One of XTC’s great early albums is getting another facelift courtesy of remixer Steven Wilson.  The Porcupine Tree musician and engineer counts the Swindon cult heroes among his earliest remix work, fashioning new stereo and surround mixes of Drums and Wires, Black Sea, The Big Express, Skylarking, Oranges & Lemons and Nonsuch between 2013 and 2023 (along with a compilation of the group’s psychedelic work under the alter ego The Dukes of Stratosphear). With multitrack tapes for additional Virgin-era XTC albums proving tough to come by, Wilson revisited Skylarking in Dolby Atmos last year, and has now done the same for Drums and Wires. The new CD/Blu-ray edition adds a little more to the proceedings, carrying over most of the material from the last reissue with some revisions and additions.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
