Album of the Week: Vanishing Twin's Archives | The Quietus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Absence makes the art grow bolder says Will Ainsley about Archives, which sounds like Chiastic Slide-era Autechre reimagining the Wicker Man soundtrack The idea that an album could be made piecemeal, in different countries, via the internet, would have been inconceivable forty years ago. Such technology would have seemed strange; stranger still might have been the idea that the traditional method – that is, recording a series of songs in one place during a set period of time – is far less viable
Public Enemy's Apocalypse 91 The Enemy Strikes Black Revisited 35 years on | The Quietus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Public Enemy's fourth album is often overlooked but it's a true killer, says Angus Batey When the greatness of Public Enemy is discussed – which is often, for the band were, and indeed still are, one of the most consistently inventive, provocative and excellent outfits of the recorded-music-as-business era – the focus inevitably falls on their second and third albums.

Having spent the previous decade lauded as rock & roll’s most compelling survivor – an intoxicating mix of self-destruction, self-sabotage and musical innovation – Iggy Pop found himself, improbably, with a hit album on his hands. Not a reissue, not a co
His Last Major Stand: Songs In The Key Of Life Turns 50 | The Quietus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Stubbs unpicks Stevie Wonder's transition from a technological pioneer to a musically conservative finger wagger of the highest order, and wonders just what might have been Ten years ago this Summer as part of the BST Festival at Hyde Park, Stevie Wonder performed his classic double album Songs In The Key Of Life in its entirety. Shameless nostalgia notwithstanding, it was almost certainly a stormer. Wonder has never lost his sheer, infectious, convulsive ability to entertain, to wrench ev
