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
Once again, the Wire goes way past the ordinary – and opens the door to the kinds of sounds that keep our ears happy, and our record collections interesting year after year! In addition to a look at composer/producer Bobby Krlic, aka The Haxan Cloak, on the cover – the issue features articles on singer/songwriter Linda Smith, Angolan DJ Znobia, and electronic wizard Ariel Kalma – plus more on Univers Zero, Billy Bultheel, Lumpeks, Yosuhiro Moringa, John Pope, and the scene in Santiago! And as a great bonus, Kahil El'Zabar takes on the Invisible Jukebox – and the issue ends with the usual huge section of reviews. Magazine
A big double-length issue of The Wire – one that offers a very detailed look back at the musical year of 2023 – but from that decidedly leftfield perspective that makes the magazine so great year after year! There's special features that include "Beyond Bandcamp", "Practical Uses For AI", "Modern Antiquarians", and "The Gaza Effect" – plus other more standard features on Fred Frith, Laetitia Sadier, and the usual huge number of reviews – as well as the great Linton Kwesi Johnson on the long-running Invisible Jukebox feature!

Avant metal giants Khanate are on the cover – looking as dark as you might guess from their music – and the issue also has a look back at legendary Krautrock experimentalists Agitation Free, plus electroacoustic duo Beam Splitter, multi-instrumentalist Mpho Molikeng, Osaka group Violent Magic Orchestra, and the extreme metal festival in Berlin! As usual, there's a huge amount of reviews of avant and experimental releases in recent months – and singer Dali De Saint Paul tries out on the long-running Invisible Jukebox! Magazine
