Saxophonist Darius Jones is an artist whose music is always in flux – especially in recent years when he's really been stretching out – and that quality is really opened up here in a great cover feature! This issue of the The Wire also features articles on the legendary new age synth wizard Steve Roach, the avant folk group Shovel Dance Collective, avant jazz group Ahmed, and Danish instrumentalist Clarissa Connelly – plus more on the scene in Dublin, the cover art of D'Angelo's Voodoo, and Indian electronic musician Arushi Jain – as well as the usual huge section of record reviews, and Ka Baird on the Invisible Jukebox! And also includes a bonus CD – a new edition of The Wire Tapper, with a great selection of contemporary underground sounds. Magazine
