Wire (UK)

Wire (UK) magazine - Mainstream UK musical press with a flair, Wire covers the gamut from rock to hip-hop, to electronica and jazz.

Here are one reader's comments on the publication:

'Wire is the definitive source for information and thought regarding experimental, avant garde, or forward thinking music. My eyes and ears have been opened . . . I consider The Wire to be akin to a scholarly journal . . . much more than your average glossy Americanized-advertisment filled rags.

This publication is a well needed antidote to today's profit driven, corporate controlled media garbage that we are constantly bombarded with.

I know of nowhere else where Sun Ra, the Boredoms, Cannibal Ox, Miles Davis, Sonic Youth, the Grateful Dead, and Venetian Snares can peacefully co-exist with Kid 606, Merzbow, Albert Ayler, Tom Waits, John Cage, Autechre, and Bjork.

I highly recommend this magazine to anyone with discriminating taste and intelligence. Well-written, and often including excellent CD's that you'll actually want to listen to, The Wire is definitely worth the elevated import price, and a true journalistic treasure.'
