - Send
Posted by: Tim Jones on 16 June 2003
Having waited two months, the new Wire CD finally arrived at my flat before I left for work this morning, while in a spooky moment the vinyl version arrived at work as I got there this morning.
It's very, very good. The short, slabby, breakneck songs of Pink Flag are there, but so are the bigger soundscapes of 154. The whole thing sounds incredibly visceral and compelling, and distinctive. It also has a unique electricity that, for all their worth, "new wave revival" bands like yeah Yeah Yeah seem to lack.
