This Way, originally released in 1984 on
Mute (STUMM 18), was Bruce GilbertÆs
first solo album being realised in that
brief period between Dome winding down
operations and Wire reforming for first
time.
A stunning study of controlled ambience
and subtle minimalism, which is still
regarded as an all time favourite to us
here at Editions Mego. The bulk of the
album is taken up by the mighty Do You
Me? I Did / Swamp pieces which were
commissioned for piece of the same name
by choreographer Michael Clark. A grey
tonal poem of amazing bleak beauty
building up to the ecstatic crescendo of
the third movement. Elsewhere short
notes on the possibilities of abstract
electronic noise are included in the
form of Here Visit and U, Mu, U, which
still hold their sense of urgency a
quarter of a century after being
initially recorded. This is also the
first time the complete album is
available domestically on CD.
Previous CD issues were the This Way to
The Shivering Man on Mute (with U Mu U
missing), and the Japan only 3 CD box
with This Way, Shivering Man and
Insiding previously released by Alfa
Recordings.
This 25th Anniversary reissue is
remastered by Russell Haswell and
contains a re-work by Dave Coppenhall on
Angela Conway's original artwork.
