The Wire Magazine: 68 Bass Tracks: 21 - 30

[Ian Townsend]

Onwards we go! I guess to call this a 'bass' list is misleading as The Wire themselves called it Low End Frequencies. These next 10 are dedicated to Stringer.


Neu! ''Hallogallo''

I rest my case. :D

What a bizarre list this is! I'm a long time Neu fan, but can't fathom out why they would be in this list. Maybe somebody is trying to show us what eclectic taste they have. Or is it The Emperors New Clothes?

I rather bizarrely saw that Gianto Scelsci or whatever his name is ( from the last list) mentioned twice in the Rate Your Music list of top lps from 1990 in a Waxidermy thread yesterday. Never heard of him before the Wire list, then up he pops.

I kind of like the fact this list is wilfully obscure though. Good to gradually hear 'new' stuff. That Burial track has grown on me as much as the Carter Tutti Void one has.

23 is mysteriously deleted but who's bothered when these ae at 24 and 25.

Finally there are some I recognize and a long time favourite in that Syreeta though there are surely better contenders from Stevie's back catalogue? If burbling funky synths count as low end frequency.

In Wire magazine? Surely not!
I always wonder what the Wire office's Christmas party must be like. I bet it always ends up with Come On Eileen, Hi Ho Silver Lining and Wizzard.

In Wire magazine? Surely not!
I always wonder what the Wire office's Christmas party must be like. I bet it always ends up with versions of Come On Eileen (played on nose flutes), Hi Ho Silver Lining (played atonally on zithers) and Wizzard (sung by an Indonesian village choir accompanied only by drummers hitting empty canoes).
I'm not endorsing this blatant cynicism!

Let's be 'avin 26 and 27!
26: Rush - Tom Sawyer
Marvellous. I think it was Bill Brewster who recalled seeing a DJ rocking doubles of this to lengthen the loud BEEEEEOWWWWW! intro. See Rush thread over at VG+. (http://www.verygoodplus.co.uk/showthread.php?19453-Favourite-Rush-song&highlight=Rush)

27: A Guy Called Gerald: Black Secret Technology

(I'm really struggling to hear bass or any real Low End Frequency on this too)

[Ian Townsend]

Mindful of looming VG+ Swap time I'm still on the hunt for some 'fresh' stuff!

28:Chris Watson: Vatnajokul
Not my bag at all being a field recording but there are peeps who love this kinda stuff.

29: God: Lord, I'm On My Way

"An industrial / free jazz band from Great Britain that was associated with the grindcore and industrial metal scenes. Conceived in 1987 by saxophonist and prolific experimentalist Kevin Martin with guitarist Shane Rogan but without a formal lineup until after their 1990 debut EP Breach Birth. Justin Broadrick, formerly of Napalm Death and later of Godflesh, eventually joined, and John Zorn also worked with this group. Numerous releases by the congealed nine-piece over the next four years explored dark fusions of punk, industrial, electro, free jazz and ambient dub. "- Taken from last.fm
