5 stars A new wave masterpiece
It's impossible to describe this work: too much sensations, the energy of punk and the feelings of wave, it's perfect music for me...

4 stars Wire's post-punk sound is a better one
I'm not a big fan of their punk sound of the late 70s -when I think of punk I think of Sex Pistols and The Clash, definetly not Wire. I enjoy "The Ideal Copy" equally to "Bell Is A Cup" . Every tune is unique and well done. Not one stinker. "Ahead" was the track that made the airwaves - that's the one i like the least in the bunch for it drags on a bit too long and monotonously.

Rod Stewart Album (1st LP) CD  (1969)

Ideal Copy album
CD $6.85  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In between their departure from the Jeff Beck Group and their joining the Small Faces, Rod Stewart and buddy Ron Wood went into the studio to record THE ROD STEWART ALBUM (aka AN OLD RAINCOAT WON'T EVER LET YOU DOWN). Within the span of eight songs, Stewart used his soulful rasp to dismiss any ideas that he was merely Beck's singer. With Wood riding shotgun and playing potent bottleneck guitar, Stewart's talents were demonstrated on mostly self-penned material. The only exceptions were a rollicking "Street Fighting Man," a baroque reading of Mike D'Abo's "Handbags And Gladrags" (featuring D'Abo on piano) and folkie Ewan MacColl's "Dirty Old Town." Stewart's own material showed off ...

Ideal Copy CD music
CD $10.29  Audio Samples
Highlights include the catchy "Eardrum Buzz," complete with a sawing bass line, jittering percussion, and sing-along (though very strange) lyrics, and "Public Place," which is reworked into an eerie, spacious ambient excursion with vocals. There's a vastly superior version of THE IDEAL COPY's "Over Theirs," featuring an amped-up phased guitar and a brutal chopping beat, and "The Offer," an uncharacteristically simple-sounding pop song. IBTABA is an essential purchase for fans. Continuing its fascination with manipulating ...

Wire Send CD  (2003)

Ideal Copy music CDs
CD $13.15  4.5 stars Audio Samples
Of 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. The galvanizing "In the Art of Stopping" features a hypnotic swatch of melody amid hook-driven, manically grinding guitars, ...

Arcade Fire Funeral CD  (2004)

Ideal Copy songs
CD $12.25  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology. This ...

CD $13.15  4.5 stars Top 500
Like its predecessor, 1977's CHAIRS MISSING, 154 finds Wire moving away from its punk roots toward darker, more experimental horizons. There is less overt anger and insolence than in the past, and in its place is plenty of dark weirdness. Truly disturbing at certain points, this album is a challenging listen. This is not a record ...
