Dome ‎– "Dome" (Dome Records ‎– DOME 1) 1980

Glbert and Lewis,the artier ones from Wire, complete quest to finally remove the rock form the punk. Not much here for fans of '12XU',as minimal as that was.Even though, proto-hardcore album,Pink Flag, has more in common with Dome than the other two Wire harvest albums;purely for its reductive qualities. This was rock'n'roll reduced down to its most basic form, a journey continued by the Dome project. Here the music is textural ambient echo's from a neighbouring room merging with the occasional beats,guitars and voices of conventional song structures, inevitably dissolving into the murk. There seems to be a German prog influence at work here, in a melange with post punk UK,with the Industrial scene rising to the surface of these turbulent , muddied, waters. There's something post-diluvian about this record,the moment when one exits a nuclear bunker after the all-clear siren,taking a moment to take stock before making something new from the wreckage. A down trip,after the exhilarating highs of the punk rock years; post-orgasmic depression captured as a dull thud.
