ADRIAN SHERWOOD ESSAY ON COLLABORATING WITH MARK STEWART FOR WIRE

‘Working with Mark was something of a sound re-education. You spent a lot of studio time unlearning, experimenting and ignoring rules about levels to tape and studio do’s and don’ts. You discovered how much fun could be had in the land of overload’

Adrian Sherwood on his first meeting & early musical adventures with Mark Stewart for the ‘Epiphanies’ column in the March issue of Wire

Includes reflections on early days at Revolver Records in Bristol, The Pop Group era, Mark’s lyrical content & reading list, working on material for the debut Maffia album ‘Learning To Cope With Cowardice’ & more
