I, for one, want to see the return of the drunk man in the salmon pink suit.

Out of curiosity, how do you all think the Wire solo tracks compare with the Wire Manics tracks? There's an album's worth by now;
Wattsville Blues The Ballad Of The Bangkok Novotel Dying Breeds Failure Bound The Long Goodbye Lady Lazarus William's Last Words The Future Has Been Here 4-Ever Engage With Your Shadow The Passing Show Rock 'N' Roll Genius As Holy As The Soul (That Buries Your Skin) Death Of A Digital Ghost Antisocial Manifesto Before I Leave Last edited by Phil C; 27-05-2016 at 22:03. Reason: Missed a couple of tracks

Are covers excluded because you forgot Time Ain't Nothing, which i love. But, personally, i would say his solo tracks win by a fair margin. I've just about come to terms with what was done to the original lyric of william's last words.
edit: Of course there's also Failure Bound and Dying Breeds. Anything else?

Well, half-happened. Over a period of several years. With about five and a half tracks completed, and the person who said they'd supply bass parts lost to a My Vitriol forum.  I put IKTZ on for the first time in a good while yesterday. I'd forgotten how good Ocean Rain is, tucked away at the end. The way he sings All at sea again... just makes me smile. Sums up the mix of resigned humour and melancholy, that oddly comforting Wire-ness, that makes the album so special.

I have a confession...
Manics fan for years and years and years, many gigs, love the band, love all the songs... ... never heard IKTZ.
