Wire: Issue 152
Wire is one of the premire British modern music publications currently on the
news stand. This particular issue places more focus on the Industrial genre of
music containing a deeply personal interview with Blixa Bargeld of Einstruzende
Neubauten, an introspective look at the 20th anniversary of the first Throbbing
Gristle performance art piece, and Jim O'Rourke discussing guitars with John
Fahey. Also included are pieces on Pere Ubu, Lamb, Christian Vogel, Tokyo
Techno and Henry Rollins. The most impressive thing about this magazine is
it's total lack of corporate control that overshadows so many other
publications. This has allowed Wire to speak on sensitive issues and cover the
music scene without bias, which in this era is a rare thing indeed.
