Got news for ya ... he's been adapting and evolving the whole time ...
(and I'd call Bruce a "Punk pioneer", given that Wire started in 1976 ... )
Every solo record you can find that says "Bruce Gilbert" on the cover - from
"This Way" to "The Shivering Man" to "Insiding" to "Music For Fruit" - is total
and complete godhead. The man is a total genius ... and he turned 48 this year
(he's older than both Bowie and Eno). Yeow!

P.S. This has fuck-all to do with IDM, but hearing Wire's "154" for the first
time in 1979 provoked an almost-religious experience ... :-)
