This band is based entirely around his latest monster analog weather synthesizer (also called "Weather Warlock")

His caustic observations encapulate the mundane stuggle of the aimless modern man

WIRE - Silver / Lead LP french and Trial Of The BowChange Becomes Us still holds up as a very good sometimes great Wire record, which makes sense when you consider that a handful of it are re works of older songs. By contrast, their self titled and slightly experimental Nocturnal Koreans were collections of mild tunes and minimal atmosphere. I was hoping Silver Lead would be more like the former, a chance to praise the band as the hardest working and best longest lasting post punk outfit. Who else?
