WIRE - THE DRILL
Mute Records 1991
http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/pmpWSVyO/file.html
Remixes and alternate versions have become staples of popular music. But while most bands
use them as bonus tracks or B-side fodder, Wire is one of the only rock groups to have
filled an album with versions of the same song ("Drill"). Built on a paradigmatic Wire
rhythm affectionately known as "dugga," "Drill" was born during rehearsals for the band's
1985 return to live performance. A first studio recording appeared on Snakedrill (1986), but
in concert the track began to mutate, in both its arrangement and duration (lasting from
five to 30 minutes). Inspired by "Drill"'s metamorphoses, in 1989 Wire decided to continue
the process in the studio, beyond the constraints imposed by simple live configurations of
guitar, bass, and drums. Additionally, the project was approached as a means of feeling out
the newer technology to be employed on the next album, Manscape. Six of the nine tracks on
The Drill are fruits of that endeavor. Comprising experiments within the genre that would
come to be known as electronica, they range from the slower and more fluid (the pulsing
"What's Your Desire?") to the frenetic and the fragmented (the perky "Jumping Mint").
Although things come unstuck with "Did You Dugga?" -- which sounds like a cartoon version of
house music -- more than adequate compensation is provided by the "Drill"/"12XU" hybrid of
"In Every City?" and the live, 12-minute "(A Chicago) Drill." At the time of its release,
The Drill ranked among Wire's more idiosyncratic ventures, but considering subsequent work
in minimal electronica by other artists, it doesn't seem so strange now. "There can never be
enough Drills in the world," Wire guitarist Bruce Gilbert has said. -- Wilson Neate (Allmusic)
I first heard Wire in 1977 while living in Boston and listening almost exclusively to
college radio. MIT had a great little low power station that broadcast out of a campus
basement, WMBR, Memorial Basement Radio. (I remember the call letters as WTBS also, but Ted
Turner bought the name from MIT, or so rumor has it.) At that time the kids at MIT were
playing a lot of punk and what some called New Wave. One of those bands was Wire who had a
great album out called "Pink Flag" which got a lot of college airplay. I bought that album
plus the next one, "Chairs Missing," another great New Wave/Punk album.
It wasn't until the late 90s when I got my first computer that I discovered the later Wire
records and CDs. Their music had evolved and I was floored by the "dugga" style of "The
Drill." I bought many of their CDs and now have close to a dozen. I can't really pick out
a favorite but the song "Drill" is my favorite. I've included two bonus Drills from two
other CDs. I'm sure there are more out there but this is what I have. Dugga Dugga. --

JAMES BOOKER - The Lost Paramount Tapes ’73 @320
This is a disc made by one of the best piano players to come out of New Orleans, James Booker, playing with an all-star band of New Orleans musicians, most of whom Booker befriended during his days with Dr. John. The music sparkles, all the more amazing because it was recorded live in the L.A. area with no overdubs in 1973, and is just being released in 1997 because it was lost for 20 years. This disc hits a groove and does not quit, shifting from straight-ahead blues to an R&B beat, drifting into some complex Caribbean rhythms, moving off into some jazz riffs, but all the time maintaining the original blues feel it started with. All the players get to shine, but it is definitely James Booker's disc. (Allmusic)
Folks down in the Crescent City have a particular way of describing a piano player that embodies the rhythm, soul, and funky boogie woogie that permiates every steamy inch of New Orleans. That person becomes known as a professor -- the most famous example being Professor Longhair. James Booker -- eye patch, narcotic nature, wickedly talented, and dead too soon -- is the premier professor. And this record, recorded, I believe, in Los Angeles, is a remarkable testiment to Booker's professorial prowess. (Swamp Monkey)

OTIS CLAY - Trying To Live My Life Without You '72 @320
Quite possibly the most successful record Otis Clay ever cut – and a wonderful little set that recasts his bluesy Chicago vocals with a sweeter Memphis soul approach! Willie Mitchell is very firmly in the house for the record – and the approach he uses here with Otis is similar to that he used with Al Green on his biggest hits – slow-burning, slinkily soulful – in a way that infuses older modes of singing with a new level of sophistication and adult appeal! Backing is by the Memphis Horns – shimmering nicely in a trademark Hi sort of way – and titles include the classic "Trying To Live My Life Without You", plus "I Love You, I Need You", "Holding Onto A Dying Love", "I Die A Little Each Day", and "That's How It Is". (Out of print.) © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Even though he had some hits, Otis Clay never achieved great fame as a soul man. He’s made some fine discs over the years however, and if prime soul circa the early-‘70s fits into your bag, then you may want to check out the reissue of Trying to Live My Life without You. Initially released in 1972 by Hi Records, a definite signifier of soul quality, the LP is currently being offered on vinyl by Fat Possum. Amongst other redeeming qualities, it’s serves as the best representation of his work under the auspices of renowned producer Willie Mitchell. (Vinyl District)

Thank you Gyro for NY4.

Ted Turner gave WMBR a new studio console in exchange for their WTBS (Tech Broadcasting Service) call letters. At that same time I used to enjoy their morning sign-on show "Sleepwalk" with Tami Heide which was mostly 60's garage stuff....although I don't think that genre had been coined yet. Tami also worked at Newbury Comics in Boston back then. I heard she later became a big DJ in LA.
Yup. Newbury Comics where you could buy all the local band's flexi-discs. I was 30-31 back then and I would call in and ask the "kids" to play the Seeds. They always would.
Thanks
If any folks are on the fence, the Lost Paramount Tapes are IMO some of his very best recordings. Even though they were recorded in Los Angeles, the musicians are genuine New Orleans. I think Booker was on tour with Dr. John at the time and they took the opportunity in LA to do a studio session backing Booker using some other NOLA transplants in LA at the time, such as drummer John Boudreaux-- who goes back to the very birth of New Orleans R&B. enjoy this one.
I hosted one day's worth of WMBR's daily 60's show for a couple of years back in the mid 90's. They're still going strong and still doing the right things. You can check them out at http://wmbr.org/www/listen

To call West Side Soul one of the great blues albums, one of the key albums (if not the key album) of modern electric blues is all true, but it tends to diminish and academicize Magic Sam's debut album. This is the inevitable side effect of time, when an album that is decades old enters the history books, but this isn't an album that should be preserved in amber, seen only as an important record. Because this is a record that is exploding with life, a record with so much energy, it doesn't sound old.
Of course, part of the reason it sounds so modern is because this is the template for most modern blues, whether it comes from Chicago or elsewhere. Magic Sam may not have been the first to blend uptown soul and urban blues, but he was the first to capture not just the passion of soul, but also its subtle elegance, while retaining the firepower of an after-hours blues joint. Listen to how the album begins, with "That's All I Need," a swinging tune that has as much in common with Curtis Mayfield as it does Muddy Waters, but it doesn't sound like either -- it's a synthesis masterminded by Magic Sam, rolling along on the magnificent, delayed cadence of his guitar and powered by his impassioned vocals.
West Side Soul would be remarkable if it only had this kind of soul-blues, but it also is filled with blistering, charged electric blues, fueled by wild playing by Magic Sam and Mighty Joe Young -- not just on the solos, either, but in the rhythm (witness how "I Feel So Good [I Wanna Boogie]" feels unhinged as it barrels along). Similarly, Magic Sam's vocals are sensitive or forceful, depending on what the song calls for. Some of these elements might have been heard before, but never in a setting so bristling with energy and inventiveness; it doesn't sound like it was recorded in a studio, it sounds like the best night in a packed club.
But it's more than that, because there's a diversity in the sound here, an originality so fearless, he not only makes "Sweet Home Chicago" his own (no version before or since is as definitive as this), he creates the soul-injected, high-voltage modern blues sound that everybody has emulated and nobody has topped in the years since. And, again, that makes it sound like a history lesson, but it's not. This music is alive, vibrant, and vital -- nothing sounds as tortured as "I Need You So Bad," no boogie is as infectious as "Mama, Mama Talk to Your Daughter," no blues as haunting as "All of Your Love." No matter what year you listen to it, you'll never hear a better, more exciting record that year.
