The Wire #501

A must for any underground music fan, The Wire reports on alternative, underground and non-mainstream music, ‘waging war on the mundane and the mediocre.’
Texan ambient composer Claire Rousay leads the issue, along with the late John Giorno’s Giorno Poetry Systems, a label specialising in reordicngs linked to the Beat poets.
Inside, the likes of Rafael Toral, Lord Spikeheart, Yusuf Mumin and Susa Laroche.

Passionate, intelligent and provocative, The Wire wages war on the mundane and the mediocre. Its office is based in London, but it serves an international readership.Published since 1982.
