## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Amazing!
  

*by B***X on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014*

I own most of the XTC catalog, and to be honest 'Drums & Wires' was not in my top 5 for the band.  However, listening to the 5.1 mix by Steven Wilson of this work has changed my ranking considerably.One of the things I like about XTC along with other groups like Gentle Giant  (another band remixed by Steven Wilson) is the artist's many layers of instruments, flourishes, and little bits of ear candy.  What I find very interesting in hearing the 5.1 mix and comparing to my memory of numerous listens of the original stereo mix is that many of these layers get lost with only 2 speakers to present them.  Basically I'm hearing little details in every song in 5.1 that provide much more appreciation of the arrangements and production.These songs, compared to XTC's more recent releases, originally came across to me as a bit punk/new-wave, while I lean more towards their quirky-pop material.  But hearing the little details in 5.1, it's more like "punk with brilliant arrangements and players", which I find endearing.And I have to say, the sound is incredible--this may be one of Steven Wilson's finest 5.1 mixes (and I own most of Steven's catalog as well).  Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that Hugh Padgham was engineer on the original tracks--I suspect Steven started out with some very high quality raw tracks.If you're any kind of fan of XTC, this one is definitely worth a listen.

    Great album made even better.
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017*

This album is considered to the first true XTC album (by many XTC fans).  With the inclusion of Dave Gregory, this album was a departure from the previous 2 albums (Go 2 and White Music).  This album is a little less punky and more towards song crafting that XTC is noted for in their later albums.  This is not to say that Go 2 and White Music are bad albums, which they are not but the style of music and song writing changes with this album.This version of Drums and Wires by the band XTC sounds amazing after Steven Wilson remixed in 5.1 surround.  Not only do you get the new mix of the album in 5.1, but there is an instrumental version, a version in demo form and the original mix of the album as it was issue in 1979.Plus there are a number of other demos and videos, so there is a lot to love with the album and extras included on this CD/BLU-ray set.  It is a must for any XTC fan and a hell of a lot cheaper than the Beatles Sgt. Pepper set that just came out.  So add this to your collection and you will not be sorry.
