MZUI, Waterloo Gallery (side A)

Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis from Wire worked as the duo Dome in the early-'80s. The MZUI album documents a Waterloo Gallery installation from 1982, and is pretty different from their Dome albums. It's not compositional or particularly electronic, but a recorded document of this installation. It reminds me most of work that Achim Wollscheid did many years later, except it's a series of short sketches, compared to Wollscheid's longer, conceptual pieces. The excellent packaging includes a booklet of photos documenting the installation.
