Bastard
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Colin Newman, guitarist and producer behind post-punk legends Wire, ventured into pure electronic territory with Bastard in 1997. The album navigates between techno minimalism, synth-pop hooks, and drum and bass rhythms—a fascinating snapshot of late-90s electronic experimentation. Newman's background in Wire's sparse, angular aesthetic carries through here, applied to contemporary dance production. Tracks pulse with precise programming and synthesis, moving between harder techno sequences and more melodic passages that showcase Newman's compositional sophistication. It's moody, intelligent electronic music that rewards close listening. A genuinely interesting document of how post-punk sensibilities could translate into modern electronic genres.
