Wire: Snakedrill [Mute EP, 1986]
"`A Serious of Snakes'" is 154 updated technologically, rhythmically, and spiritually, which is almost to say transformed utterly--dance-trance with a nasty surrealistic edge. "Drill" does the same for Pink Flag. "Advantage in Height" is less of both worlds. "Up to the Sun" is a cappella noodling. Welcome back. B+
