Front 242 - Headhunter

morphine - sharks patrol these waters

Sardinhas violentas...

Panda Bear - Boneless

Gramatik - Balkan Express

Balkan reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mix?

Lydia Lunch - Los Banditos

The Teardrop Explodes - The Great Dominions

suddenly
I came to my senses
a night on fire
put out
all traces of feeling
I'm
only concerned with
looking concerned
I don't want to get my laces burned

we talked for hours
except for the fainting
we seemed so enchanted
but now
my expression is changing
see
see for yourself I'm
run down by a train
I stand back from a shark attack
and it's all the same

I should have known
you'd seek my opinion
from all over the country
and out
to the great dominions
careful
some of the blunders of history
have been made that way
I'm still stuck in this
pickle jar
on a paper carpet

mummy I've been fighting again

Psychedelic Furs - "The Ghost In You"

Pop para o pequeno almoço, leve, mas com todos os nutrientes necessários para uma salutar audição.

Fausto - Lembra-me um Sonho Lindo

Em breves palavras que teve  com As Preces, reviu Fausto que componha muito, mas que também rasgava muito. Espero que com o acabar definitvo da sua viagem épica, tenha conseguido matar definitivamente o seu Coja Acém e que agora goze o seu grande feito. Parabéns guerreiro!

Her Name Is Calla - Dreamland

La Düsseldorf / Ich liebe dich


Só uma cidade como Dusseldorf poderia projectar bandas tão inovadoras . As maiores referências do  Krautrock (Kosmische Musik, Kraut, ou ainda Krautwave) vêm  de Dusseldorf. Tendo como os grandes cabeça de cartaz KraftwerK e Neu! Para deliciar e explorar:

Harmonia - Watussi

Musik Von Harmonia é o álbum de estreia do grupo de krautrock altamente influente Harmonia. Harmonia, era formado pelo guitarrista do Neu!, Michael Rother e o duo de música eletrônica Cluster, Hans-Joachim Roedelius e Dieter Moebius[1].
Musik Von Harmonia foi gravado entre junho e novembro de 1973, em Forst, Alemanha. Foi lançado pelo selo Brain Records em 1974. Ned Ragget, para o site allmusic escreveu:
Cquote1.svg"O álbum de estréia de Harmonia é ao mesmo tempo um produto das bandas de sua origem e um novo toque refino sobre elas, resultando em música que capta o que para muitos é o ideal do Krautrock... Ele é ao mesmo tempo lúdico e escuro, firme e mecânico, uma espécie de supergrupo que facilmente alcança e mantém esse status aparentemente exagerado, abraçando uma variedade de abordagens em trabalhos maravilhos".Cquote2.svg

Nitin Sawhney - Days of Fire

The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

The Flying Lizards - Tears


The Flying Lizards - Then He Kissed Me

Uma descoberta fabulosa !

The Cure - Kyoto Song

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hand of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream

I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new

It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

Broken Records - 'Lies'



Faust - It's a Rainy Day (Sunshine Girl)

Die zunächst noch namenlose Gruppe traf auf den Musikjournalisten Uwe Nettelbeck, der ihnen einen Vertrag bei der Plattenfirma Polydor verschaffte. Polydor richtete in einer alten Dorfschule in Wümme ein Studio ein, in das die Band mit Nettelbeck und Toningenieur Kurt Graupner einzog. Dort entstanden die ersten beiden Alben (Faust und So Far) sowie Kollaborationen mit Slapp Happy (Sort Of, Acnalbasac Noom) und Tony Conrad (Outside the Dream Syndicate).
Der erste Liveauftritt im Herbst 1971 geriet durch technische Probleme zu einem spektakulären Happening; Meifert verließ daraufhin die Band.
Ende 1972 zog die Band mit Nettelbeck und Graupner nach England, wo sie von Richard Bransons Label Virgin Records unter Vertrag genommen wurde. Kurz darauf erschien The Faust Tapes, das zum damaligen Preis einer Single (49p) verkauft wurde. Die dadurch erreichte hohe Verkaufszahl übertrug sich allerdings nicht auf das nachfolgende Faust IV, und ein fünftes Album blieb unveröffentlicht. Danach verließ Wüsthoff die Band. Rudolf Sosna starb November 1996 .
Während der nächsten 15 Jahre blieb es still um die ehemaligen Bandmitglieder; es erschienen aber mehrere Veröffentlichungen mit Aufnahmen aus der Anfangszeit in Wümme sowie Ausschnitte aus dem fünften Album durch Chris Cutlers Recommended Records.
Werner „Zappi“ Diermaier
Péron, Diermaier und Irmler fanden sich schließlich im Jahr 1990 wieder für ein Konzert in Hamburg zusammen. 1992 folgte ein ausverkauftes Konzert in London. Péron und Diermaier gingen 1994 auf eine Tournee durch Europa und die USA. Während des Aufenthalts in den USA wurden sie von Steven Wray Lobdell unterstützt. In dieser Besetzung entstand auch ein neues Album, Rien.
Ein weiteres Album, You Know FaUSt, wurde 1996 in Schiphorst eingespielt. Es folgten Europatourneen. Péron verließ die Frankreich-Tour im Juni 1997, Irmler und Diermaier arbeiten mit verschiedenen Gastmusikern weiter. Es folgten weitere Konzerte, Livealben, eine Vertonung des Murnau-Klassikers Nosferatu und 1999 ein neues Album Ravvivando.
Ab 2002 widmeten sich die einzelnen Künstler ihren Solo-Projekten: Pérons dada Events und Performances Art-Errorist, Diermaiers Offline Video Music bearbeitet Ton und Bild, Irmlers Klangbad Label und Tonstudio.
Ab Mai 2005 kam mit Diermaier, Péron, Amaury Cambuzat und Olivier Manchion (von der Band Ulan Bator) eine neue Version von Faust zusammen, die im Herbst auf dem Art-Errorist Avantgarde Festival in Schiphorst debütierte und seitdem erfolgreich auf Welttourneen reist. In dieser Besetzung entstanden mehrere veröffentlichte Live- und Studio-Aufnahmen.
Im April 2010 veröffentlichte die Formation um Hans-Joachim Irmler ein neues Doppel-Album bei Klangbad. Auf "faust is last" sind Jochen Irmler, Lars Paukstat, Steven W. Lobdell, Jan Fride und Michael Stoll vertreten.
Das im Januar 2011 veröffentlichte Album "Something Dirty" entstand in der Besetzung Diermaier/Peron/James Johnston (von der Band Gallon Drunk) und Geraldine Swayne. In dieser Besetzung traten Faust bereits seit 2008 immer wieder auch live auf.

Kendra Smith - Bold Marauder





It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
For I will buy you silver and gold and I will bring you treasure,
And I will bring a widowing flag and I will be your lover;
And I will show you grotto and cave and sacrificial altar,
And I will show you blood on the stone and I will be your mentor.
And night will be our darling and fear will be our name.
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
For I will take you out by the hand and lead you to the hunter,
And I will show you thunder and steel and I will be your teacher;
And we will dress in helmet and sword, and dip our tongues in slaughter,
And we will sing a warrior's song and lift the praise of murder.
And Christ will be our darling and fear will be our name.
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
For I will sour the winds on high and I will soil the rivers,
And I will burn the grain in the fields and I will be your mother;
And I will go to ravage and kill and I will go to plunder,
And I will take a Fury to wife and I will be your father.
And Death will be our darling and fear will be our name.
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!

Uma das melhores interpretações de sempre de David Silvian. Outro aspecto a denotar neste tema fantástico é o trabalho do baxista Mick Karn, verdadeiramente do outro mundo,

The Stranglers - Goodbye Toulouse

Rattus Norvegicus (alternative title The Stranglers IV) is the first studio album by The Stranglers, released on 17 April 1977[2]. The album was originally to be entitled "Dead on Arrival" but was changed at the last minute.[3] It was one of the highest-selling albums of the punk era in Britain, eventually achieving platinum record sales.
The album's title is the taxonomic name for the common brown rat. It was produced in one week by Martin Rushent, and was basically a snapshot of the band's live set at the time.
The first 20,000 copies of the original vinyl release included a free 7" single, containing "Peasant in the Big Shitty (live)" and "Choosie Susie". Two singles were taken from the album: "Grip", and "Peaches" (released as a double A-side with the non-album track "Go Buddy Go"), which gave the band their first major hit single, reaching No.8 on the UK chart.[4] A remastered version of the album was reissued on CD in 2001, including these three additional tracks.
The album peaked at No.4 in the UK album chart, eventually spending 34 weeks on the chart

Uma prece da pesada.



Estaba pensando sobreviviendo con mi sister en New Jersey, *
Ella me dijo que es una vida buena alla,
Bien rica bien chevere, Y voy! Puneta!

We'll keep well bred,
We'll stay well fed,
We'll have our sons,
They will be all well hung.

They'll come and play,
Their friends will say,
Your daddy's rich,
Your mamma's a pretty thing.

That maid Maria she's really O.K.

Vamos a jugar por la playa [x5]
[Let's go play by the beach]

I keep getting friends,
Looking like lesbians,
If we get bored,
We'll move to California.

They'll come and play,
Their friends will say,
Your daddy's rich,
Your mamma's a pretty thing.

That maid Maria she's really O.K.

Vamos a jugar por la playa [x5]

Yann Tiersen - La Boulange

Johann Johannsson - Odi et amo

Icelandic composer, Jóhann Jóhannsson's first two solo records - Englabörn (2002) and Virthulegu Forsetar (2004) – were released by the singular British independent label, Touch. Despite limited promotional resources, both found plenty of receptive ears, receiving glowing reviews in music media around the world. Indeed, Virthulegu Forsetar found its way onto many critics' end-of-year lists.
While working on these albums, Jóhann was collaborating with the dancer and choreographer Erna Omarsdottir for several years, performing a dance piece called IBM 1401, A User's Manual in more than forty cities around Europe. When Jóhann signed to 4AD in 2005, he immediately set about reworking this music. Originally written for string quartet, organ and electronics, IBM 1401, A User's Manual (2006) was far more expansive in its recorded incarnation. A sixty-piece string orchestra was recorded at Prague's legendary Barrandov sound stage, and the four original movements were joined by a completely new finale. The final mix, which incorporates electronics and vintage reel-to-reel recordings of an IBM 1401 mainframe computer and its accompanying instruction manual, took place in Reykjavik at the beginning of 2006.
Following IBM 1401, A User's Manual, the November 2008 release of Fordlândia was the second in a proposed trilogy based on technology and iconic American brand names. Whereas IBM 1401, A User's Manual was a personal response to technology and its inevitable obsolescence, Fordlândia springs out of a far more diffuse set of influences. It brings together the soaring grandeur of its predecessor and the plangent intimacy of Englabörn, moving between heady, melting cadences and crystalline motifs with gorgeous, dreamlike logic.
After the success of IBM 1401, A User's Manual, Jóhann's collaboration with the internationally renowned choreographer and dancer Erna Omarsdottir continued in 2005 with a new piece entitled

Mysteries Of Love. Meanwhile, Jóhann was also producing and writing music with other artists, working with Marc Almond (on the Stranger Things album), Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic, The Hafler Trio, Jaki Liebezeit, Laetitia Sadier and many others.
Alongside all of this music making, Jóhann is a founder member of the Icelandic label / think tank / art collective Kitchen Motors, which specialises in instigating collaborations and art projects across diverse artforms.

The Cult - Brother Wolf, Sister Moon

Um tema de Culto dos "The Cult".

XTC - "senses working overtime"

A pedido da minha "Manalinda". Os extasiantes XTC.

XTC foi uma banda de new wave e de rock alternativo inglesa, esteve ativa entre 1976 e 2005. A banda gravou alguns hits, como "Making Plans For Nigel", em 1979, "Senses Working Overtime", de 1982, e "Dear God", de 1986. Embora os XTC não tenham anunciado formalmente o fim da banda, em 2006, o integrante Andy Partridge anunciou que outro membro, Colin Moulding, há tempos não estava mais interessado em compor nem gravar músicas.

História da banda:
Primeiro se unindo em 1972, o duo de Andy Partridge (guitarra e vocais) e Colin Moulding (baixo e vocal) passou por muitos nomes de bandas (incluindo a Kidz Hélio e Park Star). Eles tocaram glam rock com trajes caseiros e construídos lentamente até que o baterista Terry Chambers aderiu em 1973. O tecladista Barry Andrews, juntou-se ao grupo em 1976, e o nome da banda finalmente foi resolvido: XTC. A esta altura, o movimento punk rock estava em pleno andamento, e XTC tinham encontrado o seu estilo, uma marca exclusiva de pop misturado com funk hiperativo, punk, ska, pop, reggae barroco, e art rock.

Talking Heads - "Take me to the river" - Live (Álbum da Semana)

Mais um tema do Álbum da Semana: "More Songs About Bulding and Food" desta feita ao vivo.

Can - Vitamin

Eine andere fabelhafte Band aus Deutschland

Can was an experimental rock band formed in Cologne, West Germany in 1968. Later labeled as one of the first "krautrock" groups, they transcended mainstream influences and incorporated strong minimalist and world music elements into their often psychedelic music.
Can constructed their music largely through collective spontaneous composition –– which the band differentiated from improvisation in the jazz sense –– sampling themselves in the studio and editing down the results;[1] bassist/chief engineer Holger Czukay referred to Can's live and studio performances as "instant compositions".[2] They had occasional commercial success, with singles such as "Spoon" and "I Want More" reaching national singles charts. Through albums such as Monster Movie (1969), Tago Mago (1971), Ege Bamyasi (1972) and Future Days (1973), the band exerted a considerable influence on avant-garde, experimental, underground, ambient, punk, post-punk, new wave and electronic music.[3]

Yo La Tengo - Today is the Day

i followed you ..foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door

i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till i went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday

saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same

another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
today is the day i think of you

NEU! - E-Musik

Neu! - Hero

Para os nossos amigos da Alemanha e para os outros NEU!

O Neu! foi formado em 1971 em Düsseldorf como uma variação de uma das formações de outra banda de krautrock, Kraftwerk, cujos primeiros trabalhos também foram produzidos por Conny Plank.
O baterista Klaus Dinger reuniu-se ao Kraftwerk durante as sessões de gravação do álbum debut. O guitarrista Michael Rother foi então recrutado para a banda para o término do álbum. O fundador do Kraftwerk Ralf Hütter deixou a banda nesse momento, e por seis meses a bana consistia de Rother, Dinger e Florian Schneider, uma formação que apresentava-se esporadicamente e que realizava aparições na televisão no programa alemão Beat Club.
O primeiro e homônimo álbum foi lançado em 1972 e vendeu pouco, mas atualmente é citado por diversos artistas como uma referência. Já o segundo álbum Neu! 2 apresenta alguns dos primeiros exemplos de remixes. Empolgados para gravar outro álbum, os integrantes decidiram comprar diversos instrumentos musicais. Com o capital investido pela gravadora eles puderam gravar somente metade do material para um álbum. A empresa não queria aumentar a verba pois as vendas do primeiro álbum não haviam sido boas. Para preencher a falta de material, a banda compôs o segundo lado do álbum com versões manipuladas de seu compacto já lançado, "Neuschnee"/"Super". A canção "Super 16," tornou-se tema do filme de artes marciais de 1976 Master of the Flying Guillotine, de Jimmy Wang Yu. O filme foi posteriormente referenciado por Quentin Tarantino em Kill Bill, também apresentando a canção.
Dinger e Rother eram muito diferentes quando não criavam material juntos, o que influenciou o próximo álbum do grupo, Neu! '75. Um dos lados continha produções de Rother influenciadas pela música ambiente, enquanto segundo tornou-se posteriormente uma influência para a cena punk rock britânica. A banda terminou após o lançamento desse álbum.
Entre outubro de 1985 e abril de 1986, Dinger e Rother voltaram e tentaram adicionar mais sintetizadores e um aspecto mais comercial às canções. Conny Plank faleceu em 1987. Dinger e Rother não trabalharam juntos até a década de 1990, existindo certa acidez entre os dois, parcialmente devido ao lançamento de Dinger de material do Neu! sem conhecimento ou consentimento de Rother, através da Captain Trip Records. No final de 1995 essa gravadora lançou as sessões de gravação de Neu! 4, entre 1985 e 1986. Também lnaçou Neu! '72 Live in Dusseldorf (gravado em 6 de maio de 1972).
Um álbum de tributo ao Neu! foi lançado em 1999, A Homage to NEU! (Cleopatra Records), contando com versões executadas por artistas como Legendary Pink Dots, Download, Autechre, Dead Voices On Air, Khan, Sunroof, System 7 e James Plotkin.
Os direitos do catálogo da banda são conjuntos de Rother, Dinger e Christa Fast, esta, viúva de Plank. Entretanto, por muito anos existiu desentendimento entre Rother e Dinger no licenciamento para tornar a música da banda disponível em CD. A situação foi resolvida em 2001, quando a dupla entrou em estúdio para transferir os álbuns clássicos da banda para CD. A obra foi lançada pela Grönland Records no Reino Unido.

Cupol - Kluba Cupol

Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis were members of the innovative and highly influential band Wire, whose three late 70s albums - Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 - were a fertile and increasingly abstract voyage into the possibilities of the post-punk musical universe. By 1980, the band were on the brink of losing their record deal with EMI and were starting to fragment into separate recording units. Ivo, a big Wire fan, met Bruce and Graham at a Bauhaus show, where the pair offered 4AD some material they had been working on. Shortly afterwards, the Like This For Ages EP was released under the name Cupol, followed by the full-length album 3R4, credited simply to BC Gilbert/ G. Lewis. All of Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis's 4AD material was subsequently collected on the 8 Time CD.

Talking Heads - The Good Thing (Álbum da Semana)

More Songs About Buildings and Food é o segundo álbum de estúdio da banda Talking Heads, lançado em 1978. O álbum foi significativamente mais popular que seu anterior, Talking Heads: 77, mas ainda não havia levado a banda ao grande público.
Em 2003, a revista Rolling Stone nomeou o álbum como o 382ª maior de todos os tempos, como parte da Lista dos 500 melhores álbuns de sempre. Em 2005 ele foi relançado e remasterizado pela Warner Music Group in Wikipédia

Pessoal este álbum foi o meu "abre latas com os heads" ouvido até à exaustão, interiorizado cada sucalco de vinil. O diálogo constante entre as guitarras de Byrne e Jerry, a simplecidade e actualidade das letras (todas elas de temas urbanos) traduzem-se num final num fino rendilhado como a New Wave nunca havia experimentado. Obrigatório

Obviamente um disco 5 estrelas.

Talking Heads - Found A Job (Álbum da Semana)

MUTEMATH - ODD SOUL

Nova velha escola do rock.

Fischer Z - So Long - "Uma Prece Kitsch"

So long
When I read your letter I couldn’t believe that you’d gone.
I dialled your number but no one answered your phone.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were.
They said that they thought they were ill.

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else’s car,
and drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn’t you tell me ?Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.Not waited for so long.


I’ve tried to forget you, but I found myself walking the streets.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
I’ve sent you telegrams, but you haven’t answered one.
Your mother told me, I best leave you all alone.
I hope you’re satisfied now you’ve done this thing to me.
I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.
Why didn’t you tell me ?Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.Not waited for so long.
For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were.
For so long, I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long, I hope you’re satisfied, you won’t hear from me again.
For so long, I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.
Why didn’t you tell me ?Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.Not waited for so long.

U2 - SECONDS

Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye
Where you going to now
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight

Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

In an apartment on Time Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution everyday
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, it's the puppets
Who pull the strings

Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye

It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

And they're doing the atomic bomb
Do they know where the dance comes from
Yes they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye

Joey Ramone & Ronnie Spector - Bye Bye Baby - Uma Prece Kitsch

Para além do álbum da semana, esta semana temos mais uma novidade em estreia, a chamada "Uma Prece Kitsch". Temas que fazem as delícias "kitsch" do panorama "indie".

Colin Newman ~ Alone

Newman is a member of the rock band Wire. When the band temporarily split in 1980, Newman pursued a solo career. His first solo LP, A-Z, was released in 1980 on the Beggar's Banquet label. The album veered from extremely skewed pop to more mainstream numbers, such as "Order for Order", which was compared by some to Gary Numan. A track from the demos for this LP (but not included on the original vinyl release), "Not Me", was covered by This Mortal Coil on their It'll End In Tears LP. Newman's second LP, the entirely instrumental Provisionally Entitled The Singing Fish, in which all the tracks were titled for numbered fish, was released on the 4AD Records label in 1981. A third LP, Not To, which along with original compositions reworked a number of tracks originally written for Wire , was released in 1982 on 4AD.
Following this, Newman took a grant and travelled to India to collect sound recordings.
Wire reformed in 1984. In 1986 another solo LP, Commercial Suicide was released on the Crammed Discs label. A massive change in style for Newman, the album is reflective and highly orchestrated. His next LP, It Seems, followed a similar path, albeit with far more use of sequencers — something Newman would continue to work with for a number of years. Both Crammed albums featured Malka Spigel who has been included in all subsequent solo & collaborative work.
Newman's only other de-facto solo outing was the mid-1990s release Bastard, an almost entirely instrumental release with tracks largely built from guitar loops and samples. Released on his own label, Swim ~ , the first pressing of the album was packaged with a free copy of Newman's four track Voice EP. Despite Newman's name being on the cover, he says these releases, along with several others on Swim ~, are essentially collaborative efforts with wife, and musical partner, Malka Spigel. Therefore, Spigel's albums and the pair's releases under the name Immersion could to some extent be considered Newman "solo" efforts as well (see discography).
Colin Newman's song "Alone" made an appearance in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs in a scene in which the character Buffalo Bill is sewing in a basement. This song was also covered by This Mortal Coil on their Filigree & Shadow LP.
Newman has produced, arranged and mixed various other artists. These include Virgin Prunes, Minimal Compact, Alain Bashung, Silo & Lobe on the production and arrangement side and Hawkwind, Dead Man Ray, Fennesz, Polysics and Celebricide on the mix side. He has also mixed all new Wire releases since 2000.
Since 2004, Newman has worked with Githead, a quartet composed of Newman and long-time collaborator Malka Spigel, as well as Max Franken and Robin Rimbaud.[citation needed] Colin Newman is also a director of PostEverything & runs the Pinkflag label for Wire.
