wire in the 80s



i finally picked up wire’s 1987 record the ideal copy. i’d been meaning to get it after being reminded about the great song “ahead” that’s on it (check quarterbar’s re-work of it below). well, the record is good. some of it’s kinda of goth-sounding with foreboding vocals and sparse, droning instrumentation. other songs are upbeat and bright. it definitely doesn’t sound anything like the artsy punk wire of the 70s. good but different.

wire “madman’s honey”
wire “ahead (II)(quarterbar drum-up)”
