Gilbert, Bruce

This Way / The Shivering Man [VINYL 2 LPs]

Label: Editions Mego Country: Australia

"Editions Mego presents a special gatefold vinyl edition collecting Bruce Gilbert's classic solo albums from 1984 and 1986 in a limited edition of 500. This Way, originally released in 1984 on Mute, was UK guitarist Bruce Gilbert's first solo album, realized in that brief period between Dome winding down operations and Wire reforming for the first time. A stunning study of controlled ambience and subtle minimalism which is still regarded as an all-time favorite at Editions Mego. The Shivering Man, originally released in 1986 on Mute, was Bruce Gilbert's second solo album, further exploring Gilbert's investigations into the grey border where abstract noise and rhythm co-exist with obscure melodies and song structures. The sound is further expanded with guest vocal appearances by Angela Conway and fellow Wire traveller Graham Lewis."-Editions Mego
