The second release in the XTC Surround series, a new edition of the band’s classic third album from 1979, at the time a breakthrough for the band, containing their first UK hit single “Making Plans for Nigel”, and introducing the 2 guitar line-up featuring Dave Gregory alongside principal songwriters Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding, and drummer Terry Chambers.
Featuring new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes made from the original multitrack tapes by Steven Wilson. Also included are 11 bonus tracks mixed into stereo and 5.1, the original stereo album mix, instrumental mixes, promo videos, and other bonus material, all in high resolution 96/24 audio.
SW produced the new mixes with the input of founder band member Andy Partridge and the full approval of the band.
Presented in special packaging with an expanded booklet and sleeve-notes by Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory, this is the cd and blu-ray version.
The CD features the new stereo album mix and 6 bonus tracks – Chain of Command, Limelight, Life Begins at the Hop, Homo Safari, Ten Feet Tall (electric version), and Wait ‘Til Your Boat Goes Down.

Following Go 2, keyboardist Barry Andrews left XTC and, rather than finding a replacement keyboard player, the band opted to recruit another guitarist (who could also play keyboards), Dave Gregory. The album that followed the lineup change, Drums and Wires, marks a turning point for the band, with a more subdued set of songs that reflect an increasing songwriting proficiency. The aimless energy of the first two albums is focused into a cohesive statement with a distinctive voice that retains their clever humor, quirky wordplay, and decidedly British flavor. Musically, Drums and Wires, titled to reflect the big drum sound they developed for the album, is certainly driven by the powerful rhythms and angular, mainly minimalistic arrangements, but the addition of a second guitarist also allows for some inventive and interesting guitar work (the “wires”) that made up for the lack of Andrews’ odd flourishes — the tension between the two sounds creates some truly inspired, nervy pop. Colin Moulding also comes into his own as a songwriter, penning XTC’s first substantial hit, the new wave classic “Making Plans for Nigel.” –Chris Woodstra
