This one's for those already into Wire, really. Sort of a missing link between 1977's "Pink Flag" and 1978's "Chairs Missing", with more of the sound of the former (pretty bare-bones, not yet so gloomy and experimental), but with tons of ideas and very different versions of songs that ended up on the latter as well as their third album in 1979, "154".

Trees, Grass and Stones - The Summer Tune. The TG&S lads take a quintessentially Swedish folk music-sounding melody, make a short and sweet though somewhat dirgy art rock track out of it, then move to the countryside and a few years later turn the same tune into sheer sprawling earthy brilliance. Not one to simply drop into the middle of!
Lest anyone be confused: TG&S is essentially the same band as International Harvester (and Pärson Sound, and simply Harvester). International Harvester was ironically named after a globocorp manufacturer of agricultural equipment.
