Managing to cram 21 tracks into 35 minutes, Wire's debut, Pink Flag, is an angular and cold album that is played with remarkable precision for a band that claimed to be quite unskilled at the time of recording. 12 of the tracks clock in at less than 90 seconds, running out, according to Graham Lewis, 'when they ran out of words'.
---------------------------------
es klausos taga superklasiku: Wire "Pink Flag" tā it kā dzirdētu šo ierakstu pirmo reizi, varbūt vēl kas jauns atklāsies noklausoties "Nevermind The Bollocks"?!
Tas, ka Elastica ir nozagusi no šīs plates hīta "Three Girl Rhumba" sākumu ir vispārzināms fakts. Prikoļnāks ir kas cits - The Cure ir nofizģījusi no "Ex-Lion Tamer" motīvu savai "Just Like Heaven"! Bļin, nu reāli, paklausaties!
Bet Wire albums ir ģeniāls.
