Review of "Wolves on Fire" CD-R:

Wolves on Fire The Age of Wire and String are a Glaswegian cello, guitar and electronics trio who really live up to their name. Recalling Tony Conrad and John Cale, Peter Nicholson' intense sawing weaves a fearsome shivering of strings in and out of Neil Davidson's equally frantic guitar and Jamie Allen's inventive, old school electronic splatter. Cut into sizeable chunks and labelled Singe, Crackle, Pop etc, AOWAS has far more going for it that its crudely assembled CD-R in a colour Xeroxed sleeve suggests. Edwin Pouncey, The Wire
