1. Whatsoever fans of this odd 1989 tape? Its a live album, just its been heavily candy in the studio. Its quite electronic-sounding. No crowd noise, glossy and stiff. Information technology has a potent period charm though I suppose fans of raw fare might be put off. I just revisited the CD concluding nighttime and information technology sounded improve than I recalled.

   Whatsoever other examples of albums that follow this methodology? King Crimson'south "Starless and Bible Blackness" and Zappa's "Sheik Yerbouti" immediately spring to listen, though they've aged a bit more gracefully since the studio tinkering had a warm 70s amuse.

2. I e'er liked it, and I didn't realize at the time exactly what they had done with the material. I knew it had the experience of a compilation and there was prior material done in a different manner, just I could never quite put my finger on it. Alas, I didn't really care and just turned it upwards.

3. Many other Zappa records
   Grateful Dead's Canticle Of The Dominicus and Infrared Roses
   Neil Immature's Rust Never Sleeps and Life

   I remember we accept had other threads nearly this. Never got around to hearing this Wire record although I have always been curious nigh it.

   I like this anthology, even the 'tame-for-Wire-standards' hit unmarried "Eardrum Buzz". Of course, information technology, and other records of the time hold a special place in my heart, every bit it was the time when I met my future wife, and we were both working at a record store in DC.

5. I passed-up the album at the time of release. I wasn't totally enamored of Wire'due south development in the 80's.

   I've seen the postal service BC Gilbert version of the band twice now, and I hunted downward everything I'd missed past the group afterward seeing them on the Red Barked Tree tour. IBTABA was i of the holes in my drove along with the four-song Eardrum Buzz EP and a couple other things. I must have heard bits of IBTABA at the fourth dimension, but was turned-off past the thought of their re-recording recent material. In fact, the versions on that album are ofttimes superior to earlier recordings and I call up that was part of the album's inspiration, that the group was unhappy with some of their recent work.

   Anyway, 23-years on I consider information technology a fine album in their itemize... much more satisfying than Manscape or The First Letter.

6. I quite liked mid-80'due south Wire (for what it was) and idea IBTABA was a pretty proficient album. The version of Finest Drops blows away the before studio version especially.

7. I need to heed to information technology once more, I didn't like information technology when I first listened to it 15 years agone, but I have a feeling I might change my mind if I give it another risk, which I call back I volition do. I am a huge fan of Pinkish Flag and Chairs Missing. Cheers for bringing information technology upwardly!

8. I just recently listened to "A Bell Is a Loving cup...Until It Is Struck", I actually similar the finest drop. the instrumental and Kidney bingo

9. Wait, this is actually a live anthology? I've loved it for years but never picked up on that; information technology certainly explains the much more than ambitious edge. I always figured they were and so unhappy with the lackluster sound of A Bell Is A Cup that they re-recorded the stronger tracks. If I grab for a second-phase Wire LP, it's either IBTABA or The Ideal Copy.

10. I loved their 80s electropop(ish) 80s era, and also dear alternate versions of songs, so this 1 went downwardly quite well with me. I all the same enjoy it.

11. iv songs in, information technology's peachy, I dig it more than than I call up at the fourth dimension I first listened to it. I remember I was incorrect to just dismiss it outright, guess I was but pissed it wasn't pink flag good at the time and.

12. _The A List_ is an fantabulous compilation of 8os Wire.

13. I actually really hope they tour the Usa in 2013.

14. They put this album out after somewhat disgruntled reception of their return - The Ideal Copy and A Bong Is a Cup. The versions recorded were originally live, but for some strange reason they decided to add to them in the studio a la Talking Heads Stop Making Sense - which was a huge hit.

    I dear the versions here ameliorate than their album versions. Only man, they've got to remaster this matter. A gem in their catalog, but harsh equally hell.

15. There isn't much prove of it, that's for sure. Information technology'southward more accurate to say that the basic tracks were live and at that place was extensive studio piece of work utilizing those basic tracks.
