Dome (LP)
Original 1980 edition on Dome of the superb first LP of Gilbert & Lewis' experimental/industrial/electronic ambient soundscapes.
condition (record/cover): EX / EX- (light ring wear on back)
During Wire’s lengthy hiatus (1980 to 1986), bassist Graham Lewis and guitarist B.C. (Bruce) Gilbert continued their partnership — often under the name Dome — to explore the outer reaches of studio technique and synthetic sound, sidestepping Wire’s arcane hitmaking tendencies and Colin Newman’s more classical aspirations. Dome abandons conventional song form for a hodgepodge of treated instruments and voices, with lurching mechanical noises infrequently keeping a vague beat; melodies fragment under studio manipulation.
