This is the first time that Paul has had an album featured in The Wire magazine. Although he has been mentioned before in the mag occasionally since its inception. There have been 90 citations of him since 1984.

Verity Sharo grew up surrounded by chickens, sheep and horses on the Blackdown Hills in Somerset – a countryside setting which, combined with daily rides and regular family walks, fostered her dreams of becoming a vet from an early age. Fortunately, for us, she decided to pursue her other great love - music.



After graduating from The University of York, where she nurtured her interest in classical cello, and fiddle (and her burgeoning interest in the wider world of musical possibilities), Verity produced and anchored Pebble Mill’s Music Machine programme before going on to front BBC2’s Culture Show. She’s a familiar face of the Proms and one of the founding voices of Late Junction. She’s has also recorded TV documentaries and is the voice you might recognise in the audio guides for the British Museum and Tate Modern.

Yet, despite enjoying the buzz of city life, the need to be surrounded by the countryside has never left her,. When not leafing through a hefty music collection, Verity finds nourishment in the naked landscapes and ancient monuments of Wiltshire. In 2012, she completed her RHS Diploma in Horticulture, and when not gracing the airwaves with her dulcet tones, her interest in botany and horticulture finds her making a haven for wildlife in her very own garden.

I finally have this great album from 2007 and a top five album of the year from the Wire magazine -

Panda Bear -Perfect Pitch



Comfy In Nautica
Take Pills
Bros
Im Not
Good Girl
Carrots
Search For Delicious
Ponytail

The radical evolution of Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear's sound over the course of his solo catalogue is inextricable from the concordant developments happening with his collaborations in Animal Collective. Both entities shifted gears quickly from album to album, but the wildly different places Lennox would take his experiments truly found a voice of their own with Person Pitch, his 2007 quilt work of samples, textures, and unprecedented explorations of joy and sorrow.

The approach made Person Pitch feel all the more out of left field, with Lennox deftly constructing the album almost entirely from carefully mapped-out samples, minimal beats, and endless layers of his own reverb-saturated vocal harmonies. The divergence from band playing toward electronic composition would inform and influence a huge swath of indie rock that came after, with Animal Collective themselves catching up to Panda's electronic leanings by the time of their high-water mark, 2009's Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Though comprising just seven tracks, not a second of time is wasted over the course of Person Pitch. From the loop of clapping that brings "Comfy in Nautica" into focus to the gentle guitar chords and steady kick-drum pulse of album closer "Ponytail," each sound is economical and deliberate. Lennox's gift here is assembling small sounds to create a bigger picture. "Take Pills" builds its rhythm from interlocking samples of scraping skateboard wheels and an anonymous oldies radio loop before walls of Beach Boys-esque harmonies come in on top. The song goes on to a second half made up of a bouncing, skeletal bassline and more waves of harmonies, occasional sound effects of distant atom bombs, screeching animals, and splashing puddles all culminating in a blurry pastiche that seconds as a perfect pop song. This is also true of album centrepiece "Bros," a 12-minute collage of chiming guitar arpeggios, stony vocal harmonies, hooting owls, and phasing loops that fade in and out of each other. More electronic impulses are blended into the respective grooves of two-parter "Good Girl/Carrots," while hazy tape manipulation, wordless vocal loops, and soft noise make up the more ambient "Search for Delicious." Disarmingly simple, perfectly metered, and striking in both its playfulness and vulnerability, Person Pitch stood as a perfectly executed statement for Lennox, and in at least some circles of indie rock, a musical revelation.{AllMusic.com}

Definitely a winner in my books.

The Finnish band Circle are currently on the cover of the August issue of Wire.Here is a live set they did in their home town of Pori.

Circle Live at Jungle Jane 1995 (Wire Special)



Circle formed in 1991 in Pori, a city on the west coast of Finland. Since then the group's line-up has changed several times, with Jussi Lehtisalo the only remaining founding member. This performance took place a year after the release of their first album Meronia at Pori's well-known venue Jungle Jane. The band have specially edited the footage for The Wire.

So what musical selection shall i play now you are wondering - a mixed bag , not just one genre - first track by Beefheart is also in the Wire Primers book-




In fact, all these tracks are from albums listed in this book -

Captain Beefheart - Electricity

As it says on Amazon

"Since it was founded in 1982, The Wire magazine has covered a vast range of alternative, experimental, underground and non-mainstream music. Now some of that knowledge has been distilled into The Wire Primers: a comprehensive guide to the core recordings of some of the most visionary and inspiring, subversive and radical musicians on the planet, past and present. Each chapter surveys the musical universe of a particular artist, group or genre by way of a contextualizing introduction and a thumbnail guide to the most essential recordings. A massive and eclectic range of music is celebrated and demystified, from rock mavericks such as Captain Beefheart and The Fall; the funk of James Brown and Fela Kuti; the future jazz of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman; and the experimental compositions of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Genres surveyed and explained include P-funk, musique concrète, turntablism, Brazilian Tropicália, avant metal and dubstep. The Wire Primers is a vital guide to contemporary sounds, providing an accessible entry point for any reader wanting to dig below the surface of mainstream music."

Yeah and i love it all.

Enjoy.
