5.0 out of 5 stars
The Greatest music magazine on the planet...,
By
This review is from: The Wire (Magazine)
The Wire is the definitive source for infomation and thought regarding experimental, avant garde, or forward thinking music. My eyes and ears have been opened. The Wire has helped my musical tastes and knowledge evolve exponentially in the past 3 years. I consider the Wire to be akin to a scholarly journal...it's much more than you're 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 reccomend this magazine to anyone with discriminating tastses and intelligence. Well-written, and often including excellent CD's that you'll actually want to listen to, The Wire is definately worth the elevated import price, and a true journalistic treasure.

Simply the best... to discover what's next in modern music,
By
This review is from: The Wire (Magazine)
Avalanches of new bands, acts and performers every year creates or redefine genres and tendencies in modern music. The only way to understand things like "clicks&cuts", or "laptop techno" is to read about them, because it's almost impossible to buy or download every new album that is issued every week. The most avant garde of all magazines is the british 'The Wire' where you can read 100 record reviews and know only a 10% of the artists commented. The main areas covered are electronica, avant rock, improv and any other weird or experimental music. It's a bible for obsessive listeners like me.

Everything a music magazine should be,
By
This review is from: The Wire (Magazine)
Literary and even-minded and yet completely gushy and fannish at the same time. The Wire does focus on jazz, but many other fringe, avant garde, and just plain great genres are also very well represented. If, like me, you feel it's increasingly difficult to stay knowledgable of musical innovators, The Wire is the perfect antidote. The Invisible Jukebox feature, in which a musician of note is made to guess the names of songs the editors play for him or her, is especially great (so great, in fact, that there's a whole book dedicated to collecting some of the best episodes of the feature so far.)
