As with previous volumes in the series, the CD will contain a range of new, rare or exclusive tracks from across the spectrum of the kind of underground/outsider musics covered in The Wire. Packaged in a heavy duty card sleeve designed by The Wire's art director Ben Weaver. On the cover of this month's magazine: Noise In The Ether (Explorations in the art of radio transmission). Features: Anne-James Chaton (The French sound poet folds everyday ephemera into work with Andy Moor and alva noto); entr'acte (Derek Walmsley celebrates the London label's vacuum packed, pristine improv and electronic catalogue); Global Ear: Belém (Andy Cumming on the shanty-town sound of Tecnobrega coming from this Brazilian outpost); Cross Platform: Matt Stokes (Musical subcultures and folk customs come under the microscope in this London artist's elaborate video reconstructions); Invisible Jukebox: Mike Watt (The Minutemen, fIREHOUSE and current Stooges bassist tangles with The Wire's mystery record selection); Catherine Christer Hennix (The Swedish electronic composer's shapeshifting trance music is a fusion of deep mathematics and alternative tuning systems); Los Angeles Free Music Society (The legendary collective galvanized 1970s LA with anarchic improv, noise and Beefheart-style free rock, and now they're doing it again); Epiphanies (Russell Mills on the art of collage with Jack Jackson and Kurt Schwitters)."
