#Wire heads: what’s your personal preference on ‘Outdoor Miner’? Album version or single version (with Thorne’s piano solo)? Just read that the band did the longer version under duress from EMI.

Got this down to 18… Struggling now…

I’ve decided to go with ‘Weaponised Dysphoria’ by #Uboa. It gets stuck in straight away and should give the audience a jolt.

This fantastic stuff from @willettsio.bsky.social. Really interesting blend of Carpenter-esque synths, hazy 90s industrial metal, and some tasty riffs/vocals. Look forward to more.

So, I finally have my long list of favourite tracks from the first incarnation of #Wire. Now begins the task of whittling 24 bangers down to a lean 15. 😮‍💨

#Blur invent #blackgaze in 1997.

Exactly! #Wire

“For arts-curious kids stranded in parts of the country where not much was going on, Clive James, Melvyn Bragg, Mark Lawson, or whoever, made it clear that esoteric cinema, strange performance art, difficult music or experimental ballet was for you...”

#Uboa heads! Which track from “Impossible Light” would you play to a room full of potential neophytes to give them an inkling as to what “death industrial” is all about?
