Of The Matter
Mark Champion | San Antonio, TX United States | 04/01/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wistful and atmospheric, The Wake's second LP is reissued here along with the two singles and their B-sides released around the same time, as well as the last Factory EP 'Something No One Else Could Bring.' Songs like 'Oh, Pamela,' 'Torn Calendar' and 'Melancholy Man' from the original LP are stunners, breathtakingly beautiful; 'Gruesome Castle' and the shimmering 'Pale Spectre' from the EP are just as good. They'd come quite a long way from the first LP, 'Harmony', and the implosive frustration and trenchant cynicism of the ensuing Sarah Records releases are barely evident. The mid-80's Factory ambience prevails- - -distant vocals and a hazy layer of echo only add to the overall effect of lost opportunity and wishful thinking. Having been remastered from vinyl, the only drawback to this reissue is a very slight wavering on the early tracks, as if the LP used for remastering was just a tad warped. If you've never heard the original LP you probably won't notice it- -but you probably wouldn't be reading this either. Make no mistake, this is very good stuff indeed."
Holds up mostly well, but shows age in places

"Right about the time New Order was learning how to play chords, this Glaswegian band (and Factory labelmates) took the layered-synth sound and made it their trademark, soaring above melancholy guitar and vocal work.Now, more than 15 years later, most of the songs are still as beautiful and haunting -- but some of the simpler ones are showing their age as relics of the 1980s.If you're curious about The Wake, this is the one disc of theirs to buy. Most likely the music will mean more if you heard it Way Back When.Pluses: The eight non-LP singles are tough to find elsewhere and add up to a reasonable CD's worth of music on this otherwise short album.Minuses: Liner notes say that the master tapes were lost and the CD is mastered "from vinyl" with extra postprocessing. I didn't hear anything noticeably bad, though."
