{"product_id":"send","title":"Send","description":"Audio Mixer: Colin Newman.\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Author: Wilson Neate.\u003cbr\u003eOf all the bands to emerge from the late-1970s UK punk-rock explosion, Wire not only remained active nearly 30 years later, but the quartet also managed to retain its unique, vehement edge. Wire set itself apart from the angry young men of '77 by bringing an intellectual sensibility (and subtle, wry humor) to the loud, fast punk\/indie ethos, with each album displaying marked musical progression. Released in 2003, SEND finds the group merging the stripped-down adrenaline rush of 1977's PINK FLAG with the sleek electronic sounds of 1987's THE IDEAL COPY.\u003cbr\u003eThe galvanizing \"In the Art of Stopping\" features a hypnotic swatch of melody amid hook-driven, manically grinding guitars, with the defining aspects of Wire's style--sardonic vocals, oblique yet witty lyrics, startling immediacy--still intact. The pounding, trance-like thunder of \"Mr. Marx's Table\" and \"Nice Streets Above\" even finds the ensemble absorbing techno and grindcore into its approach. While some long-lived bands are content to evoke or rework past glories, Wire proves that its only consistent trait is its uncompromising unpredictability.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022208155935,"sku":"5055300316455","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/bcfa2f6f94f1c5b9764ee051e479333f_9e343627-bbcd-4ee9-bd77-bdf3de9a13af.jpg?v=1782654871","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/send","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
