Following the departure of Wire's drummer Robert Grey in 1990 WIR had risen Phoenix like from the ashes of the acclaimed UK post-punk band after and were created to fulfil the final phase of Wire's Mute Records contract. With a more sequence based sound, WIR saw the band breaking all their own rules by creating a new sparse electronic music with Graham Lewis singing most of the vocals and even cannibalizing their own catalogue by sometimes sampling their own older material. WIR was, however, not a long-term project and besides completing their only album, The First Letter, their only other activities were a very small number of gigs and two multi-artist Inchconceptual happeningsInch under the name I Saw You. One of these was in Clapham in April 1992 on election night and the other in Vienna in Feb 1993. On that Vienna trip, in addition to playing the gig, the band recorded a radio session for the Austrian national broadcaster ORF which was organized by Peter Rehberg - later the person behind MEGO & sadly no longer with us. This was released in 1996 by Touch on CD and consisted of two long tracks with a running time of almost 25 minutes. Once the short run of CDs had sold out, the rights technically fell to the band, and pinkflag released it - digital only - in 2007.. The remastered 2025 edition adds a newly recorded, Taylor Swift style re-recording of what is undoubtedly WIR's most pop moment, the dark brooding shadows of So and Slow. The version released here is based on how the band played it live, so, in spite of being instantly recognizable, it does not follow the arrangement of any previously released version. Album Tracks 1. The First Letter (2025 Re-Master) 2. Sexy & Rich (Janet) (2025 Re-Master) 3. So & Slow (2025 Re-Recording)

With a battery of custom built software instruments, samples, and 7 live lopers, Christopher Tignor and master percussionist Theo Metz saturate our senses with new colors reflecting the urgent vitality of their South Bronx neighborhood. At times the two seem to lock talons like eagles in a death spiral, as Metz's brutal percussive athleticism keeps pace with Tignor's machines in an aural game of chicken. Album Tracks 1. Like Waves We Will Keep Coming on 2. Shoot Between Heartbeats 3. Coded Lanuage for 4. Landscape Architechture 5. Replicant 6. Crystal Beaches 7. The Light Behind Your Light Is Changing 8. [Untitled]
