Comment:

Wire used the basics of ’70s punk as their playbook, then set it on fire, and threw it out the window. Their earliest recordings are arty cousins to the punk patterns of the day — the sounds of the Sex Pistols and Clash as seen through the wrong end of a telescope. But the band matured with shocking speed; almost overnight, the songs got longer and stranger, the instruments and vocals more heavily processed, and the whole notion of rock was thrown to the wolves in favor a new mix of sounds. Funk, punk, dub, electro, ambient, art rock: it all had a place in the ever-evolving sound of Wire — an evolution you can observe firsthand on this collection of their finest moments, from quirky post-punk to sleek, modernist sound collages.
