That and It Seems, in retrospect, were the beginnings of CN becoming an electronic artist (mainly as Immersion, with his wife). He gets tagged as the conventional one because of Gilbert and Lewis, but he's got just as solid a track record for strange and minimalist work.
He had to try something different as Wire were a terrible punk band.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 1:14pmThat and It Seems, in retrospect, were the beginnings of CN becoming an electronic artist (mainly as Immersion, with his wife).

CN has that McCartneyesque natural gift for melody so even when he gets really weird it's usually pretty songful, if not tuneful. Gilbert and Lewis are texture guys. Lewis can write some very good tunes but you never get the feeling it's his primary focus.
