When Wire split in 1980,Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis became a powerhouse team, releasingmusic under aliases like 8 Time, Duet Emmo, He Said, P'O, Mzui, as wellas producing albums from folks like The The and Angela Conway. One ofthe projects, Dome had four full-length albums (simply titled 1, 2, 3and 4) and explored loops and rhythms moreso than any of their otherextra-curricular projects. YCLEPT is the first release as Dome since1984's "4" and once again delves into experimental loops, atmospherictunes and a little drone here and there. The album is collected fromvarious recordings made from 1983, 1988-89, and 1998-99 with producerslike Gareth Jones, Daniel Miller and Rico Conning. It is very much aDome album as the album is graced by many tracks of varied length(while some of their other projects had either 30 minute drones orvocal parallel-pop songs). The sound is as fresh as ever with somecatchy hooks and treated guitar work. All this is really building upfor a great re-introduction of Wire to the world I hope.
