One of the gems of the post-punk era, XTC's 1979 album "Drums and Wires" receives a transformative 2025 reissue with immersive Dolby Atmos audio, mixed and produced by Steven Wilson. Originally produced by Steve Lillywhite and engineer Hugh Padgham, this landmark release showcases the band's evolution into a twin guitar/bass/drums configuration following Dave Gregory's arrival, marking a shift in musical direction and maturity. The expanded audio experience reveals previously overlooked details, bringing the album's sonic richness into the 21st century while preserving its historic integrity. Highlights include the expansive "Roads Girdle the Globe" and the intense closing track "Complicated Game," now more immersive than ever.
